In early 2000, I was sent TDY to Camp Rilea, OR to help prepare some OR National Guardsmen for a Bosnia deployment. I went running on the beach early one morning, and way up ahead I saw what I first thought was a big rock jutting out of the sand. As I got closer I noticed it was a basking shark's head, about the size of an end table.

That's when I noticed the Orcas splashing about some 2-300 yards off shore.

I heard that the local bar association took up a collection to help the shark.

Professional courtesy, I guess.

I guess it missed the Sharknado and had to settle for the Shark dust devil.

Explain to me the warped psyche of those who would “rescue” a critter which considers the resucers to be prey.

What is it with people’s desire to save absolutely every animal? Deformed puppies, half mutilated dogs, just let them go. A vet asked a friend of mine, when she desired to attempt to save an aging cat hurt by a car; “Ask yourself; Are you doing this for you or for the cat?” 90% of these efforts are self serving.

Cool shark and picture, though.

Poor thing just wanted to die in peace, not have a bunch of hippies poking and prodding it.
