Shark Tournament’s Sharp Critics Say No Intent to Taint Town

There’s a red herring mixed with the Oak Bluffs sharks, and it’s time for us to get on deck and do some sorting.

The Humane Society of the United States last month released a video shot by an undercover investigator at the most recent Oak Bluffs Monster Shark Tournament. The video, together with the accompanying letter, showed that the tournament is, in addition to being a cruel spectacle, quite probably a major illegal gambling operation. It is one more reason why the tournament should be shut down forever.
