It’s no wonder shark populations are dwindling. If the Chinese aren’t destroying them for their so-called “precious” soup, the Australian’s are hunting them because they are bored.

“High-rise Hunters”, as they call themselves are catching Bull sharks by the dozens in their own backyards. Queensland, in the south east area of Australia is the fastest growing region in the country. It boasts hundreds of miles of waterways that snake through the Gold Coast, and apartment blocks and villas often back on to the water.

Bull sharks are comfortable in both sea water and fresh or brackish water.

With so many sharks traveling up the river systems in the area, and the population explosion, the inevitable was bound to happen. What always happens when man takes over a new territory? Yup, man doesn’t share anything. The environment and the wildlife always suffer.

These self proclaimed “High-rise Hunters” have been catching bull sharks from their condo balconies and their back yards. One wanna-be shark hunting Rambo type proclaimed, “”We sit in the lounge room with the rods set up and play the PlayStation, waiting for the bites.” Another turd described his average evening this way; “I bait my line with chopped-up eel, fix it to a pontoon at the back of my garden and retreat to my living room to watch DVDs. When I hear the sound of the line playing out, I sprint down to grab the rod.” He then goes on to say,” My mum doesn’t like it much because I keep breaking things as I run through the living room to the jetty.”

Get a life people. If you’ve got a problem with the sharks in your backyard, maybe you shouldn’t have moved to the territory!

Sharks have inhabited this earth for millions of years. Man has been around for a fraction of the time. But in this short time span, we have somehow evolved to be the bully of the sandbox. Man has got it into it’s head that we and animals cannot share this planet, so we destroy what we don’t understand, or what it considers an “inconvenience”.
