The shark must’ve attacked him by mistake because, ya know, that’s the only reason experts say they attack people. And because no part has been found of him or the man from 2023, the sharks must’ve mistakenly eaten every last bit of them. It’s amazing how sharks have lasted for tens of millions of years when they’re so mistake prone.
Anyone who surfs in Australia has to be aware that any time they go surfing it could be their last time … the ocean belongs to sea creatures we are just guests …
so true ,But something is missing from the news: the millions of sharks that are killed every year In miles of trawl nets, fishing for fun or out of anger and so on about this it is strangely very quiet.....
@@joeblogs3950 nah but I’m allergic to tiger sharks bull sharks great whites and saltwater crocodiles… hahaha that’s why I stay away from Australia haha
"Sharks don't prey on humans...", "Sharks might confuse you with a seal..." and "sharks don't consume humans" - the classics. They obviously do! Not to mention that have great eyesight and their bodies are basically swimming sensors. So what is it now? Natures most advanced predator or a half blind stumbling fool of the oceans? Yes, we need to preserve sharks, but we need to stop ignoring the obvious and learn from it.
Then there would be many more attacks. Also studies of the eyesight showed we do look like a seal above when surfing. If white sharks started to prey on humans they would starve to death. But who wants to be educated in some you talk about lol.
@@MrPrice2U load of drivel, you can't be serious when you say shark lovers say they aren't dangerous??nobody I know would hop in the water with a white shark and be comfortable! 2 fatal attacks in a country were millions swim every year proves they don't view us as prey overwhelmingly!! You swim/surf at your own risk
@@rawdog314 The millions swim every year argument is bogus. And you seem to be conceding the point when you say they don't view humans as prey "overwhelmingly."
The white pointers that actually have consumed humans are obviously very hungry one's. Very long distances to travel, diminished food sources where they were once plentiful, and an instinct to survive, of course a surfer is going to be picked off. That's the risk surfers are willing to take
The weirdest thing about this entire deal. The Jeff Schmucker person in this video noted as the friend of the victim is the same person from a 2023 video of an attack in same place where he was a witness that arrived just after the attack.... Coincidence ? And his involvement made the news both times ? Put in the search bar ...''The Recent Attack in Streaky Bay That Saw a Man Eaten Whole''
Signage is need in that carpark informing surfers and swimmers that the great white sharks frequently visit this area. Signage needs to be setup in a way that warns of resent sitings that day or the last week, like a flip over sign etc. Not everyone will see the warnings on social media. Council needs to lead the way and make this suggestion happen. We can't stop all attacks, but we need to be proactive in trying to prevent it happening again.
This is sad but aye you know the risks entering the ocean and it seemed like he did what he was passionate about. I send my condolences to his loved ones 🙏
Yeah, its so annoying when shark enthusiasts talk about "accidents" or "mix ups". NO, they know what they are doing. Nature had millions of years to tweak their abilities.
@@MrPrice2U occasionally sharks will eat people, 2 or 3 shark attacks every year in a country were millions and millions of people swim every year proves that the overwhelming majority aren't interested.
They will eat people. People who say that are in denial. But we do not taste very good to them and very very few sharks of a few species will target people. . We are just extremely fragile, and a test bite can be fatal.
Deepest condolences to this young man’s friends and family. Not that this helps but if this is suspected to be a GW breeding ground then there will be a lot of hormonal and pregnant sharks in the area. I would be very surprised if there were not more negative encounters. I do hope the family can find some solace in that this young man died doing what he loved. I do hope that despite this tragic incident the reaction isn’t one to find and kill any sharks in the area. ❤
I think that part of the reason sharks are getting more used to being around humans is due to the studies carried out by scientists. I am not against that because it helps us understand them better, but they feed them with blood and bait to attract them and sharks are getting more used to interacting with humans than normal, losing their fear and realizing that they are naturally curious animals as well.
R.I. P. There is no need to debate over it. This man was living his best life at the time and tragically lost his life. I couldn't imagine what his family and friends are going through right now
People's fault sharks just doing their thing, they will eat people if they feel like it. If I went for a jog in the safari zone I would probably be mauled by lions...you get the point
keep putting humans in a cage whilst chumming with blood and wonder why innocents get eaten!! Pure example of human stupidity for some $$$! The government should be sued for lack of duty of care for allowing this industry. So sorry for the family.
It's too hard for some folks, they dress as a seal and jump in If a great white was cranky I'm guessing the sight of a surfboard would've been enough to get him to ram it
I will never understand how anyone can love the surf that much ,knowing there's big hungry monsters under the surface,waiting.Some adventure's have a death wish
Bro, there are human eating monsters in the oceans that can bite you off in half. Is that consequence worth several hours of dopamine hits? Now the idiot will read that and think, "So what you want me to sit and watch tv all day so i can stay safe" and just jumps to the other extreme 😂😂😂
RIP. Puppies of the sea folks apparently (yes they aren't monsters but they are large predatory animals just like a Tiger or a Grizzly bear and are dangerous)
I just don't get surfers you gotta be pretty negligent to think you can surf in Shark infested waters. Another thing i don't understand about Australians and their willingness to swim in croc and shark infested waters...
@thegemhiveantiquejewellery796 Okay. Ever heard of a strawman argument. Nobody is arguing a person died lol. Yes he died just like way more dying in car accident or bee stings.
As Australian surfer it’s just the risk we take, we’re more likely to die in a car accident on the way to the beach than be eaten by a shark. No one blames the shark it just your time is up
RIP.. I read the family wants to kill the shark that is responsible to retrieve the body. Odds of that happening are slim. I'm sorry this happened to this guy but you go into the ocean you are taking a huge risk. Jaws terrorized me from ever going into the ocean but I still don't want sharks killed because of incidents like this. Just last year another guy was attacked in the same area and has never been found. Leave the sharks alone.. Don't want to be attacked don't go into the water..
I think its time for a mega company or big Gov to really look in to this “shark shield” tech and see if it can be improved upon and made 100% effective against very large predator fish. If that tech can actually work and doesn’t cost a fortune for the mundane surfer or beachgoer to afford…. It could be a godsend
I've heard of shark shields getting attached to nets to keep sharks away, some sharks now associate that device with a food source These animals are still in the water after millions of years because theyre smart and they adapt
If u willingly go into shark infested waters ur kinda asking for it. 😭 make smarter decisions although ur free to double down about it not being dangerous until it is
What's so difficult for a "certain" category of people to accept it is a fact that sharks eat absolutely anything thay can make a meal of and to sharks or any predator people are pray items have been for literally our entire existence on earth and for sharks people have to be about as easy of a meal there is its just the majority of the worlds sharks rarely if ever encounter humans certainly never on a regular basis Yeah Sharks do consider us food and yes the at times bite people and sometimes decide to eat people it's no more complicated than that Only reason sharks dont eat a hell of a lot more people is humans only share
God bless your beautiful soul Lance Appleby and rest in peace and tranquility. I can not even fathom what his family are enduring right now, it would be the worst heart searing pain, and as a mother myself, I can only imagine. God bless all the Appleby family who would be existing one minute at a time right now. Something has to be done, I have no idea what really, but something. Our State Government and Councils have to get more pro active onto this now, develop some ankle and wrist technology that shocks them away before they even get close, or technology on the bottom of their boards, or, apparatus that emits painful electrical impulses that upset their sensory signals. Maybe there is a smell/odour that repulses sharks that can be spread on the surfers and boards. This is happening way too often now. Maybe we need to build more wave pools around Australia near beaches and using pumped in seawater but away from the ocean. At least there can be no man eating predators in wave pools.
R.I. P. There is no need to debate over it. This man was living his best life at the time and tragically lost his life. I couldn't imagine what his family and friends are going through right now
Don’t agree. People need to learn not to ignore common sense because they think they are invincible. This could’ve easily been avoided, and it doesn’t help to normalize these type of decisions.
I don't get why they have to get in the water when they are warned that an aggressive great white has been seen in the area?
She'll be right mate.
If you’re not a surfer, you wouldn’t understand
@@DrShred24 so let us understand.....surfing is more important than survive?
@@DrShred24i will never have pain for surfer because it’s just and hobbie and they now the risk
Australian mentality works differently. They have the most venomous spiders in their garden, yet still run around barefoot.
The shark was acting aggressive. It is a shark. It acts like a shark.
Extremely sorry for the family.
Some GWs are naturally more aggressive. Covered in scars etc. Just like some people are more aggressive.
@@guyfanno1 The shark is not to blame. It is an unlucky incident.

Goes to show he is even more dim witted than first thought
he's chumming the water to unalive surfers.
Maybe he is coordinating with the sharks in return for not being eaten
@@JohnnyDanger36963 yep , he's a serial chummer
I thought he looked familiar, he was the dude on the jet ski, man what a coincidence, surfing those waters at 6.30 PM, you'd have to be off your head

Like 4 fatal attacks since xmas

@ConstableHandsy well that's just not true cause I'm from Wales hahah

Has nothing to do with it. Sharks eat ppl. They don’t care. Long before cage diving ppl were being eaten by sharks.
Angry great white???... i'm convinced that people have all but gone mad, and yes that includes "you"
Shark attacks may be rare, but if you go in enough eventually your card will get pulled.
Stay out of shark infested water
You can say it until you turn blue in the face, but it won't register.
