Pre-emptively killing sharks is a response based on emotion rather than of scientific data, they wrote on theconversation website. So often the argument in favour of a cull comes down to the emotional question of who is more important: a human or a shark. Rather, we need to ask the question, will culling sharks actually reduce the risk of an attack? The answer is no. In fact, when shark culling was carried out in Hawaii, between 1959 to 1976, over 4500 sharks were killed and yet there was no significant decrease in the number of shark bites recorded.
