Apparently it caused 500 pound's worth of damage to the boat thrashing about.

Oh well, they can repair half the damage with the money they got for it.

Hmmm. That'd sort the wheat from the chaff.

Harrods has a shark displayed in their fish section a few weeks ago
I bet they would have paid more than 255 pounds

I'd love to see one of those in Cornwall, the only shark I saw in the UK was a cat shark

these sharks are so rare in our waters, and on one of the few times one appears, the poor bugger ends up dead. i am sure that it was accidental, and for sure, if they had put it back it would have died a slow painful death. The bit I find difficult to swallow is the apparent pride they have in killing such a rare and beautiful creature.
