Caribbean Reef Shark Killed

Despite the Bahamas being declared a shark sanctuary in 2011, their reputation among the local population is less than popular. Many fisherman will kill sharks simply for the sake of killing a shark. Here a Caribbean Reef Shark (Carcharhinus perezi) was killed, decapitated and simply dumped off a fish cleaning dock. No fish, jaws, teeth or anything else were removed.
