Posted on 7/4/2009 4:41:00 AM

If  you are slightly squeamish then look away now – this wacky protest is not for you. An artist, narked off with the threat of extinction facing the world’s sharks, took matters into her own hands  and there was nothing hooky about this stunt. OMG !!! if you love animal so much there are still alot of ways to show your love, but this way is creepy !!!!!
