Not only signed it, but sent the link to everyone I know. That's just bloody barbaric. Someone should put those *******s on a hook and use them for live bait!

But there hadn't been any cats dumb enough to try and swim between the islands, so the shark hadn't developed a taste for cats yet.

port Vila Presse:
The narrow stretch of water between Atchin and Malekula was a busy waterway, and many canoeists had reported seeing a large shark after Alysha was killed. One had seen a dog snapped up as it tried to swim between the islands.

Mrs Moratti said a shark had killed three other people before Alysha's death.
It's not like these guys just randomly came up with the idea of using a dog for bait.
 
Why not use live bait? Live dog, live fish, live....why not. It worked didn't it.

What kind of dog was it. Was it a domesticated dog, or feral. The article doesn't specifically state that the dog was live. Just that a dog was used as bait.

Some cultures eat dog. Should we petition to ban that too?

Domestic dogs and cats gone feral can do considerable damage to a wildlife population, spread disease and pose a risk to humans.

Why kill a shark? it was doing what sharks do. Unfortunately, the residents didn't get the message that those were dangerous waters.

Maybe they caught the shark that committed the killings. Maybe they didn't.

Why no outrage against the senseless revenge killing of a shark?
