This Guy Bickering With A Shark Is The Most Australian Thing Ever

May 20, 2017 International News

There are a whole bunch of animals out there that if I came up against them in the wild, I would just let them do whatever they wanted as there would be absolutely no way I would be beating them at anything. That’s the law of the jungle baby and number one on that list of animals is probably a shark. Those vicious fuckers will kill you without a second thought by ripping off your body parts so there’s no way I would want to mess with them if I ever met one. I’m not an Australian fisherman though. The guy in the video below got involved in a tug of war with a shark over his fishing net and let’s just put it this way – there was no way he was going to lose that fishing net: Click here to watch the video!

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet

It took me a while to decide how to most accurately describe the situation that has been visited upon the New England fishing communities that are and since colonial times have been dependent on the groundfish fisheries.

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing. Hence the term “overfished.” Hence the mandated knee jerk reaction of the fisheries managers to not enough fish; cut back on fishing. What of other factors? They don’t count. It’s all about fishing, because fishing is all that the managers can control; it’s their Maslow’s Hammer. When it comes to the oceans it seems as if it’s about all that the industry connected mega-foundations that support the anti-fishing ENGOs with hundreds of millions of dollars a year in “donations” are interested in controlling.
