It wont cost a dime, just take all the stupid protection laws away.

No, you actually want to embark on a mission to ELIMINATE them. Why would people who are not being paid with a motive by the government, working independently, even WANT to wipe out sharks? That's a dead end, because once you've wiped them out, guess what...THEY'RE GONE. Then a self-contained industry that becomes dependent on shark-hunting has now crashed. Economic funk.

You'll never get them all, they will just be rare...

They're already that way. Mission accomplished.

They do nothing that people cant do just fine without them.

Of course, I've already made a commment on how badly a shark extinction would damage the fishing industry (due to the inevitable seal population explosion). We could try to keep the seal population down, but no matter what, we're going to take an economic hit. One that is needless anyway. It's a very good idea to try to avoid economic problems.

Anything that isn't good eating, that is eating things that people do eat, serves no useful purpose.

Actually, Great White Sharks don't eat things that we eat. Humans typically eat various types of fish and crusteaceons. GWS normally dine on seals and sea lions, and maybe an occasional sea gull. (when was the last time you ate an elephant seal?). TIGER SHARKS eat GARBAGE, for crying out loud!

But I'm confused over your mentality. ALL things that serve no "good" should be eliminated. ALL OF THEM??? BTW, what does "good" even mean? What GREATER PURPOSE/GOOD are you even talking about? It's completely relative.

Suppose someone who lives a few doors down has a baby. That baby serves you no purpose. It means nothing to you. So are you actively going to go KILL the baby, just because it serves you no purpose? I'm not comparing sharks to babies, but that's where your mentality is headed. You want to WIPE OUT ALL things that don't serve your purpose?

Again, good luck with that.
