    You're right, we shouldn't discuss first hand reports of animals being killed so that a swimmer achieves a record. How silly of us. 3 of a critically endangered species in the area killed. Big deal! /sarcasm I always love the (1) i've done more for conservation than you so your opinion doesn't count (2) I've donated more money than you so your opinion doesn't count (3) millions of sharks are killed a year, what's 3 more? (4) unless you've dedicated your life to wildflife conservation your opinion doesn't count responses It's almost like some people think the issue shouldn't be discussed Anyway, I get a little passionate about these things, having been lucky enough to see them in the wild. I've also been on dive trips where there were absolutely zero sharks, where they thrived before, due to overfishing. But I won't comment further. Either people want the truth or not. To each his or her own
