Oh, Floriduh!
Apparently it’s the thing now for fishermen in florida to target pregnant bull sharks so that they can catch the biggest ones for weight records in some macabre dick measuring contest.
And apparently this is legal - it’s specifically ~finning~ that’s not legal, even though they both end up with dead sharks and shark pups!
This is horrendous and wasteful! Killing something without intending to eat it or without the need to eat is wrong. Killing is never sport - what is wrong with people!?!

Targeting pregnant Sharks in Florida!
Left to die
This is beyond disgusting. Humans really are the most dangerous animals out there…
And people wonder why the endangered species list grows every fucking year.
what the fuck why would you do this?
GDI, home state.
But… but the poor babies…
DAMN IT, FLORIDA! You may be my birth-state but, fuck me sideways, what is with all of the poor decisions lately?!
Fuck my home state. Like our fishing laws mean almost nothing to those who fish regularly around here. I’ve seen videos of classmates kicking and punching a nurse shark they caught one night
this is terrible :c nurse sharks are gentle animals and don’t deserve that. no animals does >_<
people have lost their humanity
WHAT THE FUCK
YOU’VE GOT TO BE SHITTING ME
THIS IS JUST AS BAD IF NOT WORSE THAN FINNING
FUCK YOU FLORIDA
Does anyone have that gif of bugs bunny cutting Florida off from the U.S.?
I DON’T BUT I SURE AS HELL CAN FIND IT!
This is terrible. Hunting and fishing should only be done if you plan on eating it and the population is high enough that the ecosystem won’t be negatively effected.
Not only are they doing this for the sake of measuring it (they aren’t even eating it) but targeting pregnant ones will cause a massive drop in the population which will have adverse effects on the biome.
Now I am all for hunting and fishing but ONLY when it’s done properly. These people need to be arrested or have their hunting privileges revoked or something.
