there will be a longer and more update-y post later, but first i had to share this:
cruelty to great whites happens and isn't okay i know i'm always praising the mb aquarium, but seriously, they are so humane and wonderful and their shark research program is amazing. they definitely prioritize the animals.
great whites are absolutely amazing creatures.
this is definitely torture, and the farallon islands are a PROTECTED AREA. how dare they go there and stick giant freaking fishing hooks into these amazing animals and not even GET THE HOOK OUT.
this article makes me want to cry.
