A video is doing rounds on social media where a fisherman in Palm beach, Florida has pulled a shark out of water just to be photographed with it. In the full length video, the fisherman can be seen holding the tail of the shark and pulling it out of the water on the beach.
The man can be seen pinning the shark down as the aquatic creature struggles to breath on the land, flapping under his grip. Other people on beach can be seen clicking pictures of the man with shark from their cellphones and cameras.
After sometime, another person drags the shark back into the water but due to the waves of sea, the shark struggles to find it’s way back in to the water.
The fisherman has been facing lot of heat on social media.
Not long ago, in a similar incident, a baby dolphin was paraded across a beach for selfies and was left discarded on the beach after it died.
