Target: Ron DeSantis, Governor of Florida
Goal: Stop the senseless killing and harvesting of sharks, and ensure violators are punished.
In yet another display of human cruelty, recently released footage shows two men dragging a black-tip shark from the water and stabbing the innocent animal in the head with a knife. And, worst of all, they seem to have fun while doing it. This incident, which took place on a beach in Florida, has been deemed “totally legal” by Florida’s Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission public information officer, Chad Weber, even though black-tip populations are on steady decline and are near threatened. Despite the horrifically graphic video and pleasure these two despicable men seem to take in killing the poor shark, there is no chance of prosecution because in the state of Florida, it is 100% legal to harvest black-tip sharks in such a manner.
Currently, humans are responsible for killing an estimated 70-100 million sharks per year. At this rate, sharks will be totally extinct before the year 2040. These animals are not only amazing in their own right, but they also serve an extremely important role in ocean ecosystems. As apex predators, sharks are responsible for helping to regulate the food chain beneath them. If sharks become extinct, our oceans don’t stand a chance.
Sign this petition to demand changes to laws that currently allow the senseless killing of sharks in Florida.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Governor DeSantis,
Recent footage has been released to the public depicting two men violently dragging an innocent black-tip shark from the water, and subsequently stabbing it in the head with a knife. The men involved in the incident, which took place on a beach in Florida, looked rather pleased with themselves as they senselessly killed the poor, unsuspecting animal in what officers have deemed a “totally legal” action.
Worldwide, humans kill an estimated 70-100 million sharks every year. This means that by 2040, sharks–which have ancestors dating back 450 million years–may be completely extinct. And, if sharks–the ocean’s apex predators, helping to control populations of all animals beneath them in the food web–go extinct, we will not be far behind.
We are asking you, Mr. DeSantis, to make changes to current laws that permit the senseless killing and harvesting of sharks throughout the state of Florida.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Fuck DeSantis and Florida! Why the hell are their faces blocked out? Show the assholes! What, you afraid someone’s gonna do something? They deserve it! So sick of these losers getting away with this shit, and even bigger losers not doing anything about it

Explain your self moron

Fuck off ass fuck
LMAO!!!!!
The listing of a shark or any other species as endangered under the Endangered Species Act makes it illegal to harass, harm, pursue, hang, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect the species. Attempting any of these things is also illegal. Here DUMMY see if you can read and comprehend facts and the law in Florida about wildlife . But …you can’t help the dummy LiBTARDS get a brain
Funby. Those videos on Youtube where garbage shoot, pour beer into gills, etc? NO CHARGES FILED. Lying pos.
Aren’t you the party of peace? You sound like a bully to me. Cunt
Who are you addressing? Better not be me or you i will have choice words for you CARLY IS A LYING POS AND I WILL CALL ANYONE OUT WHO LIES.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!
I will ONLY attack someone who is lying. Florida and Texas the WORST states when it comes to animal cruelty laws. These trash who stabbed shark will not be punished and no fines. If you go on Youtube videos regarding cruelty to sharks in Florida and horses in Texas rodeos you will see it WARNING, They are disturbing. And ASPCA go mostly to Florida and Texas and bring animals from puppy mills because puppy mills in those two states are horrific. I have been involved in making animal abuse laws stronger for more than 30 years.CARLY IS MAKING BLATANT LIES ON HERE.
So you think this is acceptable behavior!? No wonder FL sucks!!
Exactly Sara Jane. It is worse than people think. There are contests to kill sharks. $100 for one shark killed.ALL LEGAL.
Who said it’s acceptable????
And Florida sucks how ?
sarajane. Please ignore the lying pos. She has been crying and lying on this site.

You have to see the Youtube videos where trash gilm themselves pouring beer into the gills of a hammerhead shark. NO CHARGES FILED AFTER INVESTIGATION. Even though it is on video. I saw it. Disgusting. All these are in Florida and NO ONE GETS PUNISHED. Common to abuse sharks and happens every day in Florida.
And they go to jail
LMAO!!! Keep lying you pos.NO ONE GOES TO JAIL.
https://www.local10.com/news/local/2022/07/13/controversial-shark-fishing-tournament-draws-criticism-from-activists/

Also LEGAL IN FLORIDUH!! Strapping a live alligator on your car! All on film. Like you said FUCK FLORIDA.
I agree 100% with Lindsay – I couldn’t have put it better myself!
Florida ….what a non compassionate run state!
STOP the violence against sharks! It is not what the Lord wants. Hopefully the other sharks witnessed and take revenge!
Yes why are their evil faces protected!?? Make this a crime that would be punished with maximum jail time and fines! Turn this sad little state around!
Aggravated animal cruelty is defined as causing a cruel death or causing “excessive or repeated infliction of unnecessary pain or suffering” to an animal. Aggravated animal cruelty is a third degree felony, punishable by a prison sentence of up to five years and a maximum fine of $10,000.Mar 30, 2017
WRONG MORON. Hunting sharks is LEGAL in Florida. They have contests.And officials in Florida said these trash did NOTHING WRONG.
Again your not comprehending or reading facts , the author of this petition is 1000 percent wrong
Homework isn’t your wheelhouse is it
NOTHING WRONG?????REALLY?????? They pulled the shark out of the water on purpose and deliberately stabbed him the head for a good laugh or probably so they can brag to their friends on SnapChat. If you think this is ‘normal’ behavior, you better get your brain checked, lady. DISGUSTING!
Law
Sharks are infinitely important to the ecosystem. Accordingly, many species of shark are currently prohibited from harvest, possession or landing in Florida waters.Oct 5, 2020 Obviously you can’t comprehend facts , think , and basically educate yourself because your a moron .. the author of the petition is completely incorrect about animal laws in Florida
Anther dummy LiBTARDS

Wow, you really are a moron if you think that. Maybe the sharks can retaliate on you!

Seriously Florida – is that the best you have – it is “legal” in that state to do this slaughter to animals. Why the hell are their god damn faces blocked out – this is disgusting beyond belief. This state needs to get on board with stopping animal abuse Florida is constantly named in stories about many different types of animal abuse – WTF is wrong with you people – too much sun, too many drinks – what a bunch of god damn losers.
No no
It’s a felony in Florida for abusing animals
This is wrong information on this site
Aggravated animal cruelty is defined as causing a cruel death or causing “excessive or repeated infliction of unnecessary pain or suffering” to an animal. Aggravated animal cruelty is a third degree felony, punishable by a prison sentence of up to five years and a maximum fine of $10,000.Mar 30, 2017
Put these jerks in prison!!
That’s right
Sorry tRumptard. FLORIDA AND TEXAS have the worst laws. There are videos on Youtube where trash are abusing horses and other animals.ALL ON VIDEO.
Well said Carly. I agree with you 100%. Animal abusing scumbags require instigation of the death penalty and nothing less.
Yep in Florida
Unlike the morons that don’t have a clue about zilch and you wonder how they live every day life
In Florida it’s a third degree felony
New Mexico has the worst. Animal laws
How about i give you evidence that these trash will not be punished or given fines? One petition is on Change.org regarding tournaments in Florida for killing sharks for sport. ALL LEGAL And no amount of petitions will change that. Contests take place in Jupitor, Florida. Then there are videos of trash pouring beer into gullets of hammerhead sharks for fun. Go watch those on Youtube.NO CHARGES FILED IN ALL THESE INCIDENTS OVER THE YEARS.
Do not listen to CONservative lying trash on here. Shark hunting contests are LEGAL and officials said the trash who stabbed shark did NOTHING WRONG.They will NOT be punished.

Please do what you can to strengthen animal safety and protection laws. People need to learn empathy for animals too. Teach your children kindness and compassion and make the world a better place for all.
This pointless, senseless extreme cruelty needs to be treated with maximum punishment and also enforced lifetime bans from residing with any animal.
100 % agree with you
FUCKING-UN-ACCEPTABLE! FIGURES. THIS A tRUMP STATE. THAT ORANGE, MASTER OF LYING MOTHER FUCKER PROBABLY HAS HIS TINY HANDS IN ALLOWING THIS SHIT TOO HAPPEN. YES. WE WILL STAY THE FUCK OUT OF YOUR STATE.

It’s a third degree felony
For animal cruelty in Florida
Ignore the tRumptard lying pos. It is LEGAL to hunt sharks for contests in Florida. These two who stabbed shark were told they did nothing wrong. Not even a fine. Go to Change.org and you will see petition for the contests for killing sharks. ALL LEGAL.
To Jacqueline. Disgusting videos where vermin pour beer into gullet of hammerhead shark while still alive.NO CHARGES FILED AND NO FINES.This is common in Florida.
Show their faces! Is this some legal nonsense? People should follow them. Never let them forget it.
Shame on the authorities who allow this.
What is wrong with you People??????? HEARTLESS AND CRUEL!!! THIS MUST BE STOPPED!!!
DEATH PENALTY for ALL animal-torturers and animal-abusers.
NO animal shall be stabbed, burnt, beaten, kicked, punched, starved or abused in any other way by dehumanized and desensitized psychopathic human scum.
ALL animal-abusing sadists must be EUTHANIZED to set an example. DEATH PENALTY is the only adequate punishment for this hellish scum!
Ich stimme dir absolut zu.
I agree completely urszula
Go to Change.org.LEGAL TO KILL SHARKS FOR SPORT IN FLORIDA. Petitions and protests did not do any good. They had one in Jupiter and will go on.
Why are their faces blocked out? These fools should have their actions broadcast far and wide.
Why people are so cruel and heartless towards innocent animals is sickening. I get so tired of hearing things like this!!
Florida, you suck! How inhumane are you? Does that go for dogs, cats, family pets too? You’re disgusting.
Just what are you teaching? Certainly not kindness.
Again and again it’s a 3rd degree felony in Florida for animal abuse
Educate your self
This means jail time and hefty fines
Again. You are a lying pos. NO ONE GOES TO JAIL AND NO ONE GETS FINED.
Youtube has this under shark abuse. Officials said NO CHARGES WILL BE FILED. I did not watch other videos where sharks are being abused for fun including pouring beer into gullets of hammerhead shark for fun. NO CHARGES FILED OR FINES IN ANY ABUSE CASE.These cases were not where people were attacked by sharks or people wanting to get shark for consumption. THESE CASES ARE FOR FUN AND GAMES.
Agree all comments do the same to them they are nothing but trash.
I agree these bastards should have their faces displayed and if it is true re Florida and no law that forbids this is it is pretty sad. We shouldn’t be fighting amongst ourselves as we all agree these sad excuses for human beings should end up in jail where every animal is safe. The law needs to be stronger when we see such disgusting behaviour.
I will attack people for BLATANT LIES. Want evidence? Go to Youtube videos under shark abuse.NO ONE GETS PUNISHED AND NO FINES.This has been going on for years. Warning about videos. VERY DISTURBING.Lots of shit done to sharks for FUN. Shark killing contests for fun are legal in Florida. Go to Change.org and you will see petition for that. These are not cases where you have to kill a shark to keep you or other people alive.
Find these CRUEL IDIOTS AND STAB THEM IN THEIR HEAD & RENDER ABSOLUTELY NO MEDICAL TREATMENT!!!!
The laws need to change to protect these innocent lives. We go into their natural habit and should respect it. These two evil humans need to be punished they murdered this shark in the most inhumane way.
That will never change. All these cases over the years where people do this to sharks for fun? NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN CHARGED AND NO FINES. I have no problem killing a shark to keep someone from being killed but these cases all on Youtube? I wanted to vomit. And i am not a fan of sharks. I think they are amazing creatures but should be left alone.
Cowards, ill-born pieces of scum!
QUE ESSES FILHOS DA PUTA DE UMA MERDA, PASSEM PELO MESMO INFINITAS VEZES MAIS E QUEIMEM ETERNAMENTE NO INFERNO!!!!!!! 😡🤬
