Pain art: She hangs from hooks to protest sharks being hung from hooks
Brit Alice Newstead, who's had her torso, arms, legs, stomach, and knees pierced because hanging from hooks is her thing, wants you to know that sharks get a worse deal when they're hung (so that their fins can be sliced off for shark-fin soup). Of course there's a photo (Bonus: Gal appears to be enjoying hereself!). Daily Telegraph (London)

Do you ever imagine how sharks would show gratitude for their would-be defenders?
