Perhaps predators are eaten in Africa; wolves, mountain lions and coyotes are not eaten in the US, and we hunt them just the same. I do anyway.

If a species is endangered, then absolutely, let's do the right thing.

Mountain lions cannot be hunted in CA not because it's the right thing but because antis succeeded in portraying hunting them as the wrong thing.

Rosie has children? The father deserves a medal and therapy.

That's a huge shark, but if and when I catch my first shark I'm snapping a pic boatside!

bosdeerhunt - it is now illegal to kill a Great Hammerhead in Florida waters. Do you really think African big game animals meat goes to waste with all the starving people over there? I'm sure the hunting camps donate what the clients don't eat to the staff. You are making a lot of assumptions about that. I'm sure some meat goes to waste somewhere sometime in this world but calling Rosie O'Donnel out is not a double standard. This was a blatant case of her not walking the walk.

I see these pictures of large sharks hanging at the dock and I wonder why they aren't photographed and released. Fliphuntr you took me back to my days in Fisheries and Wildlife Biology with your excellent explanation.

Many small shark species are not only edible, but damn tasty IF killed, cleaned and iced down QUICKLY. Best if cooked up the same day.
In the interest of full disclosure, I think all 5 of the Pacific salmon species are good eating... when caught in saltwater, killed, cleaned & grilled up the same day.

Well...I think you cured me from ever being interested in tasting shark.

Eating shark is off my bucket list.

I'd keep it if I was going to eat and/or mount it. Anybody that hunts or fishes and says they wouldn't like to harvest a trophy animal for the wall, given the opportunity, is in most cases a liar. However being hunters and fisherman we tend to be liars anyway...I swear it was a 15lb trout!!

Rosie is about as anti-gun, anti-hunting and anti-american as it gets. Hard to imagine her fishing, funny to see her PETA friends reaction though. Would have done all of us a favor by using that liberal scum as chum.

You can say this for Rosie; She makes a pretty good living being just controversial enough so the more "enlightened" watch her show.

I used to live by the ocean and a lot of states you can't fish for shark inside what they consider their waters. It was a state law. You can however, go on excursions that catch sharks as long as they are all cut loose before boarding. I did it once and caught an 11 footer that had a mouth full of hooks and leader from previous excursions. Sharks are duuuuummmb,

How about catch and release since Sharks are becoming an endangered species!!! If they disappear then the whole Eco-system in the oceans will fall apart.

You've all seen Rosie's father of her children we all call it a turkey baster, poor bastard. A better picture would have been her falling overboard and the shark taking a giant bite out of her and spitting her out because everyone knows that a pus sack like her secretes piss thru her flesh and is no good for anything including eating.
