A video of the incident, which took place on the beaches of Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, shows a group of men, including lifeguards from the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, run into shallow water with ropes and a small fishing net to capture the blue shark. They then tie it up on the beach, placing a life buoy around its head and mouth.
Wouldn't it have been ironic if -while they were absorbed in doing that - a giant alligator snuck up behind them, dragged them back into the water, and devoured them?
Not sure why I found this incident so disturbing, but I did. Perhaps it was the unfairness and meanness and total lack of respect for the living creature. It was more like torture. Not sport for food or eliminating a predator that was doing harm to someone. Just sounds like intentional killing and sadism.
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.
I hope they all die as painfully as that shark did.
