- I can't believe the State is finally sacntioning these kills. Shows you
- what the tourist industry can do for you. The 'experts' need to ask themselves
- what are the realisitic chances of killing the sharks responsible for the recent
- attacks on the bodyboarder and surfer. People need to share the ocean and not
- dominate it. When you dive, surf, etc, you have to accept the risks that go
- along with it, IMO.
