=== PLEASE HELP PROTECT THE GREAT WHITE SHARKS === Only 1 of 8 commercial Great White Shark cage diving boats in Gansbaai, South Africa use protective boat engine covers while baiting and cage diving with the Great White Sharks. THE SOUTH AFRICAN GOVERNMENT DOES NOT REQUIRE GREAT WHITE SHARK CAGE DIVING BOATS TO USE PROTECTIVE BOAT ENGINE COVERS. Why How can this be Boat engines have sharp steel propellers and thick steel shafts which are completely exposed to the Great White Sharks, as they pursue and hunt floating bait used to lure them inches from the boats. Sharks have been badly injured, \'slashed and ripped\', from contact with boat engines. PROTECTIVE ENGINE COVERS, simple plastic sheaths, MUST BE USED TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THE GREAT WHITE SHARKS. As you read this, 14 unprotected boat engines float everyday, straight in the smiling faces of the Great White Sharks of Gansbaai, South Africa. Gansbaai has more Great White Sharks than anywhere else in the world! PLEASE HELP PROTECT THE GREAT WHITE SHARKS! It takes 5 minutes to put on a boat engine cover. Don\'t you think the safety and welfare of the Greatest Shark in the world is worth 5 minutes of our time Please tell the SOUTH AFRICAN GOVERMENT that this is BLATANT ANIMAL CRUELTY, completely unacceptable, and it MUST BE STOPPED! REQUIRE ALL GREAT WHITE SHARK CAGE DIVING BOATS TO USE PROTECTIVE BOAT ENGINE COVERS NOW-NOW!!! NOT JUST-NOW!!! THANK YOU! Andy Brandy Casagrande IV ABC4EXPLORE http://www.abc4explore.com/

Reaching this level of support feels like a heavy weight has been shifted off my shoulders. It is exhausting to fight for those who cannot speak for themselves but seeing this many people acknowledge the danger to these sharks keeps me moving forward.

This is horrible. How are these boats allowed to operate without basic safety for the animals? They are just there to watch them not hurt them.

Get those covers on the props. It is not that hard to do. Stop letting these sharks get cut up just for profit. Do better SA.
