Australia attacks

I just watched a video about a third man being killed by a shark attack in the past two months in Australia. Now, there is a massive hunt for this "man-killer" that boats are lining up trying to bait in the great white shark. First of all, it is so sad that three men died, however, it would be IMPOSSIBLE that there was just one shark responsible for all three deaths and even harder to prove which one did it. Furthermore, how in the world can someone positively "ID" the shark that is responsible for the attacks. It's not like these sharks have ID cards that they can flash to people on the boats.
It is false to think that once a shark has tasted human blood that it is thirsty for more. That may be true for other animals but it is CERTAINLY NOT TRUE for sharks. Sharks are notorious for attacking due to mistaken identity. Once the shark realizes that it's prey isn't a seal, fish, dolphin, etc...it USUALLY swims away. It has been proven that sharks DO NOT like the taste of human blood or flesh. We are too bony for them, which is why majority of the time, once the shark lets go it doesn't come back for more. The problem is considering these animals' massive size, one bite can be devastating to a human, which is why people often lose limbs or die.
I cannot even imagine what the families must be feeling and I give them my deepest sympathies, but I do not think the answer is to have a bunch of fisherman trying to kill all kinds of sea life when they have no idea which shark or sharks attacked those men. Isn't bad enough that we lost three men, why do we feel the need to justify their deaths with mindless and needless slaughter of (MOST LIKELY) innocent animals?
Mindless killing is definitely not the answer and most definitely will not "teach those sharks a lesson."

The Real Deal

If you think that I am exaggerating or that I am wrong in the fact that shark finning is a SERIOUS, life-threatening problem to not only sharks, but humans as well take a look at these pictures and tell me what you think.

My Farallon Islands Adventure

Well to all my peeps, in less than a month I will be going on a "Great White Adventure" and visit the Farallon Islands. This is an unheard-of island that is near Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco and it is notorious for having HUNDREDS of Great White Sharks visit there during the months of September-November. It is an alcove of huge, jagged rocks and the Great White Sharks (only species of shark known to go there) enjoy a vast amount of their favorite prey...seals. It is also said that this is where they mate, but no one has actually seen a Great White Shark mate before, so no one can say for sure. In the disclaimer that I had to sign for this trip, it mentioned that I need to be prepared to see Great Whites attacking and killing seals, and to realize that it is a violent, gruesome, bloody death. THAT's the only part that I am worried about on my three-day trip. I can't watch nature shows or Planet Earth documentarys because I will BURST INTO TEARS when I see an animal in pain and being eaten. So I think, if that happens in front of me, I'm gonna have to go to the other side of the boat :) I'll take lots of pictures and video. One question though that has been on my mind as November 4th comes closer, is do sharks make any kind of noise? Like when they burst out of the water with their enormous jaws open, is there a roar, or a growl, or any kind of noise that comes out???? What do you think?
