Das sollte man hier und jetzt toppen.
Unten ein paar Zitate auf englisch, die die enge Verquickung von
Pseudoexperten, falschem Rittertum, Project AWARE, PADI, Cousteau belegen.

2000 March - Environmentalists accuse PADI of putting an environmental
spin on the business of shark feeding when the diver training agency
announces that its Project Aware organization opposes a ban on marine
life feeding.

2001 September 1 - While being interviewed on a worldwide radio
broadcast, shark feeding supporter Jean-Michele Cousteau angrily warns
Bob Dimond of the Marine Safety Group to: " Stay the hell out of my way."

PADI urges members to fight shark feeding ban
# 2001 October 21 - Just ahead of the final FWC vote on a shark feeding
ban, PADI issues a call to arms urging its members to fight the ban.
After many PADI members complain about attempts to feed PADI membership
pro-shark feeding propaganda, PADI justifies its opposition to the
proposed ban by comparing shark feeding thrills to the performances of
orcas held captive in small aquarium pools. Then, to underscore their
desperation, PADI promotes an intellectually bankrupt site rushed onto
the web in early October that is full of silly cartoons and ugly
hate-mongering as an authority on the issue of shark feeding.

PROJECT AWARE vs CYBER DIVER SOCIETY
P.A: "Experience has shown that participants in responsibly organized
shark feeding encounters become fervent shark conservationists. A good
(and equally complex), comparison is to killer whales and marine parks.
While there are those who strongly disagree with placing orcas in
captivity and having them perform, it is these contrived, ''unnatural''
encounters that removed public fear and fueled killer whale protection.
Interactive dives are of key importance for gaining the same change in
public opinion regarding sharks." Jeff Nadler - PADI Project Aware


C.D.S.: "Eventually PADI will learn, or admit, there is no causal
relationship between shark feeding and conservation. We don't need to
pretend that sharks or lions or orcas are friendly and cute. We can
fear them, respect them and want to protect them for the awe-inspiring
natural-born killers they really are, rather than the force-fed circus
performers PADI, Project Aware and Jean-Michel Cousteau want to turn
them into." Freeman Washington, Cyber Diver Society

Ban on shark feeding becomes law
# 2002 January 1 - Shark feeding becomes illegal in Florida.
Shark 'expert' Erich Ritter blames fishing for Florida shark attacks
# 2002 April - Shark diving entertainer, Erich Ritter, a self-proclaimed
shark 'expert' who owns and operates a shark feeding tour business in
Florida, and has been accused by leading elasmobranch scientists of
falsifying his professional credentials, claims that his personal
collection of shark bite photos proves that over 90 percent of shark
attacks are caused by fishing. Rodale's Scuba Diving hack Dave Taylor, a
strident and often hysterical shark feeding proponent, publishes
Ritter's preposterous, psuedoscientific findings.
