Summary

A shark behavior expert criticizes former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott for calling for a shark cull following a serious great white shark attack on 35-year-old teacher Leah Stewart at Coogee Beach in Sydney. Stewart remains in critical condition with severe, life-threatening injuries after multiple surgeries. Experts argue that culling is not scientifically supported and suggest drone technology could have been used to prevent the attack.
