Rosie O'Donnell under fire for posing with dead hammerhead shark

[Doomsday101]

Rosie O’Donnell has earned the ire of some environmental critics for a series of photos featuring the talk show host and her family posing on a boat with a variety of catches – including a dead hammerhead shark.

“Right now sharks are the most endangered animals around,” marine conservationist Erik Brush told South Florida’s Sun Sentinel. “This is basically an endorsement. It sends the message that it's an OK activity–and this is not an activity that we want celebrities endorsing.”

It's easy. One is a shark and the other one is a whale.

environmentalists need to quit thinking the way they'd represent something is the same way others would see it or care.

you can't swing a dead cat in this country anymore without offending someone.

You've just offended me with your insensitive remark...

I some what agree. I think often times these groups go overboard like most organizations that are pushing an agenda. I like much of the NRA but there are some stances they take that I feel go overboard.

As for environmentalists I see them no differently, I think people should be made aware of species that are endangered or standing up to cruelty to animals but often the good messages gets over whelmed by some off the wall crud they start spewing

You think that's bad? They get really pissed if you hit them with it.

 

[jnday]

The word posing should never be used in the same post as Rosie .

 

[YosemiteSam]

The question is, did Rosie catch the hammerhead shark and kill it, or just stillbirth it?

well this isn't to say that they may have a point in why they're saying "this could be seen as xyz..." maybe it could.

maybe not. just seeing her posing next to a shark - believe me when i say i will go NOWHERE where i run into the danger of seeing her in a bikini or any other form of swimware. so in effect, her doing this kept me from going deep sea fishing anytime soon and i didn't even see the picture.

Oh so by her act she saved more Hammer Heads in the long run. Sacrifice the few for the many? :laugh2:

Good plan!!!

I had no idea that hammerhead sharks were endangered. Would the average person know that? Probably not.

Well, technically, isn't Rosie endangered as well? Since there's only two of her?
