Dogs And Cats Being Used As Live Bait.

Dogs, also know as a mans best friend, this is really what's it's come down too. Stray dogs & cats are being skewered on hooks and dragged behind boats as live shark bait. The cruel practice takes place on French-controlled Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean. The reason they prefer to do this act with live dogs and cats is because the blood is fresher than it would have been if the dogs and cats were dead, a shark can smell a drop of blood very easily, even from really far away and in order to catch the shark they use these dogs and cats as LIVE BAIT. This act is dissatisfying and atrocious and should be stopped.The hooks are sunk deep into their paws and snouts, causing them to bleed an enormous amount which ofcourse catches the sharks attention immediately even from miles away. Though apparently restricted to a few amateur fishers,this practice is know seen as a problem on the French controlled islands, which teems with stray dogs and cats. Local authorities, fined a man earlier this year for hooking a puppy, and the French Government has issued a statement condemning the illegal practice.Earlier just this year, it became illegal for fishing boats to carry any live or dead dogs or cats,it's a pleasure to know in this part of the world this is being looked down upon.This still doesn't stop them from doing this, in other parts of the world.This is incredibly unfair to those stray dogs and cats that deserve a home and deserved to be loved and kept safely. The people doing the act is thankfully decreasing, but people all over the world need to step up for this injustice to completely stop.
