Congratulations Jim Abernethy, you put the demon back in the shark...GB - AOW / Marine BiologistMarch 11, 2008 at 10:38:58Congratulations Jim.
You and the underwater image touts masquerading as shark conservationists have just set back legitimate work by the scientific community to protect sharks by decades. Manipulating and provoking sharks with bait to do what nature did not design them to do — swim in close proximity to humans — increases the probability that your customers will get shark images they can sell. It also substantially increases the risk that people will become shark bite victims and sharks will become shark finner victims. Your offshore shark feeding business put the demon back in the shark when Markus Groh died after one of your "kinder and gentler" sharks attacked and killed him. That's exactly what those of us who really are working to save sharks do NOT need.
