Greenpeace bid to go viral to stop WA shark cull

Campaign group Greenpeace has initiated a social media campaign in a bid to drum up viral support for its campaign to stop the Western Australia shark cull.The group tweeted out a link to its petition to the state premier Colin Barnett, asking him to “halt the senseless shark attack”.“A brutal and misguided mass-cull of sharks will soon begin in Western Australia. We have just days to get it stopped,” Greenpeace said.“All human deaths at sea are tragic -- but this knee-jerk response is scientifically unproven and pushes already vulnerable species to the brink.”Greenpeace has in excess of 25,000 followers on Twitter.
