IDIOTS kill a nurse shark

[deeper thoughts]

That's not right, but it seems people get their feathers more ruffled over animal cruelty vs when a woman gets raped or there is a child abuse case... animal vs human? hmmm

It's an animal people, not right, but at the end of day it's an animal...

Excellent comment..

Thanks for posting the video, Debby

Just so annoying on so many levels - sad, but with a real "Miami Flavor" to the story

First, that it happened

Also, like you could not take one look at it and not know it was a Nurse Shark - dosen't anyone at local stations dive - someone should have been able to identify the shark b/c the reported could not - but at least they reported in the sharks favor, instead of how sad it was these poor unfortunite people who society has shunned were forced to do this and so on.

It really was not their fault - bad behavior never is; always the fault of:

a) Someone else
b) Persons environment - Institutional racism/societal bias
c) Government
d) Parents
e) The school system
f) ADD/AHDC
g) Being a lazy knucklehead too stupid to take advantage of all available positive options instead choosing to waste your life and become a burden to others via making bad choices of your own choosing

Hey, I have novel idea - lets dispose of the vagrants, the bums who - oooops, sorry, lets be politically correct - "homeless" - who did this along w/ the sharks carcass.

I'm so totally sick of these people - they sleep on the streets when they could be in places like the Camillus House - they bother you at intersections - where you can't "escape" - panhandeling with their BS signs "Will work for food" - that's a laugh; offer them a job and see what they say.

And please - I've heard the stories how many of these are mentally ill, and how we don't institutionalize them any more b/c they can be medicated - sorry, we have real problem w/ them in Miami - if your heart bleeds for them, be glad to pay for a 1 way bus ticket to send them to you.

And before any of the bleeding hearts post how terrible and lacking in compassion I am, I'll say this - we contribute (very likely) more than many to various charities so quite to the contrary that we don't believe in helping others - but you need to do at least a little for yourself.

I treat mine with salt, pepper & garlic. This really brings out the natural flavors.

Cutting up shark is easy easy easy. I am not the fish monger that many in this area are but I can cut up a stupid shark. I can also tear down a Stop sign and borrow a match from someone to set some sticks on fire under the bridge to grill up some shark steaks.
Intead they were trying to sell it for cash. Why would they want to sell it for cash if they were homeless and hungry? I propose they were wanting to by drugs or alcohol.

A local homeless and fairly crazy mexican guy lives in the state park mangroves in Fort Pierce. He comes out of the woods when the Recreation fisherman come in and cuts up their fish. He is very good at it and as a fee takes a piece for himself or cash if you wish. He then wanders back into the mangroves to cook it.

HE also gathers the lobster heads and makes soup. This is a homless guy.

The two guys in this story are .......

fisheye view.. yes but you do not drag it around town by the tail until it dies I presume.

Of course there are people on here who pluck poor little lobster from their homes and throw them into boiling water ignoring their screams of pain.

monsters...

What is really sad is the New Caster said the shark was still alive:shocked2: so why didn't someone the police dept, new caster, or someone put the shark back in the water and try to help the poor little guy. Of course that would not have made a sad story and people seem to like those better it seems. I personally like the ones when there is a good outcome.

Or if it couldnt be saved, make sure it was actually dead..

 

[siegelreptiles]

well I for one have found a new rule to live by--I dont buy sharks off the street!

 

[crd_kats]

This is truly a sad story. There were at least 3 people who came forward stating they were solicited and yet, no one got a picture of the "shark salesman" on their cell phones?

And I agree with Becky. How come they didn't try to save the shark?

Maybe they were related?

Oh, having worked with attorneys... uhuh..

What is a New Caster?
