                        Australians Protest Shark Culls

   Thousands of people flocked to beaches in Australia Saturday to protest
   a controversial policy of culling sharks to cut down on attacks.
   Officials in Western Australia have begun baiting offshore lines at the
   state`s most popular beaches. The traps are meant to catch sharks three
   meters in length or longer for killing.
   However, animal rights supporters say the lines catch sharks of all
   sizes as well as dolphins, sea turtles and other marine animals.
   Marine biologists say there is no evidence that killing sharks reduces
   the number of attacks.
