| Shark's head cut off to free Australian fisherman | |
| 2008-01-27 | |
| A shark bit an Australian fisherman's leg so tightly on Sunday that fellow fishermen had to cut its head off to free the man. The shark had just been hauled onto a tuna boat which was fishing 130 nautical miles off Australia's northeast coast, when a fisherman stepped on its tail and it bit him. "He was fishing with a reel off a boat and caught a mako shark," said Brian Russell from RACQ CareFlight rescue service. "The shark was three meters in length and 90 kgs in weight. They brought it on deck and the man stepped on its tail. The shark whipped around and latched onto his right calf," Russell told Reuters.
The man, who suffered a bite to the bone of his leg, was airlifted to a hospital and is in stable condition. | |

And here I thought it was one of those hate things requiring some group hugs. I wasn't looking forward to that. As for it being dead, you're right. That hurts me, deeply. I guess we shouldn't respond with violence to violence - and just accept our dhimmitude fate as the main course. Uh, I don't quite know how to say this... Oh, what the hell: Are you clinically insane, or just trolling? Posted by .com 2004-2-11 2:34:16 PM|| Front Page|| Top LOL! PeeDee came close to losing it. Gawd amighty that was funny.
