Shark Attack

here's what I noticed

A hunt is under way for the shark that killed Redmond, 30, from Lancashire, while his wife was sunbathing on the shore.

Seychelles police spokesman Jean Toussaint said the attack took place shortly before 5pm local time. "We discovered that the British citizen was badly injured on the hips and the arms. He was assisted medically but unfortunately he could not make it.

"We haven't got the autopsy report yet but he definitely lost a lot of blood."

Redmond was taken to hospital but "had no chance of surviving because of the nature of the injuries", Toussaint said.

Ian and Gemma Redmond had been in the second week of their honeymoon and due to fly home on Sunday.

Toussaint said "a big effort" was being made to catch the shark. "We had this first incident two weeks ago and for the local community it was a freak incident because it had never been reported before around the islands. It took everybody by surprise."

so - what will they do if they kill the shark? Kill it I assume. Thereby taking from shark society a aggressive member of its population which in turn weakens the whole shark population as a whole as this one won't be able to reproduce.

Sharks are wild, they're instinctive; take that from wild sharks & soon we have no sharks
