Not So Bright Fisherman Wrestles A Live Shark Out Of The Water To Take A Selfie

What was this guy thinking?! While we would never wish a shark bite on our worst enemies, we have to admit that if the jerk in this following video had gotten bit, we wouldn’t be shocked… or feel sorry for him!

As you can see in this horrific video of people pulling a baby dolphin out of the water to take a selfie, no good can come from messing with a helpless animal. Call it all in good fun or what you wish, but touching, teasing, and removing an animal from its natural habitat in any way is animal cruelty.

Just days after the baby dolphin death incident, another bonehead is making headlines for a disgraceful act on the shores of Palm Beach, Florida.

After reeling in the roughly 4-5 foot blacktip shark, an unknown fisherman can be seen in the video below wrestling the big catch before snapping photos with it. Local reporter Ashleigh Walters posted the footage on Facebook, sparking outrage from people everywhere.

“Line should have been cut and shark released right away with none of the BS”, one commenter wrote, while most people just called the unknown fisherman bad names and said they’ve lost hope for mankind.

Unfortunately, this type of animal cruelty happens more often in Florida, where shark fishing is a popular sport. “There’s nothing legally wrong with this,” Dr. Stephen Kajiura of FAU told WPTV, according to NBC Miami.

However, he said, this behavior can be doing internal harm to the shark or fish. “It looks like it swims away just fine, but it might be swimming away with a ruptured liver, for example.”
