The Aardvark’s Tongue

This weekend marked the third annual Oak Bluffs Monster Shark Hunt - American sport at it’s finest. Sure there were the usual small minded people that would like to stop the event, but for the most part the event went off without a hitch with the boat Waterbury hauling in a 399 pound Thresher-Shark.

In a report over at Boston Herald.com, Gregory B. Skomal, senior marine fisheries biologist with the state of Massachusetts shark research program said the annual hunt is one way the federal and state divisions of fisheries and wildlife keep tabs on the overall well-being of the shark population. That’s the kind of conservation thinking we like. Why theorize about animal populations when you can just cull a few and be darn sure of their numbers.
