This is totally unacceptable - live dogs and cats as shark bait - this is animal abuse in the first degree - where are your laws? Dogs and cats are a gift to mankind - not some sort of piece of meat to tie to a hook as bait - I hope the Frence authorities look into this immediately and demand this practice be stopped - stray or no stray they are our treasures and not to be used as bait for sharks - we don't need to be catching sharks in the first place! Take care of your animals!

I am deeply saddened by how these people have the conscience to do something like this to defenseless animals who have no idea what is going on or why they are being put through things like this! We should do the same to them and see what they think of it! I back this 1000% as i have a laborador and couldnt bear to think of another dog or animal going through something as cold and calculated as this. Keep up the hard work!

Please put an immediate stop to this cruel act!! This is totally INHUMANE! Dogs and cats are domestic pets and not to be used as baits. These "fishermen" should be punished and jailed. Or better yet, let them have a taste of how it feels to be fed to sharks. Please can the relevant authorities put an immediate end to the unnecessary pain and suffering of these innocent and adorable animals. PLEASE ACT NOW!!!

To the Government/ Person of Authority,
This IS a serious offense, please step up precautionary measures to stop ALL of such practices - LIVE OR DEAD dogs or cats as it is simply inhumane - WRONG! Cats & dogs are not bait, that is why they are pets & people keep them because they are affectionate & they have feelings like you & I. Please ensure utmost efforts to PUT AN END TO THEIR TERROR, FEAR, PAIN & SUFFERING - PLEASE!
Thank you for your kind attention.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Tina Knickman

I am so glad that somebody took the matter serious. I am highly disguisted in the humankind and most of all dissapointed. How can the people be so cruel? I have never thought that I would see the day that people can do such brutal thing. The aminals have just as much right to living as the humans. Just to think that they go through such a cruel thing to own a trophy to say that they have won for the biggest shark they cought. If I would ever meet such a person I would get out of my mind. I am deeply ashamed of the humanrace. Im a person who won't do any harm to aminals, howcome not all of the people can be like me? If there will be more people who care, the world will be a better place for any living and breathing creature. I think that those people should be punnished with life in jail, even worse get the death penalty. People mustn't kill the living for any reasons!!!!!! But thanks to those who help the animals. I appretiate it deeply!!!!

>:O People, this is just absurd! Dogs and cats and animals are meant to be taken care of by men. It says so right smack in the Bible. This is just insane. Humans are so inhumane and sick. I am getting teared up and angry typing right now. Bait for sharks? You shouldn't catch sharks anyways! I'm also against finning, and this all needs to stop. RIGHT NOW! If you want to catch sharks so bad, why don't you strap yourself to a hook and fly uncomfortably against the salty currents?! Gosh, people.. come on!
