DrDawkinstein Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) That sucks. Im not a PETA nutjob by any means, but it's sad to see such a king of the sea end up like that. Edited April 19, 2012 by DrDareustein
boyst Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 That sucks. Im not a PETA nutjob by anymeans, but it's sad to see such a king of the sea end up like that. I agree. I am not an avid fan of hunting, but I can see some sport in it when done with some challenge and patience. Throwing out a net and just getting lucky is like throwing poison out in your yard and finding whats going to fall down nearby. It is sad.

That is how they make their living, they are commercial fishermen. Would you feel better if the shark were domesticated?
boyst Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 That is how they make their living, they are commercial fishermen. Would you feel better if the shark were domesticated? That was not the point I was trying to make, but I understand what you are saying. And, actually, I probably would, because for the most part, I know they would be taken care of and treated well during their lives - this would also employ many people like me and my next venture, Free Range Grassfed Shark, low sodium, too.

Sorry to break your wet dream there buddy, but sharks don't have udders for you to play with.

Throwing out a net and just getting lucky is like throwing poison out in your yard and finding whats going to fall down nearby. It is sad. Except that I don't think the intent was to catch a 20-foot shark. Comparing this to sport hunting is ludicrous - it's more akin to putting rat poison out in your yard, and waking up the next morning to find a dead Siberian tiger. Edit: which, while kinda sad, would also be kinda cool. "Holy ****, a !@#$ing tiger!" Thus, the fascination with the shark. Edited April 20, 2012 by DC Tom

Just Jack Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 Man, someone should make a movie about this. Oh wait, it's already been done.

DC Tom Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 The Bum....The Hiroshima Bum You couldn't even go with "Anyway, we delivered the bum."

I am sure they would be happier in your farm pond eating fish pellets then roaming the Pacific on top of the food chain

Sharks are already free-range.
Mark Vader Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 You couldn't even go with "Anyway, we delivered the bum." "Show me the way to go hoooooome" What a monster that thing is. Unfortunate that such a magnificent creature had to die in a net, nevertheless catching a great white that big is truly amazing.
