friend, this shark was accidentally trapped into the fish net,that fisherman was not intended to catch it..
that shark was dead on the spot when it get trapped. Fisherman forced to drag it to the shore to untie it.

For the poor fisherman, a fish net is far more valuable than the shark.
The villagers do not know the whale shark is an endangered species. While the person knew this was holding the camera and keep silence...
