So, this picture has caused controversy among the Shark and Diving world, when it was caught in a fish net, clearly dying anyway, and was killed to put it out of its misery,,, (by people who probably aren't used to killing great whites, hence the "brutality")

I don't condone pointless killing, but if its going to die anyway, why not put it out of its misery to save it the bother and pain?

Some people need to realise they cant save every animal or shark out there, some will die and killing one of them may be the best option for it in the end.

I think I woulda killed it too! Those things are nasty. Think about it though...

Lose a limb or your life to free it...or kill it and not have to bother?

It's a shame that things like this have to happen. A tuna net, find other ways to catch tuna without harming sharks. Great Whites are endangered to begin with, carelessness like this does not help. There has only been like what, 300 Great White attacks since the 1800's, sharks attack because they think that we are FOOD, they cannot tell the difference between a seal and human.

Such a magnificent creature brought down to such a sorry state. How can men be so cruel. What crime has the shark committed to warrant such suffering?

We have a right to be in the sea, just because they live in it doesn't mean we can't go in there. I have an irrational fear of these creatures so seeing one like this doesn't make me feel bad, but in saying that, I don't think killings like this are necessary at all. Only in my opinion you bite us, we bite you back!

Wow. Horrible. People always thinking that sharks are just mindless man-eating machines. Your more likely to die from a bee sting than get eaten by a shark. Then only like 30% of the attacks on human are fatal. Then sharks are a big help to the ecosystem, without them who will keep the ocean clean of decayed animals. I want to be a shark bioligist and study more about them. If people keep killing them i probably wont be able to pursue my 1st dream.

This is really a horrible act. Humans should also respect the rights of animals to live freely and peacefully just like what human wanted. The government and all institutions and citizen must condemn such act of cruelty to animals and these shark hunters must be punished under the law.
