Is that news site part of the Onion network? Who else would poke such fun at the current situation there. "Hold my beer and watch this!" Sounds like a redneck.
Here's another along those lines: Lawyers Only Ones Visiting Sharm el-Sheikh

Rumour control - they are the only two sharks that have been killed. The photo shows one mako and one juvenile Oceanic White Tip. There has been no mass slaughter of sharks in the area.
The dead sheep theory is accurate - they really were thrown overboard and the vessel in question may be prosecuted. Colleagues of mine saw them floating and bloated in the water. Also I re-iterate - it is not the first time that animal carcasses have been dumped overboard here.
The female OWT possibly responsible is still in the area, and there is no mandate to kill her. She has been seen by divers and has caused no other problems apart from curiously circling around. I have not seen it personally but whe has been seen a few times by my colleagues and by other dive centres displaying what is normal OWT/diver interaction. She's curious, hangs around, but in the case of my colleagues at least, has not even approached for a bump, which they are known to do.
That's the truth as far as I can relate it

Those are not my images. String posted those images.
Your question asking where to find information suggesting that many sharks have been killed was not directed to me. Your question was directed to Tigerman. I quoted String's post because he was our other man-on-the-ground who initially told us that at least 6 sharks had been killed right at the beginning. The part of the post that I should have directed your attention to was:
