Sharks Love
The French Magazine "Le magazine des voyages de pêche" in its 56th edition, brought up an amazing news: An astonishing love story.
"Arnold Pointer a professional fisherman from south of Australia set free from a certain death a big female White Shark that was caught in his fishing nets.

If you want to have a look the powerpoint can be found here (spyware and virus free):

Tom, apparently its a hoax. That's why I sent it to you. Thanks for the plug!
Hi Mike
Thanks for the comment - glad you liked the blog! I had a look at yours and liked what I saw.

Thanks again for the powerpoint. After a bit of research I found out that the pictures are indeed real, but were taken by South African scientists and not a fisherman with a shark crush :-)
