They typically sedate them, grab their fins, stamp the tag into them and then let them go.

add in the idea that if they do it with a needle that rests out on the skin...sharks don't have the hands/feet to yank that out...unlike most mammals.

your dog gets a thorn in him skin, he's going to scratch that shit out. A big cat, same thing.
