What a bunch of bastards these fishermen/tourism officials ate in the Seychelles. Catching all the sharks they can and stringing them up just try and prove they caught the one that bit the arm off that fella on honeymoon last week. It's pathetic and wrong and the British press don't help by trying to sensationalise it all with headlines like jaws killer, monster etc. Why exactly is a fish a monster just because it bit something that was splashing around in the ocean? It's interesting to see that so called experts have do far blamed bull sharks, great whites and now tiger sharks for the attacks. What sort of experts are these? The teeth of a great White are vastly different to those of a bull or tiger shark. The bite marks would reveal these on the swimmers body!! It's a tragedy that this guy died but it's about time people started to realise that if you go to foreign far off places and swim in the sea then you are taking a risk. People need to accept that risk or they shouldn't go in the water. It didn't help him that he was swimming at dusk. Dawn and dusk are the times when sharks are at their most active, most shark attacks on humans occur in these time ranges. The sea is full of things big and tiny that can be fatal to swimmers. Unfortunate incidents will happen now and then. It shouldn't be an excuse for humans to start killing everything in the sea just to try and protect the tourist industry.
