Annisa,
Two men visiting a beach in Florida recently spied a black-tip shark nearby, minding its own business and doing no harm to anyone. They decided this was a ripe opportunity to abuse the animal. So they dragged it ashore, as it wriggled and whipped its tail, trying to get back to safety. Then they gleefully stabbed the shark right through its head. Even worse, the poor shark did not die immediately. So they inserted the kitchen knife multiple times, over and over, laughing while they watched the shark writhe in agony. It was clear they took pure delight in torturing this innocent creature to death and watching it suffer. The helpless animal could not escape — so it lay there, with no choice but to endure.
The men were so proud of their violence, they took video. The recording shows that other beachgoers were horrified, and at least one woman desperately begged the men to stop. But they carried on anyway. Despite this heinous cruelty, Florida authorities have no plans to prosecute these sadistic perpetrators. Why? Because apparently Florida does not have sufficient laws to protect sharks from such cruelty. On the contrary, it allows humans to "harvest" black-tip sharks however they choose.
Not only is this heartbreaking, it's also bad for our oceans and our Earth. Sharks are so important to preserving a healthy ecosystem, researchers refer to them as a "keystone species." Yet they're under threat from many directions — overfishing, climate change, habitat destruction, and slaughter like this. In fact, scientists now consider black-tip sharks "near threatened," which essentially means they're verging on endangered status. We must protect sharks while we still can! Sign the petition to tell Florida lawmakers to finally pass laws to ban shark killing in their state. They must also charge these two men with animal cruelty!
