Fox And Friends: Clear The Waters During Surfing Competitions To Prevent Shark Attacks

Fox News host Brian Kilmeade suggested on Monday that beach officials should be “clearing the waters” of sharks to prevent the predators from coming in contact with humans.

Over the weekend, surfer Mick Fanning was caught on video being attacked by what appeared to be a great white shark at the 2015 J-Bay Open in South Africa. The attack comes after a number of other beach goers were injured by sharks this summer in the United States.

“I think that the most shocking thing is that after you hear about the six attacks in North Carolina, okay, these are just swimmers,” Kilmeade noted on Monday’s edition of Fox & Friends. “But then when you see a champion surfer and you have a three camera shoot and an overhead shot, [you] say, ‘Oh my goodness, it could happen anywhere.'”

“You would think that they would have a way of clearing the waters before a competition of this level,” he opined. “But I guess they don’t.”

Yeah just round them all up and ship them to the Dennys across the street until the competition is over. I'm sure they will be fine.

While the sharks are gagging, the surfers should be reasonably safe from harm.
