Our reading
The fisherman allegedly reeled in a great white shark and posed with it on a beach, which is the kind of thing that makes you wonder if he was trying to get a better Instagram shot or just a better legal defense. The shark was tagged, which is how the authorities found out, and now he’s facing charges that include ‘cruelty to animals’ and ‘mechanical deployment of bait.’ It’s like he tried to do a nature documentary but forgot to check the script. The real kicker? He was using a drone, which is probably the only time a shark ever got a front-row seat to its own downfall.
