Dogs as shark bait

Piper Asked by harleyrider 3 months ago, 12 answers.

Have any of you heard of this before?? It just came across my ears the other day so I pulled up and searched info on the Reunion Island.
It is just sick.

Did you actually read the article? The photo is purported to be a fake, and the practice of using dogs as shark bait 'are generally dead animals picked up on roadsides.'

What's sick about using a dead animal to lure in fish? That's more than the nightcrawlers get.

that is just a sad sad article...from my understanding they generally (meaning not always) used dead dogs, but is does say they used unwanted strays too...I don't see anything fake about that poor dog with a hook thru its snout.. sad ...I cant believe people could be so cruel

I read the link and yes a few fishermen are using both dead and live dogs as bait.
People are sick and many view animals as less than a blade of grass.
Have you looked up the plight of the raccoon dogs in China...skinned alive to make coats sold in stores across our country...

Again, there is nothing in that link that verifies live dogs are being used as bait. The only thing that comes close is that strays are culled. Fishermen on the island use dog meat on hunting platforms. They do not drag live dogs behind boats on hooks.

And condemning a culture because their attitude towards animals differ from yours is painfully ethnocentric. Affection for dogs is largely a western attitude and is not shared the world over. Affection for a certain type of animal is culturally ingrained; it is not a universal moral truth. We protect dogs but eat cows. In India, you would be a monster for doing so. So please refrain from throwing too many stones.

mikeh - I am a vegetarian and do not condone cruelty to any living creature. I do not believe or support cultural cruelty and do not believe it as an excuse for such.
Finding fault in another's treatment of animals does not imply or state that the U.S. is guilt-free in it's treatment of animals. Most of my answers regarding animal treatment refer to the horrible factory farming that occurs here.
Also, I am not talking about affection for animals. I am talking about the humane treatment of animals.
Humane respect has no boundaries and transcends borders and cultures.

I also read that they will hook there nose and paws and keep them like that for a day or so, so that they bleed out and become more attractive to the shark.

Dogs and humans alike both attract sharks the way they swim make electronic pulses in the water which the shark picks up
