Dancing To Stop The Dying: “Tigress” Tangos With Sharks

There’s no length certain people won’t go to defend animals, even if what they’re doing appears to be a dance with death. Hannah Frasier, conservationist and mermaid model, took on her most challenging performance to date, diving without scuba or protective gear into a group of tiger sharks to make a stunning statement against the Australian government’s culling policy. In a knee-jerk response to several shark attacks off the west coast of Australia, the West Australian (WA) government implemented a shark cull to make beaches “safe” again for bathers. Despite intense domestic and international opposition, and overwhelming scientific evidence disproving the effectiveness and justification for the cull, the WA government remained resolute in carrying out the cull. Among the species most effected are Tiger Sharks, and despite the critical ecological role this species plays, and the fact that their numbers have already been severely depleted throughout their range, and having just concluded the initial cull period, the government appears committed to reinstating the cull when they deem “appropriate. Premier Colin Barnett claimed the policy has been a success, stating ‘They were tiger sharks. They are proven around the world to be a dangerous shark.’ Take a look at the video, and see what you think.
