Dogs Used as Shark Bait on French Island
Live and dead dogs and cats are being used as shark bait by amateur fishers on the French-controlled island of Réunion, according to animal-welfare organizations and local authorities. The small volcanic island off Africa’s east coast is bursting with stray dogs—upward of 150,000, says Reha Hutin, president of the Paris-based Fondation 30 Millions d’Amis (the Thirty Million Friends Foundation). Hutin sent a film crew to Réunion this summer to obtain proof that live animals were being used as shark bait. The goal was to expose the practice on the animal rights group’s weekly television show. It didn’t take long for the film crew to find three separate cases, she said. “From then on everyone started to take the whole story seriously and realized it was true,” Hutin said. The rest of the story is in here. (photo from national geographic news website.) |
