Today's collaboration with Cellar Image of the Day brings us this gruesome yet fascinating image of a whale shark being sliced for its meat.
Daily Mail has the story:
More likely to eat than be eaten, this giant whale shark was caught off the coast of China by hardcore fishermen who managed to harness the ten-metre, eight-tonne whopper.

Remember much of American and european culture is towards cherishing animals, and I see a lot of people backing their culture, but the Japanese culture is towards enjoying gods gifts in animals. A polar difference I must say, and many people can not come to terms with that.
I say, Respect other cultures, don't condone them if you do not know what they are about.
