the comments above worrying about the sharks that have just killed 3 human beings make me sick to my stomach. what the hell is wrong with you idiots!!!! human beings are more important than a damn shark!! wake the hell up!!! we need nets up now to protect our surfing beaches like they have in the rest of the world–south africa, australia, hong kong etc. wake up!!!! 76 per cent of all shark attacks are against surfers and 98 per cent of those are from great whites on the pacific coast richard fawell

there is no way they will catch the shark, by the time they even started lookin it was hundreds of miles away. why do we venture so easily into the oceans where we know the most powerful, perfect predators live with out the slightest care in the world. we dont go into a jungle without takin precautions. and why are we blaming and slaughtering animals for doing exactly what God put them on this planet to do- survive. no one has any right 2 blame this animal. the humans took the risk of going into another predators domain and that therefor made them fair game. thats the risk every person takes getting into the oceans. people are so ignorant..

Killing the sharks of the are will only worsen the situation, I am surprised still some people believe this is the answer.

Mexican authorities have actually tempered their response to the two recent attacks and are not hunting sharks now. They’ve been spotting from boats and helicopters and are doing a catch and release to determine the species of sharks in the area. Seems like a better response than haphazardly hunting and killing sharks.

I live in a costal town in Mexico called Lazaro Cardenas, close to the spots where now 5 people have been attacked in the last fortnight. The people here a so scared none of my mates will paddle out with me anymore! I agree with Robert, survival of the fittest! What has a shark got that it can offer you? except death or medical bills? I beileve this is a reasonable way to restore saftey to these waters once again.

This just opens up more water for more larger sharks to look for smaller prey to eat.

Seeing as all the smaller sharks are being killed, surfers look like a good meal.

Good going sh&t heads !!!

When humans off-balance the natural balance of the eco-system, we all suffer.

Maybe someone should look into why sharks were searching for food where they haven’t in years.

Maybe overfishing needs to be stopped.

I think that this is uncalled for. We are slowing killing off their food source and we are taking away their environments, building shipping yards and dumping in the ocean. Then we expect them to starve to death, then they mistake a human for food, and we damn them all to death, to me the victims are the sharks. I really wish humans would realize what they are doing before it is to late.

[...] Mexican Authorities responded to the last attack a month ago by baiting and killing sharks in the area. Environmentalist deplored the tactics [link]. [...]
