Tracking Great Whites By Satellite

e-gold points to this article about tracking Great White sharks by satellite, writing: "Interesting, I'm glad the impulse isn't just to kill them anymore, it's nice to see something is out there that still considers people as nothing more than a small meal, IMO it puts things into perspective. Besides, life isn't a risk-free proposition, even if they track some of the sharks they're unlikely to track them all." In fact, the article says that Australian law carries fines and jail time for killing Great Whites -- even in self-defense.

Tired of the boring same-old same-old? Looking for some excitement? Well look no more, we've got the job for you!
We're looking for motivated individuals to attach satellite transmitters to Great White Sharks. The number of people killed by Great Whites has been increasing, and we need YOU to help us track their whereabouts! Please note: "Under a 1997 federal law anybody caught killing one, even during an attack, faces fines of up to £20,000 or two years in jail."
