Two Days, Two Shark Attacks In Sydney

Well fuck me dead.

There was less than 20 hours between the shark attack at Nielsen’s Bay and today’s incident at Dee Why. In both cases, the victims were kids. The assailants? Ancient apex predators, apparently taking notes from the US Health Department’s newly inverted food pyramid. Less processed junk, more whole foods. Single-ingredient meals. For humans, great. For sharks, the problem is that human flesh and foam seem to be creeping onto the menu.

According to the Manly Observer:

“The 11-year-old Dee Why local says he was kicked off his board when the shark lunged up, then a few bites were taken out of the board—one removing a section entirely. The boy was unharmed.

The boy’s father was paddling back out at the time and was able to meet him in the water, where he had been aided by an older grom nearby after he screamed for help. Witnesses say they saw what looked like a bull shark, possibly 4–5 foot long, but this is unconfirmed.”

We’re supposedly gearing up for our next cute, Jubilee-inspired round of pro-cull vs anti-cull debate soon. I must say however, it’s getting hard to pretend the scales aren’t tipping against the conservationists on a daily basis.
