> MIAMI (AP) – The body of a shark was left lying in the middle of downtown Miami street after two men tried to sell it to several fish markets.
> The men apparently carried the five or six-foot-long fish around on the city’s Metromover downtown train, prompting calls to police.
> News footage Tuesday night showed the dead animal in the street with police officers and cruisers nearby. Two stations reported that a pair of men had tried to sell the animal to at least three fish markets for around $10.
> Rob Orta, an employee at Casablanca Fish Market, told television station WSVN that the men offered his business the shark.
> “But we don’t buy sharks off the street,” Orta told the station.
> Wildlife officials later determined the animal was a nurse shark. The case could result in misdemeanor charges of improper killing and disposal of an animal and selling a shark without a license.
> One resident of the area where the shark was dumped said he didn’t know what was going on at first.
> “It was a relief that it was a shark,” said Keith Smith. “When I first saw it, I thought it was a body because of all the shootings that have been going on.”
