Slaughtered Hammerhead left on Jupiter, FL Dock

[oceanhunters]

looks like a great hammerhead making it illegal to harvest

Looks to be a great hammerhead to me by the size of the head.

Whether the shark was killed legally is something the FWC will have to sort out. The fact that its decapitated head was left on the doorstep of a dive boat well known for providing photo ops of same shark is to me a hate crime and should be prosecuted as such.

Definition: "Hate crime is a category used to describe bias-motivated violence."

So you think this is a hate crime? Reach much?

Using that definition everytime I pass and cut off a slow driver it would be a hate crime because I really do hate slow drivers.

I don't know you, but I have to ask what is your affiliation the dive boat?

I won't even mention that this could have been a coincidence that the head was left where it was. Because that would he crazy.

In The Godfather, the mafia put a horse head in a guy's bed to send a message. Perhaps the Florida mafia has different conventions?

...but I may be reaching a bit.

"cut off a slow driver" is not even close to being "bias-motivated violence" and is a terrible example.

From what I've seen, Randy is a strong supporter of a federal ban on shark harvesting which has many commercial shark fisherman up in arms. I don't think jet is reaching much at all.

It should not be hard to... say.... go to facebook or a spearfishing forum and see if there is anything he has done to instigate this. Not that I support any illegal fishing but I see this as hilarious almost surreal,like a caricature of the Deadliest Catch meets The Godfather.

The following species of Hammerhead shark (or any part of any of the following species) are prohibited from all harvest, possession, landing, purchase, sale or exchange:

Great hammerhead (Sphyrna mokarran)
Scalloped hammerhead (Sphryna lewini)
Smooth hammerhead (Sphyrna zygaena)

Can anyone positivly ID the Shark in the above photos?

Great hammerhead (Sphyrna mokarran). The nearly straight anterior margin (front edge of the head when viewed from above) is the give away.
