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.
