From the link:
"Darren Kindleysides, director of the Australian Marine Conservation Society, said the nets were working but at huge cost to whales, dolphins and turtles.

And Vic Hislop, an internationally-recognised authority on sharks, also believes the nets should be removed and other methods explored to scare away the predators."


Major Great Whites are hungry enough to cannibalize next to fishing boats?
Must be desperate.

Great Whites are not very smart they tend to confuse the Fishing Boats with being their Mother that is there to feed them snacks.

Thought this was going to be something about Jack Russell mixing it up with Terry Ilous.

Ummm, humpffff......which is the reason they predate some dinosaurs?

Major oceanic changes are happening in the earth's food chain.
From the US/Other Navy destroying top predators with sonar (whales/dolphins/etc), to global warming, to pollution, and to other mitigating factors, the normal cycles are being altered quickly.
