This photo is making the rounds on Facebook today, though the details of the catch seem to be wrong. While a radio station's post claims this pregnant hammerhead was caught recently on St. Simons Island, GA, near the King and Prince, the photo was actually posted by Team Rebel, a group of shark fishermen in Florida, in 2010. Team Rebel claims the shark was released alive, which is always good news. To harvest shark meat, the animal has to be fileted while alive; otherwise the dead animal releases a liquid that taints the meat. Therefore, there is no humane way to get shark meat for consumption. In my opinion, that's nature's way of telling us to eat something else.
