Did You Hear the One About the Shark Smuggling Priest?
January 24th, 2007 by The Brewmaster
A San Francisco-area pastor who pleaded guilty to helping smuggle young leopard sharks from California to aquariums in Europe and the United States has been sentenced to a year and a day in prison, according to the Justice Department.Kevin Thompson, a Unification Church pastor, was one of six men charged with harvesting thousands of sharks smaller than 36 inches, which are protected by law. In addition to time in the pokey, Thompson was also ordered to pay restitution of $100,000.
Is that in the Bible, that thou can smuggle sharks? I don’t think so, but it’s been awhile since I’ve cracked that sucker open.
