#Video Pescadores cortan cola a tiburón

En redes sociales se difundieron impactantes y crueles imágenes en las que se puede ver cómo dos pescadores cortan la cola a un tiburón.

La organización Save The Reed dio a conocer las imágenes en las que se observa cómo los dos hombres parecen divertirse mucho al cortar la cola del animal para, posteriormente, burlarse de él.

Los dos hombres, originarios de Islandia, viajaban a bordo de un barco pesquero cerca de las costas de Groenlandia cuando encontraron en animal nadando cerca de su embarcación.

Uno de los pescadores agarra al animal y le corta la cola mientras el otro graba el momento, entre grandes risas.

“Buena suerte nadando”, le gritan.

⚠WARNING GRAPHIC IMAGES⚠ Please share this video far and wide and tag people who need to see it so EVERYONE can see what true ignorance looks like as these idiots are destroying our marine life ecosystem. Sadly, it’s this kind of senseless killing that will be the end of our marine life, environment and eventually our own species too unless we change RIGHT AWAY! It’s absolutely disgusting that 2 fishermen recorded and laughed as another cuts off the tail (caudal fin) of what looks like a Greenland Shark. One of the fisherman can be heard yelling “Good luck trying to swim, you bastard” while the other laughs as the mutilated #shark tries to escape. Greenland sharks are the longest living vertebrates on Earth, living between 300-500 years and are believed to have unique genes that could hold the secret to long life for us humans too. Unfortunately, they don’t reach breeding age until 150 years so their population is very low even without humans condemning them to death by cutting off their fins like you see in this video. It’s also speculated that their population is low because this shark species is fished for its liver oil in the Scandinavian region. Thankfully, these men were promptly fired from their jobs on board and it also seems that the men broke several laws and could face up to a million ISK (roughly $8,000) in fines on animal cruelty charges…but hardly enough for this horrific act that shows what we are doing to sharks all over the world which must be stopped through all of us spreading awareness that we won’t tolerate this kind of behavior anymore!Thanks for the video @oceanskeepers we must work together to help these poor creatures before it’s too late! #savethesharks #saveourseas #endanimalcruelty #savethereef

De acuerdo con la organización, esto solo condenó al tiburón a una muerte lenta y dolorosa.

El animal es un tiburón de Groenlandia, el vertebrado más longevo del mundo que puede vivir hasta 400 años y es una especie inofensiva para los seres humanos.
