Shark for Sale

Seems if you have $18,000 you can buy your own whale shark.

They claim the shark was already dead. I do hope it's true and the people buying the fins get a bad case of poisoning (non lethal of course). Maybe it'll get some negative fin press. However, fins that big will be sold dry to restos who use it for decoration.

people need to learn that we cant keep taking from our oceans!!!

whale sharks are so rare we shouldn't even think of killing such a beautiful and peaceful animal

I really hope it was dead when they found it :/ hopefully seeing such a stunning animal degraded like that will help continue to give shark finning a bad name.

I would like its skeleton for display
