A Love Story

The French Magazine : “Le magazine des voyages de peche” in its 56th edition, brought up some amazing news: An astonishing love story.

Arnold Pointer, a professional fisherman from south of Australia, set free from a certain death, a large female white shark that was caught in his fishing nets.  Now the fisherman has a problem; He says: “It’s been 2 years and she doesn’t leave me alone. She follows me everywhere I go and her presence scares all the fish. I don’t know what to do any more.”

It is hard to get rid of a 17 foot long shark since the white sharks are protected by the wildlife conservation, but a mutual affection has been established between Arnold & “Cindy”.  Arnold says: “Once I stop the boat she comes to me, she turns on her back and lets me pet her belly and neck, she grunts, turns her eyes and moves her fins up and down hitting the water happily….” 

Simply amazing….
