Contrary to popular belief, sharks are NOT endangered. Most of your negative comments come from young, idiotic, liberal American clowns.

Bronze whalers in Nz certainly aren't endangered that's for sure... they are everywhere! (people just don't realise it cos they keep to themselves and DON'T attack people).

What a sorry sport... I'd like to put a hook through your gums/cheek and drag you through water for a while.

Oh but yes I would be 'humane' too and eventually release you.

[kiwifisher]

Considering that fishing is the largest participation sport in the world and more people go fishing than play any other sport, you must resent a lot of people....and that is really sad.

Lighten up and live a little mate. :o)

My point is a) sharks are seriously endangered and b) if you're not going to eat it then feed your ego on some other sport.

I'm not a vegetarian for that matter and have killed and slaughtered for consumption.

And the argument that large numbers of anglers justifies anything is ludicrous. Most don't go for sharks and hey, a hundred years ago humans were up to pretty stupid things in large numbers too. (Slavery, lynching, segregation, women's rights etc.)

[kiwifisher]

Could debate this subject endlessly of course, but I'll just point out that only some shark species are endangered and Bronze whalers aren't one of them. Bronze whalers aren't a commercially targeted species in NZ and they are more prolific all around our coast than people realize.

@DeutscheGesinnung WTF are you on about, where did you get that information from m8?

[mrwitzigwitzig]

@DeutscheGesinnung These are your comments on a historical muslim political movement in South Asia (later Pakistan) on a different website (technologybizzbuzz). I quote you verbatim:

"I don’t blame you Paki fucks. You are already born a cross-dressing faggot anal ass raping dirty monkey shitheads"

"Hey Pakistan, how’s that flood water going for you? Wiping out filthy Muslim pigs is truly a blessing from God"

Shame on you, you childish internet coward.

@kiwifisher The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has assessed the copper shark as Near Threatened worldwide!

You are right in a sense, that around Australia & New Zealand their situation is the least threatened compared to elsewhere. But these are migratory sharks and cannot be seen just from a limited local perspective.

By the way @DeutscheGesinnung. Deutsche Gesinnung is a term used by Hitler & Goebbels & kept alive by neo-Nazis. You want to associate yourself with him?

we watched a guy catch a shark once on omaha beach. he had only just got the rod from a dump and it had no bait on the hook! was quite big and we got to touch it so slimy and for those wondering, yes we did let it go. Really interesting though because the shark had lots of battle wounds all over it.

@mctabla I think you have just watched way too much lion king and finding nemo.
