Rosie O'Donnell is a true outdoorsman. She doesn't believe in hunting with a gun, but when it comes to hooking large fish, she's a real mensch. In fact, just before a new Florida law went into effect on January 1 prohibiting the killing of endangered shark species, O'Donnell and her "children" killed at least four sharks off the Florida coast. The most recent was a twelve foot hammerhead.

I tried very hard not to think of headlines such as "Whale Hooks Shark," but I failed. There does seem to be some sort of cosmic justice in the growing outcry against her from such former allies as PETA and Shark Savers.. Rosie hugs trees and jihadists, but she doesn't hug fish. In fact, she hangs 'em from the highest yardarm, and poses for photos. Now I'm not a member of Lawyers for Equal Treatment for Sharks (LETS), but something just doesn't feel right about Rosie's catch.

Rosie and the family do their fishing with semi-famous Mark "The Shark" Quartiano. Quartiano, like Rosie, loves sharks to death. Ya gotta kill 'em to save 'em, or something like that. Quartiano posted the photo on his website in his spotlight "This Month's Celebrity Angler." Quartiano says "Rosie is a great angler. She's very conservation-minded. We've caught a lot of fish and released a lot of fish. We've also caught fish for eating." Eating fish? What next, eating cows? Nobody asked the shark its opinion of Rosie's conservation-mindedness.

Quartiano was quick to point out that "these conservation guys are hitting the wrong target." They should be going after all those commercial fishermen who collaterally catch hammerheads in their fishing nets. After all, killing sharks by accident is certainly far worse than hunting them down and killing them with a crazed gleam in your eye.

Even the opposition made it clear that O'Donnell hadn't done anything illegal. Well, that's a relief. Her supporters say she is a celebrity known for her philanthropic work, particularly for children, but she should have been aware of the conservation implications of her actions. Rosie loves bioethicists, but she probably missed the position of Yale Professor Peter Singer who believes that severely disabled infants have fewer rights than healthy hammerheads.

Erik Bush is a marine conservationist who started a Twitter and Facebook attack on our dear Rosie. He says: "Right now, sharks are the most endangered animals around. This is basically an endorsement [of sharkicide]. It sends the message that it's an OK activity. And this is not an activity that we want celebrities endorsing." Neil Hammerschlag at the University of Miami's School of Marine and Atmospheric Science chided Rose with: "She wouldn't go out hunting tigers. I don't see her pictured in front of some tiger strung up. Yet these are the tigers of the ocean, they're a top predator and they're in serious decline. Yet we kill them for sport."

I don't have a shark in this hunt, so I'm just doing my best to remain neutral. But in Rosie's defense, there is a shortage in Asia of shark fins for shark fin soup. Hammerheads are considered to have the tastiest fins of all. Without Rosie and celebrities like her, who is going to fill that vital Asian need? Look at that hammerhead's fins, and tell me she's wrong.

One wag has pointed out another benefit of Rosie's skills. It would allow for an all-new regular feature on the Animal Planet Channel--Lesbian Shark Hunters. I thought of Adequate White Whale vs. Great White Shark, but it's probably too wordy.
