...is that responsible humans have no choice but to surrender the habitat, to what Kartsounis called “a Jurassic state.” ..snip.. ...

Under concepts like that, Man would have never gained a foothold....

Sounds like the shark attacks are causee by politicians blowing seals

Great White Politicians need their sails trimmed. "Snip..." "Snip..." "Snip"....

"Trump himself, according to his own tweets and the testimony of Stormy Daniels, also seems to have long harboured an intense personal animosity towards sharks."

I think Trump was probably referring to "Lawyers." But, then again, that would be an insult to sharks everywhere.. :)

These opposed opinions are the reason the problem won't get solved.
Mitigation is what the towns are looking for.

Some of the public meetings have gotten so heated, including death threats, some of the Cape Cod towns don't have public hearings anymore and they pay consultants to come up with suggetions.
This fall a hired group will present suggestions for next season. -tom

I am sure these landsharks are figuring out how to sue the towns or State for victims of a shark attack.

The prospect of a monetary reward is a great motivator for us Americans. - Tom

“...swim in clean water.”
Ever heard of a bull shark.


I said “clean water”, not “fresh water”. :)

Like a quality swimming pool...or maybe a hot tub.

“....or maybe a hot tub.”

Hope no idiot producer sees this or there will be a new movie out trying for some type of special effects award about a shark in hot tubs. Better get the copyright first and make some buck on it.

I worked with a person who after seeing "Jaws" told me he used to think about shark attacks when he would take a shower at home.

When a person has an irrational fear of something like sharks, dogs, cats, snakes etc. they can work themselves into unfounded fears. - Tom

Gee...When you take a shower you’re supposed to think about the Hitchcock movie - Psycho!

or the Mel Brooks film - High Anxiety!

When you are my age you worry about slipping in the showier, or slipping on the bathroom floor when you get out.
Be careful!- Tom

Wolves are not a necessity. We did great without them for years. You’re drinking the liberal koolaid.

Oh and a balance of nature is a myth. There is no balance.

Leftover swells from Hurricane Umberto will be coming into the easterly beaches of Cape Cod , Chatham, Orleans, Eastham, Wellfleet Truro, today and tomorrow.

I am not a surfer, but would think this would be a good time to be surfing there.
However, considering it is September. I expect many won't go surfing yet because they will be more worried about themselves being caught by a big one ,than catching the big one. - Tom
