Mako tastes better than rhinos.

Great, another mouth breathing moron in our midst.  Makos are more rare than rhinos, SMH

well he has a point. if you never seen the ocean before and only stay on dry land they are more rare than a white rhino. now if he said they were more rare than a 18" fluke that would be saying something

Just imagine the horror:

 

The shark was then cut open and gutted. They decapitated the shark and the jaw was put in a special bag for trophies.

 

'What we have here is much more worse than Cecil the lion. We have competitors killing lots of threatened animals for sport.
 

He filmed the competitors using knives and winches to dismember the sharks, sorting the remains and removing the heads.

I can't think of a better use for a shark than gutting and dismembering it for food and trophy.  Let's introduce the U.N. official to a great deal we have going on piss bags.
