I didn't watch the show. I do not know any of the stats. ie; how many boats, what kind of sharks, etc. That being said, I have participated in fishing tournaments. These were "meat fish" tourneys, where you catch food quality species and besides having something for the dinner plate, you may get a chance to win some money. Most tourneys are not wholesale slaughter. With the "big fish" tourneys, there is often a penalty for bringing in a fish that is obviously too small to win. An example of this would be "bringing in a 500 lb blue marlin after somebody has already weighed a grander. I digress...Back to the shark tourn'ey...As long as they abided by the laws (bag and size limits), and the fish were consumed and not wasted, I don't have a problem with it. This may offend the PETA crowd.
P.S. I am not a vegitarian. Before you attack the way that animals are harvested, look at your own diet. Are you consuming animals that somebody else killed? Just because you did not personally shed it's blood, does that make you any less responsible for it's death?
