Regardless of what you think of Sharks it was still a living thing and people killing it for some idiotic selfie pics is revolting.
Exactly. But judging by some of the imbecile comments already posted, I wouldn't be surprised if such behavior continues to be encouraged. Its cringe worthy to see people mess with nature in such a fashion. People are becoming drones latched to their phones and becoming excessively narcissistic with the need for selfies and validation. So sad.
Living things are living things. If you think it is ok to kill and torture for sport then how about inserting "person" where "shark" would go and you will see it amounts to the same thing. Sadism is sadism. Apparently that is either something you are into or it doesn't bother you much. Either way, good luck with that.
Do you extend all that love to termites and mosquitoes?
They're living things too.
Not sure why you should be discriminatory to "predatory animals." Nature isn't a Disney movie with cartoon villains. All animals deserve to live undisturbed and unharmed from human ignorance. (Hunting for food or survival is one thing, though no one ever needs to eat a shark, which is loaded with mercury to the gills.)
Predators like sharks are necessary for population control and disease control in the ocean, too. Sharks eat sick and infected fish which reduces the spread of disease across the sea. Dolphins are predators, too, though. Regardless of how cute they are. (They also are known to gangrape..) Orcas are technically a type of dolphin, and they're more predatory than even great whites.
This story enrages me just a much as the dolphin one. I hate ignorant people who do ignorant things. Respect the ocean, dammit!
I agree. It was an unnecessary death to a live animal. I'm not against fishing or hunting as they eat what they kill, but to kill something for selfie really pissed me off.
Yeah, this. ^^^
