I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. I received an open letter recently from Dr Dirk Schmidt, founder of the White Shark Advocacy Group. The letter is below, some of the key points:
"The program has no educational or conservation value"
"The handling of released sharks leaves much to be desired, as some sharks are gaffed before release, some in their sensitive gill or stomach areas, posing valid concerns of their survival"
"The program makes a mockery of the fact that sharks globally are under enormous pressure and face severe threats to many populations from over-fishing."
If you are a shark scientist and want to help, send us your letter or one liner, and we will forward to NBC and to the advertisers. Tell us why Shark Hunters is wrong, send me a PM through twitter of FB.
NBC likes to taut that they have scientists that support the program, primarily Dr Greg Skomal of the Atlantic White Shark Advocacy Group. We would like to really know his opinion (we don't believe NBC), please tweet this: http://goo.gl/uz0vDL
