So some bods finally photograph a giant squid in it's natural environment. And how do they achieve this feat? With hooks and bait.

Nice one.

I hardly call a giant squid struggling to escape from a home-made mace and ripping off one of it's own tentacles "natural".

"Kubodera and Mori took more than 550 images of the giant squid as it made repeated attempts to detach itself."

So they sat watching it struggle, filled with glee at what they'd done? I know millions and millions of fish are caught and eaten daily, but a marine creature we know nothing about should be approached with more care, in my opinion. Just seemed a bit cruel to send down a nice treat, then fill the treat with hooks, to photograph a creature we know nothing about. Pah, what do the Japanese know about marine conservation?

That's an understatement. I think the people behind that should be fed to sharks.

These kind of people make me want to vomit. On them.

I think this is worse, though... [URL]http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2005450117,,00.html[/URL]

It's the only link I could find with a picture.

Sick.

F-ing Japs, still have that pre-war empirical attitude within them.

The deep sea is probably the scariest place on earth.

Like night, but with lots of tentacles and luminous freaks.

Much like Cardiff!

Even though it's only a giant squid you've got to feel sorry for it having to rip off one of it's tentacles to get free. Hardly seeing it being natural is it!?

I bet they're gutted that they didn't kill it. There'll probably be warnings and news reports saying it'll "eat your children" or something.

Crazy people.

There's a Chinese GPS tracking giant panda sex at the moment.

Although that's actually useful.
