Shark sightings and attacks along the beach areas of South Australia have prompted a shark alert to all holiday beachgoers. The alert follows the attack on 18-year-old Nick Peterson who was killed by a great white shark while being towed behind a boat on a surfboard just off Adelaide's popular West Beach. Officials have ordered the hunting and destruction of the shark (pictured below) responsible for Peterson's death.

No remains have been found for Nick Peterson and, although they are believed to be inside the shark, Phillip Peterson, Nick's father, has pleaded with hunters not to destroy the shark. The father must love animals more than his offspring which I think is absolutely macabre. Besides ignoring the fact that the shark is a proven man-eater that should be eliminated, the father is neglecting to even attempt to recover his son's remains.
