#1 'You could see Brad trying to whack at them to keep them away. We were shouting out, "Swim for your life, mate! Swim for your life!"

it in kind of hard swim with no legs. they are shuldnt kill the sharks. first how are they know they killing the right one? if you are go in the sharks teritory you shuld know you risk you life. ima place the blame the surfer. the sharks arent wander onto the land did they?

#2 I'm with muck4doo on this one. Unless the sharks are edible, they should be left alone.

#5 My mom and dad winter in FLA. They were on the beach near St. Armand's Square in Sarasota.

Mom was eating a hot dog, 1 bird attacked her by hitting her on her head and another swooped in to try to get the hot dog, but she held onto it.

They figured it out, why wouldn't sharks?

#6 boo hoo fuking hoo. they are can still go to the beach. they are just have to know there risks. the box jellyfish is kill more peples on australian beaches than sharks. are you going kill all the animals in the ocean just so you are can go swimming? are you kill all the polar and kodiak bears in alaska so it is make safer hiking? that in not right. why arent we kill all the gators in florida to.

#16 Australia's missing the big picture.Leave the sharks alone and simply advertise,X-TREME SURFING.The idiots will still surf,the bloodthirst crowd will fill the beaches to see if sharks believe in catch-and-release.PETA would probably still protest,demanding the boards be edible,but you can't please everyone.

#20 During the original "Jaws" movie, my brother's friend shouted "I'm not half the man I used to be!" when Quint gets bitten in half. Sorry it happened to an Aussie, though. Here's my reverse Michael Moore impression -- Why did these sharks attack an Australian ally? Don't they know that the French are the perfidous @ssholes who didn't support us in Iraq and elsewhere?
