Thought provoking.
But do you belong to any helpful organizations like PETA or NOW or Teamsters Local 542 or the Surfrider Foundation? I’ll admit to being perpetually intrigued but generally lack the courage of my convictions when it comes to filling out paperwork etc.
Still, jealously bubbles and FOMO too when I see activists having a fine time. Enjoying themselves etc.
On a similar note, the very famous South African surfer Grant “Twiggy” Baker proposed a provocative question on BeachGrit’s semi-famous Instagram account late last night. Derek Rielly, reporting on a second possible Great White carcass stuffed under Margaret River’s famed reef, posted a little teaser and encouraged people to visit BeachGrit’s anti-depressive website for more.

In the comments Mr. Baker wondered, “Crazy shit, only 10000 whites estimated left in the world and 7 Billion people. Who needs a culling more”.
A very interesting hypothetical but before I could come to a conclusion @jordossr asked where he got the stat to which Twiggy replied, “NatGeo said 5000 I just doubled it Incase”.
Is it true? Only 5000 Great Whites left worldwide?
As the leading shark-cum-surf journalist, I immediately got down to work and discovered that treehugger.com claims only 3500 “left in the wild” while phys.org declares there are 8000 in Australian waters alone.
Hmmm.
Still, both numbers are very much less than the 7.8 billion people on earth.
Culling people is a very slippery slope, though Shirley Jackson might have been on to something with her famous short story The Lottery.
Did you read in school?
Did it terrify?
Also, do you think Twiggy is more famous than Jordy Smith?
I would make the argument that he is.
But back to this human cull. Could shark cages filled with children (above) be a possible answer? A lottery for which kids go in and how long they stay down?
No?

Hey Twig, stick to riding waves
peta girl looks yummy… I love a juicy milf
should for sure be a human culling, but not a lottery. Eugenics and some type of test, maybe similar to the ASVAB, only more difficult. Then once we have significantly reduced the population it will be a lottery system to determine who reproduces.
He’s right.
It’s the law of unintended consequences. We thought it was great to go vaccinate to poor people in Africa. The only problem is they are no longer dying like flies but continue breeding like rabbits.
As a mate of mine likes to say: poverty makes you horny.
Of all the dumb things to say … 🙄
Well twiggy you gonna volunteer to be culled?
Why use a pic of a dead Tiger shark with Richard ‘Hooper’ Dreyfus from Jaws ? Plenty of other shark pics u coud use.
Cull humans, start with the pedo’s and people who want to restrict access to the beaches. People will get over the initial shock of tacking human life this way. Eventually it will be come normalized and we work up to Natural footers from there.
start with the red hat people…
The people that need culling are the lowlifes that catch sharks & cut their fins off & dump them back into the water. Could cut their arms & legs off & dump them in the water. I bet they wouldnt like that.
Keep them away from our beaches. Find a way and cull them until we can. 1,000 quota.
Frankie sez-
Relax, don’t do it
Relax
When you want to come
I’m comin’, I’m comin’, hey, hey
Relax don’t do it
When you want to go to it
RIP great white sharks
We really r monsters aren’t we
I love how these people just pluck numbers out of the air with absolutely no backing at all.
It’s like saying ‘oh we only have one moon in our solar system, because when I look up at night I can only see one….. but just to be safe I’ll double it. Therefore there is 2’.
Don’t discount Uranus!
I think he’s pretty familiar with it
The rings of Uranus are a sight to behold!
Especially after three consecutive long haul flights.
lol
A gentleman never discounts his anus.
Always full price.
There’s a heap of moons
That’s my point
But i can only see one ?!
Now you’re getting it

haha!
So good
the UN is currently engaged in human culling. They started the fires, invented the flu, spread AIDS through our water and now they’re arming North Korea with nukes so numerous that the West will simply be overwhelmed when they come. Jesus foretold this in Episcopalians 3:3-6.
Dear Sirs,
Channelbottom is curious regarding the accuracy of the anatomical profundity posed by the vegan activist pictured above.
He wonders whether this person has ever closely examined the opposable thumb of a delicious ham sammich enough to understand a few vital differences.
Yours truly,
On behalf of,
CBottom.

You really running with this speaking in the third person aren’t you
A gentleman never runs.
I like it, adds an air of Gravitas. I can see CB cogitating on his comments with furrowed brow, sporting a smoking jacket in temperate climes or linen suit for the tropics. P’raps even reclining in an Opium den whilst composing his comments with a quill and affixing to a carrier pigeon to deliver forthwith to the BG coop.
CB feels that the final syllable of your first sentence, is of the utmost importance.
Unless you have a smart drum line program running the only measure will be deaths
Just to be safe, Twiggy Baker is twice as popular as Jordy Smith.
I think the culling of humans is underway and began in the live animal markets of Wuhan
And University’s in Australia are crying today due to money being lost based on proper screening of potentially infected Chinese students coming in and spreading the ass flu around. The money lost.. the outrage.. supposedly smart people can be real fucken dumb sometimes.
Chinese embassy was losing it’s shit at the gov department responsible on the radio this morning.
Great to see some research being done in a BG article, Chas !
Today is a red letter one.
You going to research how to block being slapped in the face for the next time you see Goggans? And if there’s no video, it doesn’t happen!
How could even he possibly research the many many years of martial arts training that would require before they next cross paths?
Yes! Glad to see more people intrigued by the Goggans punch.
