Alcina if you do find who letters can be written to in regards to querying the "catch & kill" method of finding "the culprit" would you please post it here.

I just read an article in the Sydney Morning Herald; here's an excerpt:

"The deaths of two men from shark attacks in Gold Coast canals within the past seven weeks may be linked to the drought.

Tony Ham, the manager of Queensland's shark control program, said the canals are "teeming" with hundreds of bull sharks.

He said the drought meant less fresh water was running into the canals, making them saltier. This led to greater numbers of saltwater fish, followed by the sharks, entering the canals from the ocean and moving further upstream."


For those that don't know, most of Australia is suffering drought, animals and crops are dying left right and centre, and now its claimed that the increase in salt concentration is attracting the Bull Shark's major food sources into the shallow canals. Hence more sharks hence more attacks.

I just wish they didn't have to go to such barbaric lengths to satisfy the public.
