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.
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.
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.
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. ❤
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!!
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.
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!
@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.
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
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
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. 👍
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...
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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
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.
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!!!!!
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.
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.
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. ...
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.
Just shows that when informed individuals come together as groups with like minded goals what we can achieve. Congratulations. Shark finning needs banned now
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
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.
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.
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
"Dad, are you really on youtube? "Yes"" "Oh really, thats cool! When was it recorded, 90s, 80s?" " Well, it was 21st century" " Really? What is the video about?" "Daddy is killing sharks." " What...but...but why?" "They payed dady to kill them. Are you proud my child?"
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.
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.
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 ....
Hold on a minute... they want to reduce the amount of sharks but they are catching sharks killing them and throwing them back bleeding which is going to attract even more sharks?
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
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 !
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.
Suggestions: This might be very dangerous, with baited lines in the water, but have a dive team with rebreathers on, go from bait hook to bait hook and take the bait off of each hook. Every once in a while, cut the line of the hook, making it look like the line got cut by the shark. Another option would be to run a submarine drone to each hook, cutting each one off and collecting them and return them to your ship, undetected. Destroy the evidence, sinking the empty hooks. People need to not swim or surf in shark infested waters.
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.
Compared to the ever increasing numbers of people going into the oceans annually, shark attacks are very rare. A few people are killed every year, but compared to the numbers of sharks it's very rare. More people are killed by cars in a single day than those killed by sharks in 5yrs. Yet, we don't stop driving, we don't even lower speed limits, so why attack something living in it's own space doing what it's created to do. If you're worried about being attacked, don't go in the ocean, problem solved, but don't kill animals out of fear.
If we had a tally board for how many sharks kill people vs how many people kill sharks. It would be laughable to see the argument what the most dangerous creature on earth is. Live and let live.
These actions are every bit as bad as the fining industry. Disgusting to think drum lines were the best solution a government could offer. Truly barbaric.
To all of sea shepherd: never loose faith and keep doing what you do. You guys are great!
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.

Really. So you live in the woods and dont kill any poisonous snakes? Because the ground is their habitat. Why should you be able to kill them?
What about those “land sharks,” that are going around?

TomaHawk36 me too. we're getting worse and worse as a species.
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
"Dad, are you really on youtube?
"Yes""
"Oh really, thats cool! When was it recorded, 90s, 80s?"
" Well, it was 21st century"
" Really? What is the video about?"
"Daddy is killing sharks."
" What...but...but why?"
"They payed dady to kill them. Are you proud my child?"
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.
Its great to see them rescueing the sharks
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.
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 ....
I can't even watch this. These scenes are so sad. I love sharks :(
Cartoon Songs me too
This just shows how ignaront any government is...
Thank you people for your hard work
Hold on a minute... they want to reduce the amount of sharks but they are catching sharks killing them and throwing them back bleeding which is going to attract even more sharks?
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
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 !
thanks for risking your lifes. Can you please put out the email address of the government official to contact?

The Australian government should be ashamed of their selves for letting this cruel killing a beautiful animal who isn't bothering anyone
.
Australians should sign a petition and stop paying taxes if those go where people aren't happy with.
share, Share, SHARE! :)
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.
Suggestions:
This might be very dangerous, with baited lines in the water, but have a dive team with rebreathers on, go from bait hook to bait hook and take the bait off of each hook. Every once in a while, cut the line of the hook, making it look like the line got cut by the shark.
Another option would be to run a submarine drone to each hook, cutting each one off and collecting them and return them to your ship, undetected. Destroy the evidence, sinking the empty hooks.
People need to not swim or surf in shark infested waters.
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.
Well what would you suggest?
Compared to the ever increasing numbers of people going into the oceans annually, shark attacks are very rare. A few people are killed every year, but compared to the numbers of sharks it's very rare. More people are killed by cars in a single day than those killed by sharks in 5yrs. Yet, we don't stop driving, we don't even lower speed limits, so why attack something living in it's own space doing what it's created to do. If you're worried about being attacked, don't go in the ocean, problem solved, but don't kill animals out of fear.
If we had a tally board for how many sharks kill people vs how many people kill sharks. It would be laughable to see the argument what the most dangerous creature on earth is. Live and let live.
These actions are every bit as bad as the fining industry. Disgusting to think drum lines were the best solution a government could offer. Truly barbaric.
The creators of JAWS never meant anything toward sharks. Just so you know.
