Guess they ran out of chum...

[Little Raven]

Seems, uh....extreme, though.

Brigitte Bardot, the 1950s and 1960s film star turned animal rights campaigner, has called on the French government to halt the reported use by fishermen on the island of Reunion of live puppies and kittens as shark bait.

"It is imperative that the government does something to end this practice," she said in a letter to the minister for French overseas territories, Francois Baroin, a copy of which was given to AFP Thursday.

According to Clicanoo, a newspaper in Reunion, a French island located in the Indian Ocean, a six-month-old puppy was found last month with hooks implanted in its snout and one of its legs.

The French Society for the Protection of Animals (SPA) told the daily the dog was the victim of cruel fishermen who attract sharks by throwing puppies or kittens into the water, tied to fishing lines, and wait for the predators to swallow the thrashing animals.

I wouldn't spontaneously think of kitten as the most economical bait ...

But perhaps if residents of Reunion are swimming in them...

 

[Yom]

That's awesome.

 

[CurtSibling]

At least they are not using human babies as bait....Yet!

 

[blindside]

Too bad PETA hasn't taken this one up. Then all our little cute sadists at CFC could come and talk about how they are going to use their cats and dogs for bait just to spite PETA.

 

[Savage Discipil]

Maybe they could use those PETA people.

If cats and dogs are alien species that destroy reunion's environment I say let the fishermen continue.

No thats too far. We'd use stuffed animal puppies and kittens(not stuffed kitties you sicko, fake ones) as bait with big juicy stakes attached to them.

They should feed all the liberals and rednecks to the sharks.

And leave earth to the sane people.

What's your Definition of Redneck do you mean conservative?

There are more dogs and cats in the world than are needed, I know this because of the numerous spay/neuter adds all over the place. This practice gets rid of excess cats and dogs, while helping the fishermen with their livelihood. It is a rather strange practice, but as long as it is economical, I fail to see the problem.

 

[Elrohir]

That's just....strange....

Hehe, that would boil their blood. Hey, maybe we can toss a cow and chicken in with the mix .

Well, you probably haven't seen it, being European, but has anyone seen the Arreseted Development episode where Gob uses sick cats from the pound to try to catch a seal "with the taste for mammal blood"?



(Safe to say it's neither economical nor easy.)

There are also more humans in the world than what is needed.

True, but its easier to use kittens.

Wow....

At least it worked!
