Im suprised how angry people are about this. This is an institution trying to expand our knowledge about an animal that is at risk of becoming extinct that we know very little about. This isnt some wealthy jerk who had a big saltwater swimming pool and decided he wanted a pet whale shark! These animals are to be studied to help teach us how to ensure their survival, and if you asked me thats a fine cause to die for, unfortunate as it may in fact be. Where is your outrage for the "Man eating catfish" pictures? That animal was publically chopped up for a reason no better than "just because". Your complaints and anger would be much better directed at countries that are still hunting this animal and drying its parts out to make soup that will give you good fortune or a raging erection.
