But it has something to do with the sea. I don't like to see animals brutalized and treated cruelly. I like it even less when people gloat over it. Just a peccadillo I suppose... Could they not have put a bullet into the poor creature before gaffing it with multiple hooks and towing it through the water? Besides the cruelty aspect, sharks are in severe decline... why target them? The ocean needs them more than the trophy lusting fishermorons do. That big Tiger was a thing of beauty and not worth destroying in order for some guys to win some contest. That shark had far more value in the ecosystem they yanked it out of.
