    wow the pics hit the nail! Felt like as if one of mine was slaughtered! Me thinks the people in charge all so corrupt and nothing enough has been done to save marine life aggressively! Manya sedihlah!

    problem:
    1.those doing the fishing are doing it for income as most of them are poor. Can we blame them?

    2. The dealers are plain greedy but they are doing this because of us the consumers

    3. We the consumers - we are to be blamed! without the demand the cullings will reduce!

    our children in the future will not be able to appreciate sharks and without the sharks the ecosystem will be affected and damage will be lifetime.

    Wow! This is sad!! They left the sharks to die there. And i presume these are endangered species?
