Prosecutors allege “lisharkman” used illegal gear, including a drone, to target a huge male white shark named “AAron” on Cape Cod, using his tracked location.

However, post-release mortality in land-based shark fishing is exceptionally high, averaging ~20% across 4 species within 6 hours and ~30% after 6 weeks. (Binstock et al., 2023) White shark PRM in LBSF has not been studied.1102445.5K

But they never call the police. Could it be because petco knows it’s illegal to throw live animals in the trash? Cross your fingers for this poor girl. At the best, she will get better and live a happy life. At the worst she won’t die alone in the dark, in a tiny plastic coffin.027030

- spencer 🦈@Unpop_ScienceThe thing about animal commodification industries is that they kill humans. Occupational death and slavery are rampant in meatpacking and commercial fishing. The calories and protein lost in the metabolic conversion of animal feed could feed every starving human on Earth.Skye :3 @skyehasanideaI hate this gendre of dark extreme woke yes we are more important than animals if I had to pick between saving a dog and a human id pick the human1251912.1K
- spencer 🦈@Unpop_SciencePosts @Unpop_ScienceOf course there is objectively no reason that we are superior to any other animal, but the idea that we are forced to choose between them is simply false. Our choice is between gluttony and animal torture and the well-being of humanity and other animals alike.2532387
