The head of a decapitated shark was thrown on a campaigner's car when a fishing competition turned ugly as a bitter feud got out of hand.

The annual White Sands Fishing Competition ended with police being called after the head was found on an environmental activists' bonnet.

The car was allegedly graffitied after objections were raised to the competition, which sees the creatures captured and often killed.

Held in Jervis Bay, New South Wales, Australia, the tournament is still legal despite some sharks hooked being listed as endangered.

There have been called for it to be banned and things took a turn when the head of one of the butchered sharks was dumped onto the vandalised vehicle.
 

The Jervis Bay Game Fishing Club hit out at those who attacked the unnamed campaigner's car.

In a statement, they say that they did not condone vandalism and said the police were now looking into the matter.

"It came to our attention that the administrator who posted the video online were the subject of vandalism to their trailer and vehicle," the statement said.
"JBGFC are shocked and disgusted that these events took place and would like the people responsible held to account."

Environmental activist Kate Ahmad recently started a petition calling for an end to shark fishing competitions.
