"Killing for food wrong"!!!!!
I guess we should anaesthetize our poultry/cows/sheep/pigs, take the meat off that we need, then sew them up again?
Or maybe just chow down on a livey like an animal?
Most rational thinking people would understand that eating animals for sustenance is here to stay. How those animals are treated and killed is always going to be a point of contention. The hypocrisy of people astounds me, treat pets like humans, be outraged over shark killings, community back pat when a whale gets pushed back out to sea, yet literally not give a rats arse about the welfare of millions of animals destined for the dinner plate.
Hypothetically, do you know anyone that would pay more for their meat if the animal was to be anesthetised prior to death?

Tagging has virtually died in WA, even the network of receivers is no longer being maintained, But in the East its starting to ramp up slowly.
Yet this last week they have tagged 24 Carnaby's. Solar power tag that collects and sends back data 8 times a day and a GPS location every 10minutes.
I said it 11 pages ago. Catch shark, tag shark, monitor in real time, gather data (water temp, numbers being tagged to see if culling is or isnt an issue etc) and clear the beaches / water when one is close so no **** gets eaten.
Surely designing a tag can't be that hard and everyone wins. Blokes can target the baddest fish in the sea, tackle shops will sell more 130lb tiagras, charter boats will have more bookings and lower running costs than chasing billfish, greenies will sleep better at night, water users will be loads safer and the govco won't be under constant pressure to do something.
SO why not the up roar at the government for not doing this 
Fisheries and Barnet came out saying they would tag sharks. They have provided many millions in funding to do it. They used that information to inform people of sharks movements when they came to close to the shore. HOWEVER they found it was happening too often meaning to many beach closures, (Bad for business) SO they changed the perimeters from 1 km of shore to 500m offshore. Then when beach closures were reduced came out bragging that their cull of tigers had worked to make our beaches safer 
The government then came out quietly and said they would no longer maintain any of the 289 receivers up and down the coast. Well three of them Trigg, Scarb and Mullaloo were all off line for over a month before Bens attack in Mandurah. The next day they were all repaired very conveniently, i guess to avoid criticism.
Ocearch came to Australia and offered to tag (for free) great whites with more real time tags. SO when they come to the surface they send out a signal, showing their location on a mobile phone app. (All be it a few hours old) Our state didn't think that was needed and there offer was rejected 
They did let them tag a few Tiger sharks up North and also of QLD. But Australia was not interested in them tagging Great Whites, apparently our government has that problem all under control

If it weren't for the blatant hypocrisy, technically all the tree/shark hugging banshees would.
Maybe they should be forced to, just to wake them up to reality?
Just prepping some spaghetti bolognese for dinner.
It fulfills a perverted desire within me, imagining the poor screaming defenseless cow being captive-bolted and throat slit.
At least that's what some retards think.
I'm actually pretty glad it won't be mooing at me off the plate while I eat it though, maily because of the awesome flavour that comes with thoroughly browning the mince first. Pretty hard to do that properly when the thing keeps moving.
Anyhow, it's smelling pretty good now...
Vegetables/Vegetarians/Vegans can choose to not read things too. Or just enjoy a succulent scotch fillet while reading. And a glass of red.
Shoot!! If all sharts were killed, this thread would not exist and we would all have less head aches and the added bonus of safer swimming in the ocean.
And while we are on the topic, these woalas and kombats are causing far too much damage to cars innocently hooting down the high way. They have to go too.
Hands up all those in favour of Cisco, the new Minister for the Environment!!!!
Maybe we should legalise marriages between humans and sharks
Love is love, don't blush baby
One could use a tag like a wedding ring, then no one could hurt that shark, not even its feelings.

You'd save on average only 3 peoples lives a year in Aus. 
If we spent the money instead on better beach safety and swimming, we could save around 100 a year..
Couldnt care less cant even be bothered reading your ****ing bull**** anymore. YOUR ONE OF THESE ****ING DELUSIONAL PEOPLE THAT THINK A 5 METRE GREAT WHITE SHARK IS YOUR FRIEND your living in a ****en dreamworld And if you think protecting less than 700km of the 14000km of coastline will place the numbers endangered your also ****ed in the head. blahblah tagging and nets dont go in the water what ever **** you can dribble wake the **** up

....and if you think "protecting less than 700km of coastline" is going to make a scrap of difference to a 5.0m Great White Shark whose just cruised in from South Africa, then I refer you back to your own censored abuse for illustration.
Was pleased to hear Mr Burrows opinion on the matter and that he will be spending some time working on the issue.
We all use the water, what makes anyone's opinion more or less than anyone else's.
Cull away, I'm out....
Forget that 9v battery and bit of retic wire JB and buy something that has been proven many times over to stop monster sharks in their tracks.

Doggies last words eh?
We can only wish
So 12 pages in and no one has suggested a shark spotting thread under surfing !!!!!
Inform people of when and where, oh wait might give away a secret spot........not.
Might save a life at the very least.
Oh hang on let's wait for tagging, culling, nets, devices.
just a suggestion 
12 pages and I finally found a solution. Just a sygestion : Its gona be a bad year for tourism but good year for crayfish.
It's strange how the Gold Coast has been netting sharks for 50 years and there's been no flack.
Why ?
Tourism maybe ?
