You're also using the Trump logic for climate change denial. "Nah it was cold in my town, therefore its a hoax".
Your only proof for argument comes from attacks alone. Not the possible 100s of sharks that aren't pinged and don't attack and are essentially invisible to tracking methods. Is it not possible then that those sharks act in the way described above? And that confirmed observations from several locations across the globe.
or even 1000's...
i'm happy to be corrected on the next, as i haven't followed it very much...
confidence seemed to be returning in the water with the aerial tracking & warning system? there was evidence it was disrupting the white's behaviour and with the immediate warning they offered to people in the water, attack numbers were down. people were returning back to the water with confidence.
the gov could probably reduce & re-jig the corporate welfare in this country and free up the 3-5 mil (pocket change) needed for aerial support all year round? have a small tourism tariff where they make back the costs?
doesn't completely eliminate the threat, but lessens it significantly? is that an outcome which pleases people? or are they wanting more proactive and aggressive measures (cull)?
i've heard from actual scientists the drum lines are bad. caught sharks send out a distress signal, and more sharks flood into the area looking for a cheap feed. in areas where there are drums, shark activity actually increases.
