PT Barnum, the world's greatest showman once said, "there's a sucker born every minute."In the frozen shark world Vic Hislop remains PT Barnums top student.
For most of shark community the announcement of Vics latest acquisition of a 1200kg, 5m hammerhead estimated to be close to 40 years old surprised few.
Rumors that he intends to display this animal in a frozen Disneyesque state for paying customers disgusted many including us. Vic remains a perfect example of 1970's shark mindsets where animals are to be killed, and ironically displayed and promoted as the oceans ultimate killers.
Has the world evolved in the understanding of sharks since the 1970's? Most definitely.
Has Vic Hislop evolved or is he, like his shark show, frozen in time?
