It will give you an idea of why I say the White shark problem in Massachusetts is unsolvable as long as the seals and sharks are Federally protected. - Tom
Sounds like the shark attacks are causee by politicians blowing seals
I need to read it later and will comment again but this is so like the apex predator battles on land!! Fascinating. Back later...
Sharks are culling the demonrats.
Frame it that way and AOC and the rest of the squad will be out there immediately and clubbing the cute little baby seals themselves.
Lots of sharks on the Cape now. Lefties see that as ‘great.’ Human victims not so much.
Like mass shootings....
Uhhh. I doubt it.
Sounds like the wolf and mountain lion popuations in the west. Environmentalists make humans and cows lunch or dinner for them and the enviro-kooks set acceptable human losses. The livestock loss to wolves is huge.
[[In Cape Cod, right-wing demagogues are using the politics of fear to demand a mass cull of sharks and seals.]]
I’m more for culling ticks- mass culling- DDT- Now in Mass- saw last night mosquitos are carryign EEE (Equine encephalitis) and infecting people quite a bit now- they are startign to spray for them again-
We used to spray but enviros stopped it- and mosquitos erupted- making summer pretty miserable- (not to mention the black flies- deer flies etc)
but the tick issue is bad- and getting much worse- many many folks are getting infected- compare that to the number of folks getting attacked by sharks- the numbers aren’t even close- There is a tick epidemic sweeping the US- and noone seems to be up in arms about it even though it is completely ruining many people’s lives/health
You don’t have to cull sharks if you take away their food source. Honestly seals stink. They are nasty and I think as a sign of frendship and good faith, we eradicate the seals there, process the meat and fur and send it all to Greenland with a note, “from your future peps, with love The US” . Sharks leave cuz sir ain’t no food. Greenland loves us, because nothing says love like seal meat, making it safe to go back into the water and Greenland to love us again!
There is so much we can learn from Great White Sharks.
They invented television.
On the other hand, the amount of shark and seal reduction necessary to “resolve” the trouble seems excessive.
I’ll limit the ocean excursions to wading, and if I want to swim, swim in clean water.
I think the idea of a seal and shark cull is absurd.
It’s the sea. Leave it alone and be damn glad that much life still thrives in it.
There is nearly no life right along the coast of much of South Asia, and what’s there is toxic and/or dying out. There are similar brown-outs in places along the US Gulf coast.
Sometimes good husbandry is to just leave it the eff alone.
Really? --- but you're spot on.

You don't have a shark problem,you have a government problem.
I bet things would change in an instant if Sasha or Malaria Obola were shark attacked in the surf at Martha’s Vineyard.
I like sharks better than Democrats.
It’s all liberals liberals up
there I. Boston and assachtes. so let them have their problems
Environmentalists caused the whole problem by adding shark food (seals, otters and sea lions) to the protected list - now there are more of them than ever before - and more sharks then ever before.
I’m good with letting sharks cull the liberal herd, so there’s that. Of course the problem is that the occasional non-liberal will be eaten as well, so that complicates the picture.
SoCal is now having this same problem. After maybe 100 years of having shark-free beaches, Great Whites began to show up like the homeless do on our streets. We have had three bad shark attacks since maybe 2015. No deaths, but really bad injuries. Shark Lives Matter. Yours don’t.
