Not again, another terrible start to the swimming season.

For more information here is the link:

More information has been released this afternoon. the 21 year old was diving at Amity Island (which I have never heard of, but doesn't that one sound familiar). Onlookers are claiming that there was three sharks that attacked the woman. How frightening is that, so much for the continued theory by greenies that they don't hunt in packs. This is the second time in the last twelve months that this has happened.

Fishermen in the area think that they are Bull Sharks because of the ferocity of the attack. :twisted:

Is this the video like the one on Yahoo news? I saw the headline on Yahoo news about some clips they have about a woman who got killed by some sharks. I haven't had the gut to watch it yet... :cry:

No Lenny this is just a news article about more sharks being spotted at Tasmania the same day that the woman was killed in Queensland. :(

The media is having a 'feeding frenzy' about the shark situation. Everyday there are more reports of sharks being spotted off beaches in Sydney and the South Coast (Jervis Bay). Jervis Bay has always been a well known territory for sharks (the water is always really cold).

The sad thing is that it will frighten people from swimming this season. I have already seen the affect that this blanket coverage has had on small children. :roll:

Hopefully it will spur Aussies to throw out all those shark shaggers who speak for the protection of sharks. Tar and feather them!!!
