It's cool and all.. To protect sharks.. But.. Do more research WITHOUT cutting them open.. >_>

[vampirelady69]

I was using sarcasm. Too bad people don't understand that.

[etdbclcsd]

I don't see how cutting them up and studying their remains helps save them. God you don't cut up little 2 year olds who are sick to save them, now do you?

Watch your hands man. Jesus. I've seen people get flesh ripped clean from the bone with these kind of actions. Research, awesome. Hospitals, not so much.

I'm not sure if I understand the rules to this. Tag and release the small ones, but what if a person catches a sweet sized Mako and wants to keep it for steaks? Do they have to turn it over to the researchers?

9ice said but common sense is not common to everybody!!!

[schneiderdt]

The best way to ensure their survival is to leave them alone, we don't need to know everything about anything. Just use common sense.

[tramatiser]
