This variety of shark is susceptible to stress. We are very concerned he died as a result of seeing Mr Venables jumping into the tank.

And I'm very concerned that people whose salary is paid with money belonging to honest, employed citizens, have sufficiently empty schedules as to be able to pursue this.

Geez, what do these sharks do in thier natural habitat when a bigger shark swims by, roll over and die? hahahaha These naturalists are such clowns.

This shark belonged to a public aquarium (I don't know if it was tax supported but it undoubtedly served public and scientific purposes), and this kind of shark is relatively rare in captivity and cost a good deal of money to capture and keep alive.

If this "comedian" cannot reimburse the aquarium for the shark, then maybe the proper punishment is to shove him, naked, into a tank of piranha.

Heh. I jumped into a corral naked once, and a horse began crying and killed himself - didn't take two days either ;0)

"Geez, what do these sharks do in thier natural habitat when a bigger shark swims by, roll over and die?" Yes, you are quite correct. This particular shark is also known as the "French Shark" for obvious reasons!! This is a little known fact. I for one am quite impressed with your knowledge in this matter!!!

I can't find a picture of Mr. Venables to support their accusation. Now, if it had been Helen Thomas jumping naked into the tank, I could see their point...

Thank you. If the man's stunt caused the shark to die, he's responsible for his own actions. Unless we all wish to adopt the liberal mantra...

But it never ceases to amaze me how often FR stories regarding the deaths of animals are mocked with enthusiasm.

This was in a tank?

Darn. I was thinking about my week on the Outer Banks...

[Zavien Doombringer]

-- died suddenly two days after Guy Venables jumped into its tank as a publicity stunt at the Brighton Sea Life Centre, southern England.

Died Suddenly? or in two days, which one is it?

The comedian was probably smoking a cig when he jumped in and the shark died from exposure to SHS. Ban all stress now!

I think you have something there SHS is a liller for all sea creatures. I never smoke underwater anymore.

An old girlfriend used to nickname me "Trigger" (blush)...

Are you sure this isn't The Onion?

"post hoc ergo prompter hoc" logical fallacy alert.

The only time I smoke under water any more is when I am wearing my beer goggles! They should pump nicotine into the sharks tank, then he may not be so easily stressed.

Have a good weekend, it's MGD time!

liller = killer. You're right it's Miller Lite time!
