who is the real predator?



In Australia there is fear rippling through us as we hear about the shark attacks that keep occurring, just recently Justin Daniels became the 14th shark attack victim in the state this year. Drastic action is being taken to protect humans from these so called "predators" there is even talk of shark culling, killing these animals so they stop killing us. 

But are the sharks the real predators here in Australia? 

In this year alone 62 women have been killed by family violence, three in just the last 2 days. 

Yet there is no action. 

Our Government is turning its back on the women in Australia. "Women's refuges are being closed, as calls to the national crisis assistance line go unanswered due to a lack of funding."


This is a national crisis, it is a scourge on our society and WE MUST ACT! 

A country like Australia should not have a lack of safe places that women can go to in order to protect their own lives, and the lives of their children.
