Women are the new seals
I'm staying out of the water over there if there are any women of child bearing age within sight. Those sharks can smell blood for miles, and possibly through plastic. Although, I'll bet they were off the yak and swimming before it happened and the trail led the shark right to them.
BTW, the shark in Duxbury last week swam right into the waters of Plymouth Beach before they lost track of it in deeper water. Same shark I bet.

keep protecting those seals

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

My girlfriend swims white horse beach every weekend, she might have to rethink he love of a nice long swim along that beach. We were both in the water several times this past weekend, nice comforting thought.

I swam it last night with all the commotion going on. Saw 1 seal, helo was circling when I worked my way out to my rock. I had herd a seal was eaten at lunch. Didn't hear about the attk til after I got back in. Waded right past the cops and firefighters. Not a word was said. We as humans just need to realize that we are no longer the apex predictor once we enter the water. It's that simple I have accepted that fact.

Did they get their deposit back on the kayak rental???
"Hey, look at those seals!"
"Yeah, they're acting real nervous, maybe we should go see why?"
"I don't know why the shark would do that to us, I mean, we're not seals you know!"
It's only going to be a matter of time before someone gets killed by a shark, and it will be the person's fault for doing something or being somewhere that they shouldn't. (I'm not talking about fishermen, as we don't want ANYTHING to do with seals, but rather the tree-hugging eco-tourists that just "have" to get up close and personal with the wildlife, and end up getting more than they bargained for!)
The sad part is that the only thing that will be done will be restrictions on US!!! We will no longer be able to fish, swim, snorkel or even wade in waters where the sharks are "possibly" prone to hunt seals.
That means beaches will be closed whenever they think the danger might exist.
Hopefully it won't come to that. but we all know how the seal and plover stories turned out, so I wouldn't get my hopes up.

I have been fishing this area since I was a kid and have seen many seals with chunks missing out of the rocks as I fish back in '12 and 11'....this is nothing new. A few of friends that are comm. lobstermen that set trawls in the Manomet area have seen many great whites in the last 3 years. One this day, the first sighting was at 1pm by a different girl...shark attacked seal 20 ft from her kayak. The other 2 girls,reading this on facebook, decided to launch from the MBO and dangle dead fish from the back of their kayak 4 hours later...this was not mentioned in the news. Thats why the shark was curious and took a "nibble" out of one of their kayaks after eating the dead fish. I still fish my rocks but dont swim way out like I did 2-3 years ago. Way to many seals in this area.
