webfact Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Zebra shark, Bull shark alleged to be on menu at Phuket restaurant ,Eakkapop Thongtub The photo of the Zebra shark posted on the Facebook page of ‘Sunshine Sketcher’. Photo: Sunshine Seeker / Facebook The issue came to light when Facebook user ‘Sunshine Sketcher’ posted two pictures along with the message: “The first picture, Death at Karon, Zebra shark was sliced and shown, taken by a foreign tourist on Nov 10,” on his Facebook page last Thursday (Nov 16). The message also ready: “The second picture shows a Bull shark on sale at the same restaurant but at a different time. Many tourists visit Thailand especially divers who dream to see Zebra sharks in the ocean. They cannot see a shark in the ocean, but found a breed of marine life threatened with extinction sold in a restaurant.” It continued, “Last year it was pushed by the DMCR that Zebra sharks be protected animals but some experts disagree. While many people conserve precious animals like sharks, rare animals can be found being sold in Phuket restaurants, this clearly shows the lack of care for marine conservation. Please do not support them by eating sharks. Live sharks are more precious than dead sharks.” Full story: https://www.thephuketnews.com/zebra-shark-bull-shark-alleged-to-be-on-menu-at-phuket-restaurant-64775.php -- © Copyright Phuket News 2017-11-20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnkleMoooose Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 With the Chinese arriving you can expect pretty much all of the wildlife to be on the menu. As Prince Philip noted, if it's not a submarine and it swims, and if it's not a table but has legs then the Chinese will eat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thais are rather fond of these atrocities too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLang Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Is the surprise because it's already dead, and they're not eating it while it's still alive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
