The reason I have started this petition is because I am angered at the way dive operators and charters are treating an important and vital creature in the oceans that surround Southern Africa. The SHARK!!!!!!!
Shark feeders and baiters claim that they are conserving sharks. The reality is that dive industry-endorsed shark feeders and baiters are only in it to make a profit from so called "interactive shark tours". The truth is that they harm wildlife and compromise public safety!
Just because millions of sharks are slaughtered on an annual basis does not make shark feeding okay.
Manipulating sharks with bait to approach dive boats and "perform" or "model" for diving thrill seekers, tourists and photographers severely damages their natural defence mechanisims and significantly increases the probability that they will be killed by shark fishermen.
We need to wake up and smell the sea water guys. Without sharks in our ocean the ecosystem will go into disarray and our childrens' children are going to one day ask the question... What is a SHARK? The answer might very well be... " they are extinct, lets look it up".
Let's make a difference!

We are trespassing in their domain. Leave them alone! So much negative publicity about them is published but by those not sensitive to the sharks rights!

I'm a scuba diver and i'm disgussed by this form of interaction with sharks. i have dived with many sharks before and cage diving is cruel and uncalled for. Please ban this form of shark entertainment
