What the FUCK???????????

Er ... you know that feeling you get when you read something that is so bizarre and strange that you laugh, you know it's not funny, but your disbelief is so great that you think it must be April the first or something? Well, I've just been there:

Live and dead dogs and cats are being used as shark bait by amateur fishers on the French-controlled island of Réunion, according to animal-welfare organizations and local authorities.


I can assure you that I'm not some bleeding heart PETA handwringing cockmonger, but really: dude, WTF?

A videotape and photographs show the dogs with multiple hooks sunk deep into their paws and snouts.




Hutin said many locals view the strays as vermin. "There's no value to the life of a dog there," she said.


OK, so shoot them or put them down some other quick, humane way. This is just fucking sick. Seriously, come on!

You've clearly never tasted shark.

I have, it's yummy. But for fuck's sake, you don't need to use live animals as bait!

Don't they have social workers on Réunion? If not, would they like some of ours (to use instead of the dogs and cats)?

What, shoot the reunion islanders? Definitely sounds like a plan! I don't think they deserve a humane death though.

Love Fido-the-dog's suggestion, do we have enough sharks around these shores?

Word verification "Spret" - close to "Sprat" - more fishing bait.
