       The men pulled the distressed shark out of the water by tying a rope to its tail

       They took their pictures on the shore, before pushing the shark back to the water's edge as a horrified onlooker shouts: "Are you going to put it back now?"

       One group member is seen getting down on their knees to pose with the creature.

       A witness said the incident made her feel "sick to her stomach" as the shark "clearly couldn't breath".

       Asha Reilly told 9News: "These men yelling at us saying 'get out of the water, there's a shark', and we sort of ran out thinking they were joking.

       "They eventually hooked it with a rope - they tied it on its tail - and they just had it on the beach, taking photos.

       "They'd beached it and it clearly couldn't breath.
