http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/03/girl-dead-shark-photos_n_5084260.html

Marine wildlife experts in Australia issued a stern warning to beach goers after photos of a teen posing with a dead shark came to light.

The girl, who has not been identified, was among several people who came to check out a copper shark that washed up on Marcoola Beach, north of Brisbane on Wednesday morning.

She is shown straddling the dead, 10-foot shark in two photos published by the Sunshine Coast Daily. The photos proliferated on social media:

Although plenty of people were fascinated by the shark, wildlife experts are warning people to keep their distance, even if the shark looks dead.

"The seasonal migration for the species of shark is in March and April, and they migrate from New South Wales so it is possible that it was migrating and possibly got washed onto the beach in high tide," Underwater World Sea Life Mooloolaba fishes curator Kate Willson said.

If the animal has just washed up on shore, Willson explained, there is a chance that it could still be alive.

So they're actually warning you not to touch living sharks

also, why do the photos look like they are from a 1997 webcam

 

[ItIsOkBro]

Don't touch dead anything.

 

[pje122]

This makes my blood boil.

really...? Is it a jealousy thing?

 

[Camp Lo]

This makes my blood boil.

Why? It's not like that one lady caught riding an endangered manatee. Fucking shark's dead.

 

[renitou]

This makes my blood boil.

At least this person is inflicting her stupidly on a non-living thing, rather than putting her energies toward interacting with entities that can still think, feel, or be affected in any way by her actions.

 

[Neuromancer]

It's all cartilage either way.

 

[The Lone Courier]

That 2nd pic posing.

 

[HarryKS]

I can tell you one thing. That is not a 10 footer.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

Why are people upset? She didn't kill the shark nor did she do anything illegal. The warning seems to keep people from trying to do the same stuff with live animals.

 

[Messi]

Why? It's not like that one lady caught riding an endangered manatee. Fucking shark's dead.

I just wouldn't take pictures sitting on anything that was dead. I suppose I respect animals too much.

 

[Lulubop]

RIP Sharky kun.

 

[Cloud Strife]

What an interesting world we live in.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

she caught whatever killled the shark

 

[ZiZ]

sharks think they can come on land and start stealing our women!

I'm convinced that every picture on the internet has to go through a pixel filter to get approved. In the year 2050 we'll finally uncover el chupabigfoortness monster and it'll still only be a blurry picture of the creatures tail despite having it in captivity.

Also that shark got game.

 

[Arkos]

So what am I doing with all of these dead sharks then?!

 

[Nakazato]

sharks think they can come on land and start stealing our women!

Lol

 

[Aesius]

I just wouldn't take pictures sitting on anything that was dead. I suppose I respect animals too much.

What about people who take pictures of meals with meat?

Does that make your blood boil too?

 

[pje122]

At least you've admitted you have a problem.
Less focus on animal-respect. More focus on self-respect.

 

[Camp Lo]

I wish I could photoshop this into existence.

I was thinking about the dinner selfies but I gotta respect Messi's viewpoint at least.

 

[terrisus]

Dead sharks get more pussy than me

Yeah, but it's not all fun and games for sharks.
Sound waves travel further underwater.

 

[Messi]

If only shark's could take photos posing with dead people...Actually, That would be a pretty scary world to live in.

 

[TUROK]

I want to hug a shark now.

 

[antonz]

Yeah the real concern is

"Oh Cool Dead shark. lets pose with it"

Shark jerks its head around and chomps a leg off.

 

[Ekdrm2d1]

lol..

This gone be good.gif

 

[styl3s]

Why? It's not like that one lady caught riding an endangered manatee. Fucking shark's dead.

So you would be ok if i went up to a dead dog and propped it up like i was fucking it or riding it like a horse? Or doing the same with a cat?

LOL I wouldn't give a damn. Are you serious?

Good to know that you are a person i wouldn't associate with.

Sure why not?

Why would you not pick up a dead dog in the street and act like you are riding it like a horse? I don't know, maybe because should have more respect for yourself? It takes a real piece of shit to take the time out of their day to do that kind of thing.

To me, what she's doing is more or less equivalent to this.

It is absolutely nothing like doing this and you know it.

 

[Napoleonthechimp]

If that Shark is 10 feet long

Spoiler

(it isn't)

then the girl must be over 8 foot tall

Spoiler

(she isn't)

[Camp Lo]

Would you be ok with let's say someone posing with a dead dog? dead cat?

LOL I wouldn't give a damn. Are you serious?

This is my issue with it.

Dead animal is a dead animal, it's all grody.

 

[flaxknuckles]

Oh don't worry as long as it's dead you are free to sit on it or pose it. Sure it's just a dead animal.

It is just a dead animal. Don't worry, the sharks won't get their feeling hurt by this.

 

[Professor Lich]

This is how shark-flu starts...

 

[Messi]

It is just a dead animal. Don't worry, the sharks won't get their feeling hurt by this.

You'd be ok with people sitting on a dead person?

 

[Lazyslob]

Hahaha. That second pic.

You'd be ok with people sitting on a dead person?

Have you SEEN weekend at bernies?

 

[SolVanderlyn]

You should only be allowed to do this if you kill the shark yourself. Call it trophy rights or something.

 

[pulga]

Quite a jump from a dead fish to a dead person.

 

[Camp Lo]

If a whale washed up on shore, I can see (and have seen) people taking pictures of it. That's just the world we live in. I didn't read the girl picking up or manipulating the shark, she just straddled it for a few twitter pictures. Is it stupid? Absolutely. Is it offensive? To me it isn't.

If she were to eat the shark afterwards, would that be OK?
