Title says it all. [url]http://photoblog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/02/07/10340172-fishermen-reel-in-shark-the-size-of-a-school-bus[/url] [img]http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/MSNBC/Components/Photo/_new/pb-120207-shark-da-01.photoblog900.jpg[/img]
Poor whale shark :( They're completely harmless.
I was expecting a Giant killer. Then it was a Whale Shark :(
What the fuck stop killing awesome animals. I'm really sad now.
[QUOTE=maurits150;34594971]What the fuck stop killing awesome animals. I'm really sad now.[/QUOTE] They actually didn't kill it. They found it unconscious.
It was supposedly already dead when they pulled it in, no?
[QUOTE=maurits150;34594971]What the fuck stop killing awesome animals.

If they actually make use of the whole shark, at least it will be better than what others do (cut off shark fins, dump the rest back in)
I always wanted to swim with a whale shark....that's kinda depressing :(
Misleading title. Fucking giant disapointment.

Seems like it was dead when they found it. Still, that's a massive source of food for the local sea life removed.
was expecting a giant white shark, would crept me out.
That's amazingly huge... at least they didn't kill it and it died on it's own.
[QUOTE=krten_2x 4b;34595027]Misleading title. Fucking giant disapointment.[/QUOTE] Alright, sorry, i'll change it.
Might have died from old age seeing as it's huge. Nice catch I suppose. Dissect it and learn from it and eat the rest(if eating days old dead fish is your thing). Those fins are going to go for thousands of dollars. [editline]7th February 2012[/editline] Odd, last night I was thinking how neat it would be to get to dissect a naturally dead whale shark. Not to often you get to feel around inside a near endangered species. [editline]7th February 2012[/editline] I bet the smell is horrible.
I'd say give it a proper burial ( put it back out to sea ), something that big and majestic deserves respect.
It better of been already dead or that picture pisses me the fuck off.
[QUOTE=Black;34595082]was expecting a giant white shark, would crept me out.[/QUOTE] They're long dead.
I was hoping to see a giant great white.

Nice catch. I wonder if it tastes good or not.
[QUOTE=Leonmyster;34595604]They're long dead.[/QUOTE] Great Whites are still around. You're probably thinking of Megalodon, whose relationship to the Great White is disputed.
oh i bet peta is going to find a way to go apeshit over this! somehow!
That water looks yucky. The water, coupled with the appearance and size of the shark make me feel really sick for some reason.
Well this was a disappointment. Talk about drumming up expectations and not delivering. Then again this is [I]Sensationalist[/I] Headlines. Also, that's pretty sad about the whale shark. At least they found it dead, instead of being the ones who killed it.
whale sharks are bros :[
Was expecting a living Megalodon. I am disappointed.
stop killing animals!!!!!!!! :(

Anybody else has read The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway? I know that was a different kind of shark and he actually had to kill it, but it still reminded me of that. Good story.
