hitler hung his enemies who tried to stage his failed assasination from meat hooks and filmed their slow death...isn't this the same thing?

Totally unnecessary. Pure cruelty. Someone doing that should die the same way.

this shark was already dead when he was caught, or struggled out of the water

Congratulations to Goodyear to show this example how to take care of nature. How to preserve the sea, and how to treat the sharks. Goddyear, never more on my vehicles.

Ahh, those "daring" anglers! So daring indeed, 400 feet up in the air whist dragging a hapless shark through the water for what appears to be miles before finally hoisting it skyward. Animal cruelty, 1930's style. "Daring" would be swimming with the sharks in their own environment. This is about as daring as African big game hunting, which involves a well paid guide taking some rich a-hole into the bush and saying, "There's the mighty lion, king of the beast resting comfortably on the ground and with no knowledge we are even here...go ahead and shoot him." With a high powered rifle, high powered scope and absolutely zero real danger to the "hunter", there's nothing sporting about it. It's just one person's opinion, but I believe hunting and fishing should be for sustenance only, not for human amusement.
