To all the Sea Shepherd crew, I thank you for this important documentary. The world needs to be aware of the cruelty and ineffectiveness of the cull. I'm humbled by your commitment to protect our world.
Being a mechanical fitter/welder I've spent countless hours on skyscrapers at the Gold Coast QLd and in around Perth, mainly welding/fabricating gangways on the top of these buildings. Looking out from that vantage point you'd see sharks swimming up and down the coast, not bothering the countless people swimming. I was also a volunteer surf lifesaver for near on 20 years & the sharks seen to attack ratio is staggering, we've seen hundreds upon hundreds of sharks over the years and have had 0 attacks in my 20 years. If you counted the amount of people swimming around out coast line each and everyday compared to shark attacks the % is ridiculous!
@Aussie Atheist Thank you for sharing your deeply valuable perspective after 2 decades of real life experience concerning the shark / human interaction dynamic. There are 7 billlion humans on this planet yet the number of shark fatalities / major injuries to humans is tiny. Meanwhile we are killing sharks each year by the 100’s of 1000’s.
@@arizonarider6998 jaws is about as accurate a “FURY” and I could go on about Fury, taking jaws as accurate, informative, or anything more than blatant fear mongering from uninformed Hollywood morons would be a folly
This was extremely heart wrenching and difficult to watch but everyone who put this together deserves nothing but respect. We need footage like this to get out there to educate people and end the ignorance. I genuinely believe that if more people understood what was going on, more would be done.
This makes my stomach sick. This video is VERY hard to watch. I don't know if I should punch a wall or throw up but just sitting here taking all this in....? Thank you Sea Shepherd. You're real human beings. There should be a lot more understanding and a lot less killing in this world.
Hey, if the lady doesn't want to go in the water that's her decision. The oceans are the sharks home and you have no right to kill them because you want to go into their home, just try going into somebody's home without their permission and see what happens to you, I bet you have a better chance of ending up dead going into another humans home then the sharks home.
Growing up I would always watch Steve Irwin and I would think about what a miracle Australia is. I pictured it as the last real safe haven for animals. I saw how they were treated and abused in the western world and thought that with the diversity they tried harder to protect their species. Seeing this just truly saddens me. Australia, you can do so much better!
+Ron Hardesty i am so sorry. i am so ashamed to be western australian. i am reading these comments and my heart is sinking. the public has/had no say whatsoever in the culling of these magnificent creatures. yes, shame on the australian government but i have met no one in australia that supports/supported this brutal and inhumane act.
@sbjkd They did it so it would look like they were doing something about it. Their image. Just because people are fallible doesn't mean they shouldn't be called out for doing something wrong, especially when it is a government who knows better. I think there are better ways than just killing s ton of sharks, which already aren't doing too well. We need to stop being so reactionary about these things and instead educate people about the situation. I'm sure it was a very traumatic experience for all involved, but I don't think it is a good enough reason to kill hundreds of sharks that had nothing to do with the attack.
Thankyou Sea Shepherd!!! If more people knew how important your work is to not only whales but the ocean health in general they would come on board with your philosophy. Love and respect for all you do from Canada. ❤
@george wood what shark is a man eater? And if it is why is that bad? I refuse to stop eating stake and chips, sausage and mash, so if a shark catches me so be it, hopefully I'll never put myself in such a position.
Being attacked by a Shark (primarily thanks to Jaws), has always been my worst nightmare. I can't imagine anything more frightening. It is a strange thing to feel such compassion for them...but I do. Seeing the sharks sink to the ocean floor is just the saddest thing; it's like watching humans commit assault on planet earth in the most savage and ignorant way. Thank you, Sea Shepard Folks, for the brave and important work you do!!
I cried my eyes out...wtf? Thanks to those who swam with the shark over 90 mins until he got better and swam by itself and didn't die. Xxxx from Canada 🇨🇦
It's just horrible and not right. I hope the people who do this every day fare the same as the animals. You are just too important to this world. This world does not belong to humans but to animals. Thank you for this documentation and information. I'm very grateful
Sea shepherd are the eyes of the suffering of nature in the oceans, compassion breeds contempt, contempt breads condemnation, condemnation breeds awareness, awareness breeds action, action breeds change! And change we must!
what these people will do for money is disgusting - killing sharks... and the way it is done is cowardice. We as people have no right to kill these magnificent creatures in there home...
Rage, I felt the same way. After about 20 min of not being able to look at the tv made me decide to turn it off. However, just like you I support the cause fully. 👍
We need stronger globally accountable laws that condem the killing of any animal and consider it a crime.. I’ve cried at every video I’ve seen. Just discovered The Sea Sheppard this month. I’m all onboard. Fundraising possibly
Wow 😳 you guys give us so much good information but it’s so sad how animals are treated. Ugh 🤦🏻♀️ I can’t believe it! And I would never know if you guys did not document it. Thank you all for everything you do.
Also Sea Shepard you are Angel's of the sea & while the government make me feel ashamed to be australian, people like you all make me proud to be one.. thank you.
The concept of how to not end up as shark bait is really quite simple. You simply stay out of their habitat. See how simple that is? Honestly though, go for a dip in the ocean if it's worth life and limb to you, but remember, when you're in the jaws of the beast, only blame yourself. The shark didn't grow legs and walk into your habitat, you went into their habitat.
Beyond heartbreaking, people need to be more educated about sharks 🦈 ❤they are not man eaters. We, as humans, are the killers we ruin our beautiful plant day by day. The government do not care about rainforest trees marine life. Our wildlife will sadly disappear because of selfish, greedy humans who do not care. This beyond cruel. What they are doing to our beautiful sharks genocide against sharks is what this is. Please, we must stop this. Imagine tomorrow morning you wake up to no trees, no birds, no wildlife, no ocean, no marine life, Imagine that!
Humans don't need to enter the sharks environment. We do so for pleasure and leisure activitites not for neccessitiy. This programme shows why humans have no ability to protect the eco systems of the world. We will one day totally destroy our own living environment, lets hope people of the future protect whats really important.
I went to that rally at Cottesloe Beach! Very disappointing how we weren't heard. What do you think about 'SMART (Shark Management Alert in Real Time) drumlines our government is now going to use? I still don't believe we've been heard.
I cried seeing those pictures. I cried for feeling hurt of how people treat this animals. I wish i could scream the pain out these sharks had. I want to hit the desk with my head because many humans fail in their decisions... but then theres you. People who do incredible valueable acts of kindness and understanding that we are not different species fighting for territory, but species that work together as one system, to keep each other alive. When i saw the the divers accompany the tiger shark my heart felt warm and i was like 'thats how it should be.' Thats the world i want to live in. And i thank everybody who works so hard for information, awareness and protection. May the spirits of the sharks be with you, and protect you whereever you go.
When I saw the length of this video I honestly didn't think I would watch it all but I was so into time just flew and when it ended I was like, wait what it's over!
I balled my eyes out through this whole doco... it discussted me to know our government was ok & on board with such barbaric ideas and way of thinking... it really is appalling, & it isn't from lack of knowing any better because they are well aware that every marine animal it just as important as the other in order to exist.. it's just not good enough. ...
Heart wrenching. Absolutely disgusting. I want to be apart of saving these sharks someday, i want to make sure this bullshit can end once and for all!!!!!
these are apex predators and when we as humans enter THEIR domains WE are at their mercy, I sincerely hope that the goverments of the world wake up and realize this. this type of behavior on the goverments part is truly abhorrent
Its so disgusting that people out there think this is okay. If I ever got attacked by a shark or killed by one I would NEVER EVER EEVVVVEERRR want people to go out and kill it. You take the risk by stepping into the ocean yet are mad when you come across and are attacked: that makes no sense. Someone at my work the other night said they do this to prevent people and children from being hurt or killed. To that I say: if you dont want to be hurt or killed DONT GO IN THE FUCKING OCEAN! So simple. But no you take the risk and need to take responsibility for that if something does happen. Human beings are so selfish and self centered. We think everything on this earth belongs to us when it doesnt. Sharks have been around much longer then people have and dont deserve to die bc some fucker decided to step into its home.
This is so disgusting. I feel awful that all you can legally do is film. I sincerely hope you guys can find a legal workaround and put an end to this mess. To those brave hearts that swam the shark near the end back to life, you have no idea what beautiful people you are. Please do not ever stop being you. Best of luck on the other operations.
Just shows that when informed individuals come together as groups with like minded goals what we can achieve. Congratulations. Shark finning needs banned now
As a mainland English guy this is massive news to me, we always hear such good things over here about the Australian Government and the love of the Australian people for their wildlife. Is this cull still ongoing? I cant find anything past 2014 although i read it was going on a 3 year trial.
A damn disgrace the culling of sharks in Western Australia ,thought the Aussies were better than that, the ocean belongs to the marine creatures that live there it doesn't belong to us.
Steve Irwin taught us all one thing , every animal has a right to be here . Just like we as humans do , it’s our job to preserve and protect it . When will they learn .. Great job guys keep it up !
HI my name is Kasey and I just wanted to say to the Sea Shepard thank you guys so very much you guys are really beautiful, brave humans and there is very few like you guys out there in this messed up world so thank you guys so very much because these sea animals are so beautiful and amazing and I wish more people in the world would realize how important the sharks and the whales,fish ext. thank you Sea Shepard
It's unbelievable that this happened in 2013 In 2007 I learned from a CHILDRENS' BOOK that sharks aren't as dangerous as hollywood portrays. This is stuff that should be basic and wide spread knowledge and it's incomprehensible how a government that has so many advisors and experts at their disposal could come to such a ludicrous and cruel decision
I don't no how the local council governments work in the areas of the cull work , but these seem to me are the ones who are scared of losing there wealthy lifestyles if tourism is affected by a shark attack , it all boils down to money not the safety of swimmers,suffers etc ... Well done to the SEA SHEPHERD CREW keep up the good work , a heart breaking documentary but needed to be brought to the attention of the world ....
Solution is to put out thick wire gauze netting barriers that stop sharks, but do not trap or kill everything like fishing nets do. Think of the mesh used in a security fence. Nothing gets caught in it but it stops everything.
Culling sharks does nothing other than further damage an already damaged ecosystem. I thought this had stopped. When I was a child (now 71) growing up in Brownsville, Texas every time a shark attack occurred there was a cull. We’d go to the beach and every bubba with a boat was out shooting or setting off dynamite. Dead fish washed ashore by the hundreds. Thousands must have been killed. I was blessed with a father who taught me to love all creatures, even the less “pretty” ones including sharks. When the culling took place I begged him to make it stop. One of the few times I saw him cry. The other two times I’d sustained a severe burn and I had begged him to release a poor gear in tiny cage at a roadside attraction in Arizona. I’m crying for the sharks now.
We are all God's creation and we all got the right to live on this planet- if you love animals then let them live the way they where created to live- live and let live and show respect for all of creations
36:57 onwards is how a shark encounter can also look like! Sharks need to swim all the time to have water flowing through their gills. If they can not swim they will drown because they get no oxygen without the permanent flow of new water through their mouth and their gills.
Exactly that diver dude said it all. It's not just there sharks they are the world's sharks. Just because they are swimming in you're water at that time does not mean you have the right to kill them. They should put up signs saying enter at you're own risk if you get a bite or killed it's you're own fault.
Shark over fishing is due to the fin trades which are mostly in places like Hong Kong, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, China, S. Korea, etc. The very expensive shark fin tastes like plain noodle, or pasta. Sea Shepherd should use their resources to stop the fin TRADES, whale meat trades, etc. by political lobbying (the most powerful tool) and insert governmental pressure from UN. Sailing on ships and boats to harass the fishing vessels is romantic like pirates, but very inefficiently STUPID. Also are those people dress up like seals to trespass the shark hunting areas, who are even more stupid.
Good on yu Sea Shepherd. So in awe of people like yourselves and the lady in the film. Sharon Burden, what an amazing and enlightening lady. Sounds a lot like my mum. Just heard today the Japanese are finally pulling out of Antarctica for there home waters. Count me in. Kind regards. Robert.
Watching this documentary restores my faith in humanity, people who are willing to defend the other inhabitants of our beautiful and unique planet. Damn the greedy unhelpful materialists of our Earth who see these and other animals merely as resources.
This is the kind of thing that Sea Shepherd should be doing more of, instead of attacking the Faroe Islanders, Natives, Iceland, Norway or Japan sustainable hunting and eating whales. Can you people tell the difference? Here in AUS, they are pointless murdering Sharks, leaving their carcasses to rot, all out of an irrational fear.
The thing is the makers of jaws(Peter Benchly) never intended the public to think of sharks that way. He has made many books about sharks. #SaveOurSharks
When will we grow up? We now stand at the crossroads, we eaither address our treatment of species, both our own and other and acknowledge that all life is deserved of respect or we plunge into the abyss, having created it and leading all others into it! More power to all who do not just speak of such injustice's but strike out and enact change.
To all of sea shepherd: never loose faith and keep doing what you do. You guys are great!

share, Share, SHARE! :)
Japan seems to come up again and again.
36:57 onwards is how a shark encounter can also look like!
Sharks need to swim all the time to have water flowing through their gills. If they can not swim they will drown because they get no oxygen without the permanent flow of new water through their mouth and their gills.
When those sharks walk onto the beach and bite someone then worry, in the meantime.....stay out of their habitat and leave them alone
Exactly that diver dude said it all. It's not just there sharks they are the world's sharks. Just because they are swimming in you're water at that time does not mean you have the right to kill them. They should put up signs saying enter at you're own risk if you get a bite or killed it's you're own fault.
HAIL TO THE SEA SHEPPARD
Shark over fishing is due to the fin trades which are mostly in places like Hong Kong, Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, China, S. Korea, etc. The very expensive shark fin tastes like plain noodle, or pasta. Sea Shepherd should use their resources to stop the fin TRADES, whale meat trades, etc. by political lobbying (the most powerful tool) and insert governmental pressure from UN. Sailing on ships and boats to harass the fishing vessels is romantic like pirates, but very inefficiently STUPID.
Also are those people dress up like seals to trespass the shark hunting areas, who are even more stupid.
This just shows how ignaront any government is...
Good on yu Sea Shepherd. So in awe of people like yourselves and the lady in the film. Sharon Burden, what an amazing and enlightening lady. Sounds a lot like my mum.
Just heard today the Japanese are finally pulling out of Antarctica for there home waters. Count me in.
Kind regards.

Watching this documentary restores my faith in humanity, people who are willing to defend the other inhabitants of our beautiful and unique planet.
Damn the greedy unhelpful materialists of our Earth who see these and other animals merely as resources.
How did this play out w/ Australian media? Did Australian taxpayers & govt. politicians get to view this film?
This is the kind of thing that Sea Shepherd should be doing more of, instead of attacking the Faroe Islanders, Natives, Iceland, Norway or Japan sustainable hunting and eating whales. Can you people tell the difference? Here in AUS, they are pointless murdering Sharks, leaving their carcasses to rot, all out of an irrational fear.
The thing is the makers of jaws(Peter Benchly) never intended the public to think of sharks that way. He has made many books about sharks. #SaveOurSharks
?????
Sea shepherd you are the best salute your work 🙏🙏. Never give up
When will we grow up? We now stand at the crossroads, we eaither address our treatment of species, both our own and other and acknowledge that all life is deserved of respect or we plunge into the abyss, having created it and leading all others into it!
More power to all who do not just speak of such injustice's but strike out and enact change.
thanks for risking your lifes. Can you please put out the email address of the government official to contact?

Australians should sign a petition and stop paying taxes if those go where people aren't happy with.
The Australian government should be ashamed of their selves for letting this cruel killing a beautiful animal who isn't bothering anyone
.
The creators of JAWS never meant anything toward sharks. Just so you know.
