Bullshit. Or should I say Bullsharkshit. Swimmers don't get taken at beaches in Australia on any sort of a regular basis.

As far as bunny huggers go, they're(rabbits) an introduced feral pest in this country and should all be killed and for my money all sharks should be slaughtered. I for one would feel much more relaxed on deco if I knew i'd never have to see another shark again.
