What a shame. What a flippin' waste.

My first thoughts on reading about a shark caught in Ireland.

Angler sets new record by landing half ton shark in Ireland - Telegraph

WOW! I doubt it will be wasted. Lots of good "steaks" on that one. Break out the barby, matey.

I saw this also Bill and was so annoyed. I don't know if you've watched the fabulous Robson Green goes fishing series? He was catching the most ginormous cat fish in Spain and great care was taken with them to get them back in the water. Mr O has been fishing almost all his life and goes for the big uns but the truth is, he actually dreads catching a biggun because as he says, it is an enormous responsibility to land safely and get back in the water without damaging the fish.

I just don't understand why these dickheads can't just pose for a quick snap and then release the shark or fish.

Maybe they are hungry, Do you ever eat fish and chips?
Hell I fish all the time and keep a good lot of them for eating. It amazes me when everyone gets holier than thou about animals being eaten and the same people eat meat, fish and chicken.

Yes, your absolutely right.... I'm a hypocritical vegetarian. Most people are. I just think that when a magnificent beast as that has lived life to that size, it is a pointless exercise to kill it.

I agree!

-we eat so many different types of animals, even Llama and reindeer.

everyone needs to eat, and some animals are over-populated and would over wise starve to death.
