Drum Lines Removed by Protesters

3/25/2014

Now this is what I call taking action.  Kudos to everyone involved and let's see more of it.  The following article was copied from WA Today.

Protesters say there have been no repercussions for illegally removing a shark drum line off a Perth beach on the weekend.

A group created what they referred to as a "late entry to Sculpture by the Sea" on Saturday after they removed a shark drum line from the ocean.

Members of the Forest Rescue group, which is against the state's shark mitigation program which involves killing large sharks that come within one kilometre of the coast, posed with the item while dressed as mermaids on Cottesloe beach.

Spokesman for the group Simon Peterffy admitted the group removed the drum line from about one kilometre off Cottesloe Beach, an action that could attract a $20,000 fine.

"That doesn't deter us," he said.

Mr Peterffy said neither the police or fisheries officers questioned the group about the item.

He said representatives of Surf Life Saving WA and Sculpture by the Sea had spoken to the group on the day but did not ask them to leave.

The Department of Premier and Cabinet is yet to respond to questions about the incident. The Fisheries Department refers all media queries related to sharks to the Department of Premier and Cabinet.
