I feel like the Indian in the old 70's commercials about litter when I see things like this.

Couldn't get it to play here unfortunately.

For anybody else that cannot get the video to play, this is the same story (I believe) without the video.

What' so "so wrong" about it? It was already dead and they pulled it from the water. I enjoyed the "sea creature" video better.

I have a pretty good feeling the fisherman caught the thing vs. retrieving an already dead carcass. Having spent some time looking a fishing methods on the Indian Subcontinent - fishing is not a sophisticated endeavor, and meat that is warm to the touch is much preferred vs. refrigerated fish/meat. Heck, for a small fisherman this is a bonanza day vs. small catches of Bombay Duck.

Can't say I like it though. But then again, I saw entire families begging in the streets too. I found abject poverty so much more distressing.

I don't think Muhammad Dilawar got his full share of Rupees, nor did Qasim. Bait and switch me thinks!
