Volunteers shocked to find a shark’s head IMPALED on their fence in sick ‘prank’

Marine Rescue NSW volunteers were horrified to find a severed shark head impaled on their fence. 

Upon arriving for duties on Saturday morning, the crew found a mako shark head sitting on the fence at their Shellharbour headquarters.

They posted the photos to their Facebook page with the caption ‘How NOT to treat a volunteer emergency service.

Marine Rescue Shellharbour crews arrived for duty Saturday to find a shark’s head impaled on the base fence. It’s a kick in the guts for our committed volunteers who give up their time to save lives on the water.’

Unit Commander Richard O’Connor spoke to nine.com.au, saying the incident was a daunting shock for his team.

‘We think it was in poor taste. It’s something we don’t need to turn up to when our volunteers put their lives on the line,’ he said.

There’s an extensive boating community in the Wollongong region.
