What a heart wrenching story. He sounds so emotionally well balanced despite his experience. What a hero. That stat about killing a hundred million sharks a year was so shocking. Sounds like Much of it is cruel ‘hunting’. I had no idea that was happening
Climate change is dangerously affecting the ocean. I live in Florida and we are seeing a lot more shark attacks and hundreds and hundreds of teams of sharks coming closer than they ever have. I don’t know about a hunting them. They are toxic to eat but I would be way more concerned about the coral reefs that are becoming extinct and dying because of, the climate change. Coral reefs protect our coastline and support most of ocean life. And they’re all dead bc of the extreme heat.
Recovery isn’t all roses as we know, and this guy went through huge dark times and a lot of therapy and work on himself to get to this person today - so inspiring and brilliant shark advocate!
Okay. After I saw *_Jaws_* I couldn't go into the ocean for years. Can't even imagine what this guy went through. And he's so right, the ocean is not our backyard swimming pool but a home for wild creatures. I respect that.
You have to respect this guy and the nature of sharks! I am all in for saving all the living creatures on the planet. Thank you for what you are doing💗
What a story ! Paul has a lot of heart ! ❤He is a phenomenal storyteller . He is very charismatic ! What an inspiration ! 😀He is very handsome ! I admire him for his work with the sharks !! ❤🙌🏾💐
4:15 When he said "We kill around 100 million sharks a year ...", I couldn't believe it and thought he was deliberately exaggerating the figure. It turns out, he wasn't: The National Geographic cites statistical report from Dalhousie University in Canada: "One of the most comprehensive studies ever compiled on illegal shark killing brings new startling statistics. An estimated 100 million sharks are killed every year around the world, a number that far exceeds what many populations need to recover. The statistical report, compiled by researchers at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada, crunched numbers of reported shark catches globally and used data from nearly 100 former papers to estimate the number of unreported shark deaths every year. In a moving range, the researchers were able to calculate that between 6.4% and 7.9% of sharks of all species are killed annually. To put that range in perspective, researchers analyzed life data from 62 shark species and found that only 4.9% of sharks can be killed each year to maintain population stability. Anything more than that threatens long term survival of species like the oceanic white tip, porbeagle and several kinds of hammerheads. What’s worse, sharks are considered uniquely vulnerable because they take long periods to mature and generally produce few young over their lifetimes. The culprit is the proliferation of illegal shark finning that spiked in the 1990s to feed appetites for shark fin soup, a delicacy in parts of Asia on par with fine truffles or expensive caviar."
I could listen to him talk all day long. I have learned so much from him and how important sharks are. He is my real life hero and I think he is such an amazing person. Can't wait to see him on Shark week this summer :o)
Shark attacks r usually rare. But when they do happen, it’s one of the scariest experiences one could ever have. Happy that he survived and had put up a fight.
@@jjeennnnnn oh stop it. You women never want to admit you lust over a man. Just say he is hot and has a nice body! Just like women will not admit they want to use a man to pay for things and for financial security.
We are getting a lot more shark attacks in Florida. Because of the severe climate change that’s happening they’re coming in closer in swarms and teams by the hundreds. I’ve never seen them like this before down here.
Sadly you’re on this show. Now because you survived because a shark. It makes everything theses people said sad. Focus on how much they don’t care. Wow wow wow.
I think the whole point of him sharing his story was about not being scared of the water, but that beaches need better surveillance which we're capable of doing. Your comment according to stats just sounds dumb; you have a better chance of dying within a car, or simply walking on the street.
THATS A MAN!!!!! BALANCED, THOUGHTFUL, STRONG, CONSIDERATE...
And he’s very handsome! 😍
His wife is very lucky.
And sexy
How do you know he is a man? Most loonies can't tell the biological/ genetical difference between male and female 😅😅😅😅😅!
You forgot good looking 🔥 😂
What a wonderful human being Paul is in all respects. And I love his humor. Best wishes.

He is gorgeous and brave
OMGosh he’s so brave and not to mention, very attractive

Not important but he is gorgeous. But most importantly, I am glad that he survived that horrific ordeal.
it's so important bc its the truth 😂
He looks like he is good at pounding
Someone give this guy a action movie role, he's very charismatic and a great storyteller, plus he's the real deal.
He's been on shark week.
Paul is one of our best
A typical down to earth great Aussie guy
We are extremely proud of him and the work he does with sharks
You have to respect this guy and the nature of sharks! I am all in for saving all the living creatures on the planet. Thank you for what you are doing💗
WHAT A MAN! Thank you to the ladies of the View for inviting the definition of masculinity in it’s truest form. 😍
This guy needs to host his own show. Maybe host shark week?
I wish for humanity to respect and revere nature MORE!
What a story ! Paul has a lot of heart ! ❤He is a phenomenal storyteller . He is very charismatic ! What an inspiration ! 😀He is very handsome ! I admire him for his work with the sharks !! ❤🙌🏾💐
I spit out my coffee when he said “Doesn’t everyone love Florida?’’ 😂😂

This is unexpectedly an interesting topic and discussion
Is there anything better then how Aussies tell a story so matter of fact well done mate
Whoopie, your hair looks GREAT❤
I did hear what he was saying and not just looking at him. Hard though. :)
I could listen to him talk all day long. I have learned so much from him and how important sharks are. He is my real life hero and I think he is such an amazing person. Can't wait to see him on Shark week this summer :o)

The eye thing is a myth. GO FOR THE GILLS!
You should Watch : The Fighter and the Kid , Episode 162 : Paul De Gelder
God bless you❤
WOW
Guests like this are a direct result of no more actors promoting films.
not a bad thing.
I love it! Tired of actors
First time watching view something actually interesting shark week lol.
Now there’s a man.
Why is he a man, bc he is big and strong and attractive?
@MilkyWayGala……..yes!
@chera9951 Okay then a woman is not a woman unless she has big boobs, big butt and an hour glass figure, right?
@@MilkyWayGalaxyyhe’s strong, mentally and physically. How attractive he is in the eyes of the beholder…. So he’s very handsome 😊.

Wow!!! Sydney harbor!!!
It's heavily polluted 🤮
@@NathanBee3 yes. I've been to the city.
@@bluepeter128 cool

🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
His time wasn’t up poor guy😢
Wow this was a long segment
Now that's a man
And btw, don't poke them in the eye! A bump on the nose will do. Or maybe they're in pain.
Fisherman that fished the rodeo here, uh, sharks are overpopulated. So quit bitching about killing them and yes some do get eaten.
From surviving a shark attack to now being circled by witches man is brave
How much shark harvesting is done for fish oil production?
I’m not interested in swimming in the ocean 🙂
Me neither! It grosses me out
Wait! Their View didn’t mention politics or Trump? I can’t believe this 😂
I am surprised Sunnyless didn’t ask him why he likes Florida
Where are all the ladies??
Sarah and Joy are there, just sitting on the other side
He can top me
Same and I’m not even a bottom 😂
Seriously thought this was Dutch dude. 😶🌫️
😂 becasue why .. he is white or something
@@faithhudson4576SURNAME 🙄🙄🙄🙄 some people eh
@@Fedderchini so you ASSUME someone by their name ... that racist... congratulations
@@faithhudson4576 No....that's not how racism works. haha
@@drubert1981 so you admit you are racist...yes I outed one ... congratulations
Sadly you’re on this show. Now because you survived because a shark. It makes everything theses people said sad. Focus on how much they don’t care. Wow wow wow.
Why are joy and Sara missing?
They hate sharks
Shark finning is also terrible!!
So was his hand reattached??
Lmao obviously not 🤦
@@NathanBee3lol 😂
They were killing the sharks with assault weapons, I just know it.
Were there any witnesses to this shark attack? Just curious.
His mates who pulled him out.
Listen again. It's in his explanation.
Yea my dingo 😂
Maybe my bro should stay out of the water for a while. Just saying
I think the whole point of him sharing his story was about not being scared of the water, but that beaches need better surveillance which we're capable of doing. Your comment according to stats just sounds dumb; you have a better chance of dying within a car, or simply walking on the street.
i hate Sunny and Whoppi
Did they mention racism in this episode. I can't listen I just read the comments.
@@VincentWilliams007they did not! I was impressed
Hmmmm!
Such a cool guy. I actually wanna swim with sharks one day. In a cage of course lol
All sharks should be destroyed.
All sharks should be saved!!!
No humans are at fault for invading and polluting their habitat.
What an ignorant comment
You're a muppet
