Leave the sharks alone. If I get nibbled by a shark I will have to accept that I chose to enter their domain. I accept that I do not have 'control' over the situation.Yes, it could be viewed as gambling with life, but realistically we all do this every time we venture outside the front door. I am not making light of the pain suffered by those who have lost someone because of an attack or have been injured by a shark, but at the end of the day we all have a pretty simple choice. Surf and accept the risk/relinquish control or don't surf and retain control/find something else to do.Nothing good ever comes from a 'kneejerk' reaction to a situation.

Fair call.
However i would hardly call it a 'kneejerk' reaction. It's not like we have only had a couple of attacks...
