Conservation groups say graphic photos of sharks left to die on drumlines should convince the Queensland government to finally ditch its controversial culling program.
Humane Society International and the Australian Marine Conservation Society on Monday renewed their calls for the immediate removal of 173 drumlines on the Great Barrier Reef.
They released photos showing two ensnared tiger sharks and a bull shark, which were hooked and left to slowly die off the coast of Magnetic Island.
HSI Head of Campaigns Nicola Beynon said the photos left no doubt that the animals met a 'cruel' end.
