UPDATE: YouTube has pulled this video for TOS violations.

The above video is listed on YouTube in the “Comedy” category with the following description, “two idiots go fishing.” I’m not really sure where the comedy comes into play, because the video seems to merely depict a guy abusing a small hooked shark for amusement purposes by swinging it around by its tail and eventually beating it against the boat.

This isn’t an example of sport fishing. This is just another bad example of somebody abusing an animal for amusement purposes. Animal abuse videos are in violation of YouTube’s TOS. If you’re a YouTube user and would like to flag this video for animal abuse, you can do so by viewing the video at YouTube.com and clicking the “Flag as inappropriate icon” and selecting “violent or repulsive content>animal abuse” as the reason.
