“To give you some background this picture was taken in Perth as one of many protests which occurred all over Australia to protest the culling of sharks in Australia for safety. Perth in particular wants to use baited nets to lure and catch and kill sharks close to swimming beaches. Many believe this will kill not only large (possibly dangerous) sharks but also smaller sharks that pose no threat to people.”

…”I’ve always found it interesting that prostate, colonic and lung cancers kill more people that breast cancer each year but they never seem to make these lists.
