Do you think sharks should be Hunted in the wake of shark attacks in Australia?

Yes or No and some justification

    Only if their population is growing too fast and it isn't. I believe in thinning the herd with animals that are too numerous like rabbits and deer but sharks are imperiled. Off Californias coast are an excess of squid disrupting ecosystems and they need to be eaten. For every sustainably caught animal used for meat, that is one less cow that tramples through virgin and ancient forests.

    Since humans kill more sharks than sharks kill humans, don't you think that humans should be hunted to preserve the balance?

    hell no !

    what would we do if someone came into our home to rob us or attack us? i know what i would be doing id be on the attack!

    its the same for sharks they are in their habitat their home and when something invades that of course they will attack, surfers and swimmers know that this is a risk they are taking and its just wrong for killing nature for what they have to do to feel safe in their habitat!

    NO! If man want to venture into the sharks territory then he does so at his own risk. Why should man kill every thing

    No. If you swim in the ocean then you suffer the risks. Driving a car has resulted in a lot more deaths, but we are prepared to forgoe the risks for the convience of getting somewhere quickly.

    No! Sharks are predators. They need to have food just like we do and it is our fault if we are disturbing them. They don't just kill us because they feel like it they do it for protection and food, just as we defend ourselves if someone tries to take your purse on the street.

    They should not be murdered for being natural.

    No. Humans should be hunted in the wake of rising population.

    Yes. They are a good sporting fish. They also make interesting quarry for underwater hunting with explosive headed spears. Their lives are worth less than human lives.

    No, they were in the ocean first not us, i think it would be smart to set up some boundaries where people should and shouldn't swim to minimize any chance of attack.

    NO!

    they are not doing anything wrong

    just what they have evolved to do.

    humans getting in their way is bound to mean some people get bitten.

    but so be it.

    animals should not be killed for doing what they're designed to do.

    =(
