        When I see animal cruelty like this, I immediately think "serial killer behavior". Glad these barbarians are being charged. Hopefully law enforcement & family members closely monitor them for years to come. Wouldn't put it past them to continue abusing animals AND people.

        oh please, is this really footage sickening?! Not only do I support inhumane fishing practices, I also TOTALLY support the "it-wasn't-me" attitude of everyone on the planet that uses plastics that end up in in the ocean. #fuckthesea #draintheocean #cmel

        Why is it ok for sharks to terrorize human but when we return the favor it's a felony?
