Meet surfing's own Greta Thunberg.
Is there no beautiful act that snowflakes will not decry as an abomination? No brave deed that cannot be twisted into into breathless outrage? No feat of emotional and physical strength in defense of humanity that will not become a malformed, caustic tableau via the pale fingertips of online virtue signalers?
Apparently not.
For just a few short weeks ago an eight-year-old hero fished a 314 kg (near 700 lbs) Tiger shark out of Australian waters, saving multiple surfers in Bondi, Coogee, Maroubra, etc. and let us quickly meet Jayden Millauro.
An eight-year-old boy who caught a 314kg shark may have broken a world record.
Jayden Millauro was fishing with his dad Jonathan and boat captain Ibby Dardas off the coast of south Sydney last weekend when he reeled in the beast.
The fishermen threw out a line of bait and the whopping shark followed them just like Jaws in the iconic Spielberg film.
The giant creature swam up to the back of their 7.3 metre boat, called The Undertaker, when Jayden managed to hook it.
‘I was thinking that I hope the crew can (get) the shark (on the boat) because I don’t want to lose it. I was really excited when they got it.’
And how do you think news of our young savior was met?
You’re right. With breathless outrage from the aforementioned online virtue signalers decrying the cruel and wanton destruction of nature. The boy, and his family, were pelted this way and that and even the sport of fishing came under massive attack.
Do you fish?
I don’t, finding it extremely dull, but the other day I posted a video of a happy Russian man playing with his pet lion and got extremely beat-up with “The king of the jungle should NOT be kept in captivity” etc. so know how he must feel.
Very bad.
Jayden Millauro is surfing’s own Greta Thunberg.
Our guardian angel.

I’m getting fed up with loads of people jumping on any event, not thinking, and attacking who ever over what ever just for the sake of it. BACK OFF, GROW UP THE LOT OF YOU, go back to the 1950s,1960s, 1970s when the majority of people were KIND, RESPECTFUL, TREATED PEOPLE THOUGHTFULLY, etc. Today, its too easy for people who would normally join in the band wagon and would verbally ATTACK for the sake of doing it. What are we teaching our kids by doing this attacking, over trivial things…We are turning into a 2nd USA, we are Australians, we cherish our country, we care, respect and look after our Mates and fellow Australians, DONT BE POISONED BY TECHNOLOGY, think first, go back to the way it was before we ruin our once perfect country.
Leave the worlds animals alone to restore our planets balance
We need a Jayden or two out west. Heck, the world needs lots of Jayden’s! Thanks for saving us mate!
People are so ignorant about sharks. That shark was no threat to surfers. The boy didn’t save anyone.
Is this shark killed someone? Sharks are living in the ocean and we get in their living space. I am a surfer, but I don’t agree to kill sharks. I don’t surf where shark spotted. You did not save surfers live, but makes us feel sad what you did. Please don’t do it again…
Do you surf to feed an insecure ego?
and how did killing a Tiger shark save surfers? That is a bit of a reach… and unless Trump is berating this kid for fishing, he’s nothing like GT who actually is an environmentalist… I’m no snowflake…but it seems like you merge two articles and lost the plot.
Greta is saving the world. Jayden is saving surfers. Both doing it ways that infuriate others.
Why visit then?
well…I’ve developed some weird compulsion? I cant handle “social media” no more!! edit to add: I’m serious, I read here more than anywhere else online, comments section especially. Thank you Negs for the job you do,
Honestly, a very stupidly written article.
wait so youre comparing him to greta thunberg? maybe i dont understand but how is Greta the victim of online virtue signalers? She is the virtue signaller…
Greta’s saving the world. Jayden is saving us.
What does the shark have in it’s mouth?
Your momma
