Jump the shark? Mini-golf beast accused of making animals look like crooks

A 9.5-meter-tall fake shark on a mini-golf course in Brighton has caused a planning dispute due to claims it unfairly portrays sharks as criminals.
The fiberglass shark hangs from a gallows-like structure above a pirate-themed mini-golf hole.
A local objection states the display is offensive because it depicts a vital marine animal as a criminal unjustly slaughtered.
Officials consider the shark installation a contemporary addition that does not harm the heritage value of Brighton's East Cliff Conservation Area.
