Our state has suffered a fourth fatal shark attack within 7 months. [Story here](http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-03-31/fatal-shark-attack/3924828)

Compared to the slaughter on the roads it is not great and WA has a huge coastline.

The risks are well known. But what an awful way to go.

Long pork in brine, poor bastard.

I certainly feel for the brother. Don’t know that you’d ever get over that.

Being eaten by one of those things, is in my top 3 nightmare list.

Thanks mom & dad for taking me to the drive in when I was 7 to see Jaws.

I’m sure being killed by us for their fins is high on their nightmare list too. And it happens far more often.

Kinda OT, but when I went to Bondi Beach, the guy at the locker rental said, “Don’t worry about sharks, they’ve already been here for lunch.”
