By John Mikkelsen, published 21/9/2023

Where are equal rights when it comes to some of the wildlife which shares our great country?

Never go into the sea myself. But people who do are entitled not to be killed by sharks.

All sharks, all dangerous-to-human animals should be removed. Protecting them is the idea of insane people.

Dear Ttbn,

And who are you expecting to give you that unnatural (and impossible) "right" to not be killed? Government?
They are the biggest sharks who bite many more millions of people than these poor sea creatures which you want dead.

People will go wherever they can but most of them demand to be able to do so in absolute safety !
The mentality of adventure has been bred out & all we have now are thrill seekers who demand others sacrifice their time & effort for them & their safety !
If a naturally dangerous predatory animal becomes a stalker of humans then well, what else other than killing it can be done to limit the danger. Those people who encourage crocodiles to jump for food in the presence of humans are literally teaching the animals to associate boats & humans with readily available food !
Yes, crocodile do leap out of the water naturally but now they're conditioned to not fear boats anymore ! This puts humans into far more danger than they would otherwise be exposed to.

The beauty of a shark attack is the victim will bleed out and die quickly.

Isn’t Mother Nature beautiful.

Some people are quite deranged when it comes to animals. There is now a plan for a 315,000 hectare 'Great Koala Park' in the Coffs Coast Region.

Why? "Koalas are officially endangered"; (untrue) "Most NSW koalas live outside of protected areas"; (their choice) "The park will benefit hundreds of species"; (proof?) "It will help protect us from global heating"; (BS!), and "It will bring more ecotourism to the area"; (again proof?: probably comes from economic illiteracy, desperation for more taxpayers' money, ignorance of human behaviour).

There's a list of 'whys' on the website, each of which is opinion rather than fact.

Koalas are an irruptive species in absolutely no danger of extinction and in no need of protection. They are actually intruding into areas they never lived in before. And, they are victims of virtue-signalling nitwits trying to 'save' them. Indicative of the motives of this group is one of their number who told an enquiry that, "We need a lot of money".

OK. Sharks are not cuddly koalas. But people who get hysterical about animals - because they are not very good with fellow humans - are all the same: a real pain in the bum; real nuisances and leeches on the public purse.

Agree with most of this. As for Fraser Island dingoes, should be a catch, relocate and release program before culling. There are wild places where they would help the feral cat problem.

Hungry wild dogs are always aggressive and starving ones are killers. We need to kill some crocs that are invading new territory, and that end, gun laws need to be reformed.

There's a place for snakes that never ever includes suburbia. You need to go into their territory, remember to wear gumboots.
