A man from Cairns, Kunzhou, said he saw a fisherman brutally kill a young hammerhead shark and throw it back into the water, Radio 7 reported.
Dorian (Ryan Dowling), from Keynes, is reported to have said he saw a fisherman pick up a lovely young hammerhead shark in Palm Bay (Palm Cove), on Tuesday afternoon.
As the fisherman pulled up the little shark and laughed, he took it off, took out a pair of scissors, cut it to the head from the tail, cut the shark in half, and finally threw it back into the water.

Dorian said he had not had time to report everything he had seen to the authorities. When asked if he thought the fisherman`s behavior was cruel, he replied, "of course." he said: "there is no need to kill the shark. Killing young sharks is the wrong thing to do."
Jeddah (Leo Guida) of (Australian Marine Conservation Society), an Australian marine conservation association, confirmed that the shark killed was an endangered Luchi hammerhead shark. At present, the shark is decreasing rapidly at a rate of 86% in Kunzhou waters.
