The New Zealand Department of Conservation is investigating a "very unusual event" after a juvenile Great White Shark was found killed, for what appears to be its meat.

"This act is illegal on a number of accounts [including] killing of a protected species and being in possession of parts of a white shark. Some sharks didn't survive being released and Duffy said they probably saw about a dozen dead Great White Sharks wash up on the beaches or caught in nets a year.The numbers of greate white sharks in our ocean are decreasing and iis listed as vulnerable and migratory under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 in Australia.
