Mission #3 - Dale Miskovich will be in a shark tank during shark feeding time tomorrow night at 7pm at Big Al's Aquarium Services on MacLeod Trail. He must remain in the tank until the feeding time is over.

With the pressures facing shark population in general, we don't need to perpetuate harmful stereotypes. Instead we need to promote respect, education, and conservation.

Making a cheap trick out of a ~24" shark hardly qualifies as such. What safeguards are in place to protect the shark from stress? What about the other inhabitants? Even with the safeguards in place to the animals, in the end this is nothing more than a cheap publicity stunt.
