Its the selfie fetish locals have. They need to change their Whatsapp profile pic every hour. I guess a helpless shark may help the tigres get some action with barrio rats
Shark hauled in off resort beach
Lifeguards at the Punta Cana beach off Hard Rock Punta Cana hauled a blue shark to shore, fearing it would bite swimmers. A video showing the staff with the dead shark has been doing the rounds and has received criticism for the treatment that the shark may have suffered before its death. One expert was critical that the shark was killed here when in other countries great steps are being taken to preserve the sharks. A report in Fox News says that the blue shark rarely attacks humans. From 1850 to 2013, a blue shark has only been involved in 13 attacks on humans, four of them fatal.

the world population is getting dumber and dumber....the smart gadgets is helping to accelerate this
process. smart phones, smart tv, smart key.....
100% agreed. In some countries now a days you can literally sit for 24 hours a day and watch
television shows about shooting ducks, people pawning their goods or folks digging through other
people's storage units. Some parts of this world are more screwed up then people want to admit.
jajjajajaaaaaaa your comment is hilarious!!! and so true....
sadly because of the stupidity and egoism of the tourists and the lifeguards this poor creature had to die.

Sharks should not be around Punta Cana..
Sharks should not be around Punta Cana
That's not the STUPIDEST thing I've ever heard.... just the STUPIDEST thing I've heard this week. (I hear lots of stupid things.) Maybe we should give the sharks ocean charts so they know where to go and where to avoid.
If you want to swim without sharks, or crabs, or stingrays or anything else that lives in the ocean, find a salt water pool and enjoy yourself. People whose first instinct is to kill everything that scares them should not be allowed to go to the beach.
I detect a double standard here, you mean to tell me it's ok to go hunting blue marlins and take pictures with them but a shark that comes close to the shore where there are hundreds of human beings, children, should not be removed to protect lives? a nice little blue shark which according to experts is not threat to humans, but how many marine experts are there among us? so I should let my 5 year old child swim with the nice friendly blue shark? what should the lifeguards have done? nicely ask "it" to move away or maybe the hotel should have asked swimmers to just ignore it and stay in the beach because it's just a "nice and harmless little blue shark"?
