I caught the last 15 mins of the episode last night. Those guys are nuts. They pulled a female great white onto a platform, tagged/ photo’d and took blood samples. The thing got stuck when they put it back in 15 mins later and once she pryed herself loose I was waiting for her to lash out at the diver in the water next to her. All the more power to them for doing that work but they are nuts to do that stuff. It will be interesting to see what they discover on their migration to someplace between SA and Hawaii.

These men act as cowboys–and if familiar with Japanese whaling–with the same goal, and that is not conservation of the betterment of the animal.
Great White population is unknown, no estimate, nothing. Yet, they are on red flag alert as ‘endangered’. A fish being hooked, then dragged against its will for hours, placed up on a hard deck out of water for 20 minutes,being stuck with needles, poked and prodded, having an electronic transmitter drilled and lock nutted into its fin-is beyond crude. They dont have the first guess at the damage they are doing to any particular fish captured.
