Comments for Sharkman of Cortez http://sharkmanofcortez.com Where The Old Man of the Sea meets Jaws...

The places named, the facts of activity in both the water and on land with not only the people named but the political games all true, albeit quite understated. You didn't even mention how many T-shirts with "Save the Bales" were made. The fact of the Gulf of Mexico containing the third largest Shark population in the world, mentioned once by a pilot who was flying over the multiple dark clouds in the water. There were several rogues laying about, just feet from the edge of the beach sand too. In a Mondo Cane film, from the 60's, Japanese Fishermen who lost limbs to attacks, collected baskets filled with Sea Urchins, to drop one by one in the greedy mouths of sharks they now fished for on shore. Pushing them back to sea, left to starve and be eaten by their fellow species as karmic reward. As with everything that spoke natural habitat on the keys man has also played greedy games by dredging and building till the once beautiful clear views from the small roads were choked with developments. Blocking the sunset from all but the elite or those who paid for a high rise week in Paradise. I haven't yet mentioned the mistakes in Textbooks that a PhD. pointed out, saying only one word as to who or what was responsible. Now that the world is clearly run by Educated FOOLS, is all the proof I need to know we will all see the consequences. Should we be afraid ? No, but they will. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.

]]> Comment on SHARKS ATTACKING CHILDREN: while Florida Fish and Wildlife declares open season on southern bathers! by Larry http://sharkmanofcortez.com/sharks-attacking-children-while-florida-fish-and-wildlife-declares-open-season-on-southern-bathers/#comment-3779 Larry Sun, 01 Apr 2012 14:02:44 +0000 http://sharkmanofcortez.com/?p=562#comment-3779 Keep catching those critters! Good work! Land dwellers why do you think there are so many fish farms, duh.. the fishermen, or whales and sharks?...think...and a million of those nasty's aren't worth one beautiful human precious life..Some need to learn to love people more and stop admiring and worshiping predator animals like these and also the likes of dangerous snakes and alligators. The dinosaurs are gone and the world keeps turning...maybe we need to bring some of those back too so we can run and hide from them, lol. And again, it shows a lot of good character when one put's peoples lives under some dumb animals. Kill the sharks like the deer sensibly and feed the world preferably, and not with fish farms, who furthered the cause funneling millions to political parties to protect these beasts for their own selfish reasons and put the fisherman back to work creating more jobs and cheaper, healthier seafood at more affordable prices.

BUT IT IS NOT. If asll things are equal you would have to compare those numbers with the total population because we all use the toilet. Then compare that to only those who swim and dive in the ocean. That last part is the thing no one does when they make these crazy comparrisons. like that and lightening. So when you make those "factual" adjustments the odds become frightenly more likely. enough so that even you may not want to go in the water and if you do I bet that thought of an attack is always with you. The issue of mistaken identity is also as crazy to make. Sharks are designed to hunt. to sense, smell and evaluate. They do this by their bite as well. They know they arent biting their normal food source when they bite and they dont care. Nor do they care if they choose not to finish the job and just let you bleed out and die. They are predators. that means anything they can kill and eat they will. Its what they do and what they are designed to do. BUT as global warming was proven to be a hoax so is the receeding shark statements and the misunderstood claims. Your letter, as passionate as it was is still full of naiveity. Passion cant replace common sense and the real facts. This is for “sharkLover”

Through better protection for divers they can have some protection, though better anti-shark measures at beaches would be needed to help surfers, as armour would be too heavy. <a href="http://protectyourself.cc/effective-shark-attack-protection-chain-mail-armour-with-hard-plates/" rel="nofollow">Effective shark attack protection chain mail armour with hard plates</a> is the armour solution for divers. The nets which are used on some Australian beaches, to stop larger sea animals from entering bays have limited effect, but are still valuable.

I had gone out several times with you in 1983 when we worked for Beach Place. I always tell people about the adventures of shark hunting. Thanks Mike Hey Bill,

Sophomoric eco-religion about the ocean being the shark's domain, and their purported ecological role, has precluded culling of these marauding monsters. The scientific literature is clear, however, that elimination of the great/killer sharks would, in fact, have a beneficial effect on most species in the ocean. Indeed, smaller sharks would flourish if the big bullies (Great White, Tiger, Bull) were culled.

Do you remember Bill "Gator" Ervin, Curator of Fishes at SeaWorld in Orlando? He was my boss. And do you remember Gerry and Mary Lou Klay of SharkQuarium in the Florida Keys? You might enjoy my articles about Marineland, Aquatarium and Miami Seaquarium at www.florida-backroads-travel.com. I would have loved to have visited your aquarium, Ocean Life!
