one of those news stories

The Sun is reporting that shark fisherman on the French island of Reunion are using live dogs as bait (WARNING: The picture, if real, is graphic). This sort of story smacks of being made up sensationalism..."bat boy falls in love" sort of bullshit (or, my favorite, the rosy reid thing). If it is true, however, I hope that the Sun is right agian in it's report that the guy has been caught (just for the record, his punishment should being dragged behind a boat by his testicles as shark bait...just my opinion there).

EDIT:

This article (in French) from the island supposedly reports that arrests have been made, which seems to suggest that the story may me true after all (it'd be nice if anyone who knows French could give me a summary of the article). In any case, Snopes is saying that they don't know if it's tue or not...and they're pretty good at calling fake stories pretty quickly if there's no truth to them at all (which seems to suggest that this does happen no and then -- as they seem to conclude themselves).
