Extraordinary
photographs that revealed a baby humpback whale caught in a shark net on the
Gold Coast could not have been taken under new laws proposed by the Queensland government,
two environmental groups have said.
The baby
whale is seen entangled in the shark net in photos and video released by the
Humane Society International and the Australian Marine Conservation Society on
Tuesday.
The
groups also released images of an endangered baby scalloped hammerhead shark
that was tangled and drowned in a shark net off the Gold Coast on 4 October.
