Live baits for sharks

Another issue that is very important to us and that we discussed with the minister remains shark fishing in the Reunion Island. A local custom consists in going shark fishing with dogs used as live baits.
Last September, a dog came back to its owner in a very sad state. It had run away the previous night and came back the next morning with a hook planted in its muzzle.
.................

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.

"We don't see that every day, but it's not the first time, either," Marie-Annick Chantrel, the vice-president of the Reunion branch of the SPA, told Clicanoo. "We've already seen cats six or seven months old with hooks in them."

Actually, it's common to beat or burn the dog first to get adrenalin into the meat. That's supposed to be good for 'virility'.

Jumping Jesus Christ on a Pogo-Stick, I thought everyone knows to kill the hookers prior to placing them in your trunk.
