Sharks Taught to Hunt Alien Lionfish

You sure I can eat this thing?
"At the beginning, the divers just killed lionfish and fed sharks with them to get the sharks to develop a taste," said photographer Antonio Busiello, who observed the process in action.
"In the second step, to have the sharks develop an interest in hunting them, divers started to leave wounded lionfish so that the sharks could taste them. After a while, [the sharks] did start to hunt them and go after them."

Cool, now lets teach them to eat starfish, jellyfish and illegal immigrants...
I guess since we are targeting . . . How about targeting lame Democrats, ignorant Republicans, the tea baggers, croaker soakers, gill netters, israel, fox news, Rush, Hannity, the Pebble Mine investors, drug users and dealers, global warming skeptics, religion (except mine), the lefties, the righties, the middlers . . . Crap, teach them to everyone! Oh crap I forgot! We are killing all our oceans, so let's just stick with the illegals. With all the others, the sharks might poison themselves. Hey Miguel, here's a glass of vinegar and water to fill yourself up on. No need for thanks complements of the "Clean Frakkers Association"!
illegal immigrants... and drug dealers.... that woulld be boss
