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.”
