Egypt 'starts work on mummifying shark that devoured Russian tourist so it can be displayed in a MUSEUM after removing victim's head, chest and arms from the predator's stomach'

Vladimir Popov, 23, was mauled to death by a tiger shark at Egyptian resort It comes after a 68-year-old was killed by shark at a nearby resort last year

Egypt has started work on mummifying the shark that devoured a Russian tourist so that it can be displayed that it can be displayed at a museum, according to a report.

The body parts of Vladimir Popov, 23, who was eaten alive off a beach at an Egyptian resort, have been found inside the shark that was then beaten to death 'in revenge'.

Popov was circled by the 'meat grinder' tiger shark before he was dragged underwater in Hurghada, as he screamed out: 'Papa, save me!'

On Monday, specialists at the Institute of Marine Sciences and the Red Sea Reserves started the embalming process in Hurghada in preparation for it being placed in the institute's museum, according to Arabic news channel Al Arabiya.

Sources revealed to the media outlet that the authorities were successful in extracting the head, chest and arms from the shark's stomach, while fishermen also managed to recover the other half of the body from the sea at the time of the incident.

Sources told the media outlet that the shark almost ate the victim's entire body, but after it noticed the fishermen's boat approaching, it fled, throwing the lower half into the water.

The fishermen pulled out the lower part of the body and then chased the shark until they were able to catch it and transport it, according to the report.

I know I know, “beautiful animal”, “it’s their home” yada yada… but I think those things should be harvested mercilessly anywhere within 100 miles of resorts. Open season, let fishermen sell the fins to horny Chinamen or whatever.

Tragic. Poor guy.

This is sick.

I hope the family of the poor victim of this shark never learns about this.

More blacks kill people than sharks, should we Round up and mercilessly round up all blacks within 100 miles of Chicago and kill them all?

Seriously, if you are that afraid of sharks instead of broadcasting a stupid opinion, do a little reseach and stay out of the water.

50 years ago dunning/ Kreuger; uncovered the truth about stupid people. Now we are over-run with them and they are in government.

That’s right. Shark’s gotta eat. They don’t think eating is gruesome.

The pyramids have been around way too long and Egypt needed a newer tourist attraction.

Nothing personal Vlad.

There are very good reasons we reduced the large predator populations.

In areas where humans live.

Drones Spot Sharks That Wander Too Close to Busy Beaches

Lidar-equipped drones will be even more effective, but they are pricey.

Swim in a shark’s kitchen, don’t be surprised when you end up as dinner.

Speaking of bears there was a report yesterday that bears had been spotted in two different towns in IL. Not border towns either. Eek. We’re not supposed to have them here.
