This is absolutely short-sighted and ridiculous. As short-sighted and ridiculous as comments such as:
"It's a shame the french aren't a little smarter than this. It's also unfortunate that this probably won't get the attention necessary to embarrass them enough to dissuade them."Trust me for it, I'm French!
Soooooo..... Do you surrender then?
it is unfortunate that this reaction primarily seems only directed at sharks. If someone is attacked and killed by a bear, you don't hear about culling the bear population?
i agree that after 40 years we should be well past the fear of Jaws. Some of the horrible sequels should have helped. It amazes me to speak with people who are paralyzingly terrified of sharks.
