A woman has been killed by a shark off the west coast of Australia, the second such death there in less than a week.

Police say she was diving in waters near the city of Perth with a man when she was attacked.

it is amazing to me how Australians , or people anywhere that there is confirmed aggressive shark activity going on , continue to go into the ocean as if no danger is present .How great is their obsession with entering the domain of non terrestrial creatures ? How oblivious to the fact that when white sharks are involved we are part of their food resources . It's like intentionally going for a walk in the Sundarbans forest knowing it is infested with tigers that eat humans . Why go diving 2.5 kms off the coast when you know whiteys are around ? It's insane

The west coast of Australia has become quite dangerous in recent years.

Australia needs to ban sharks.

Great White Sharks are protected. If they are not hunted or caught by fishermen, there is going to be a lot
more sharks! Duh!

Simply install signs declaring “SHARK FREE ZONES”. Or maybe, just maybe, it’s because of glow bull warming.

We’d only need to exterminate four or five species of sharks and there would never be another attack on a human. There would still be 295 species of the ****ing things for “scientists” to “study”......

Haha - calm down - more people are killed by dogs than Great Whites

Dogshark.

These folks are sure doing their part in culling the herds. 5,000-10,000 shark fins on roof drying, for soup.

“Simply install signs declaring “SHARK FREE ZONES”.”

This could work!

[RegulatorCountry]

Wow, I bet the breeze around there is pungent.

[Cementjungle]

Sharks are angry about climate change.

[RegulatorCountry]

I’d understood that many Australian public beaches have shark fencing to keep them out and protect swimmers, but you were on your own outside of those.

[Iron head mike]

Their not black assult sharks so they should be ok

[US_MilitaryRules]

That is against the law now. Sharks have to be brought in with all their fins intact. And they still can’t sell them. At least in the US. There is probably not one White Shark fin there.

PS. It must smell lovely around there! lol

[LeoWindhorse]

willful suspension of reasonable cautions

[samtheman]

Environmentalists value beasts over humans.

[Rockpile]

Sharks were peaceful vegetarians until manmade globull warming
forced them to organize their communities to attack other creatures.

[Carriage Hill]

Heh, can you imagine the swarms of flies hovering over that roof? Whew!
