No respect.
At the very end of 2019, I thought for one brief second, that shark and man could live together in harmony. That there was a way forward for us. That we could dance a beautiful tango. The sun came up on 2020, however, and shown its light on a terrible mob of monstrous Great Whites, fifteen to sixteen feet long, very heavy in weight, who had descended upon the peaceful burgh of Yallingup, there in Western Australia, to feast on a dead Sperm whale in such an uncontrolled frenzy that onlookers described it as “an orgy of flesh and blood.”
But you know Yallingup, don’t you? Hometown of Australia’s most beloved surfer Taj Burrow?
Do you disagree?
You think Mick Fanning, Joel Parkinson, Mark Occhilupo, Rabbit Bartholomew, Jack Robinson have more fans, represent the Lucky Country better?
Oh, you are wrong, and much so. Taj Burrow, the perpetual bridesmaid, surfed like we all should, like we all would if gifted the greatest combination of skill, guts and panache. He surfed so good… excuse me, well… that he never once needed a World Title to prove his worth.
Confident.
Though I wonder if his confidence is slipping as he likely watched, through binoculars, those sociopathic apex predators ripping a stately whale to bits? We must turn to Australia’s 7 News for the gory details and try to keep our eyes all the way open.
Two great white sharks have been captured in a feeding frenzy by an astounded fisherman off Western Australia’s coast.
Jesse Gibson and his friend James Powley filmed the 40 minute encounter while fishing about 12 kilometres off Yallingup on Saturday morning.
The four and a half metre monsters were feeding on a dead sperm whale, taking turns biting into the flesh of the floating carcass.
Gibson told Sunrise the sharks circled his boat for about ten minutes before heading to their main meal.
“It made me a little nervous,” he admitted.
I should think “a little nervous.” I should think that I would never ever want to enter those waters again.
The imperial Sperm whale deserved better, don’t you think?
Deserved respect.
A grovel of sharks! A shitshow of sharks!
or even..
A clickbait of sharks!!
I’m confused, can we surf in or around Yallingup or not?
By the way I think Diqsus is broke
Yeah, they’re pretty silent on a fix it date.
Mine seems to be working again. I don’t have to sign in every time for every different article.
Edit-just checked and and it keeps showing the same comment and upvote when ever I look at my past comments and history. And the notifications seem broken. So I guess it is still broke. But at least I don’t have to sign in now for every different article. There is more pressing things to worry about in life than comment software.
You mean I might have more than one like and my self-esteem is unjustifiably being hurt?
Green groups are so hypocritical, they cry for sharks but turn a bling eye to whales.

A mob of sharks??
Methinks another seppo getting his ‘strine’ arse about!
A mob of kangaroos perhaps…
According to the big G a group of sharks is called a gam, herd, frenzy, school or shiver.
You’re welcome!
No,
They’re called: a nightmare, horror show, malignancy, or perhaps a Trumpian / Morrisonian Government.
Hehehe..
Yes!!!
Whatever those sharp toothed creatures from the depths are, a Trumpian/Morrisonian/Johnsonian Government is far more dangerous and inflicts more damage than any Great White Shark!
*you’re 🙂
“Mob”
“Orgy of flesh and blood”
“Australia”
Sounds fun!
Even better if Wendy Legeret is there! (Wink)
Bring on Sea Maven!!
“Sharks are Politique, motherfucker.”
That’s not a terrible mob of Great Whites gorging on a whale, that’s a dance troupe doing the Melbourne Shuffle.
Didn’t someone say something about how it’s fun to gorge on a whale, but don’t let your friends see you doing it?
Did you say sperm whale? https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
