I can’t believe what I just saw. In order to get shark fins for shark fin soup, fishermen catch the sharks, cut off their fins, and throw them back overboard to drown. What the fuck? It’s so beyond sick that I can’t even process this right now. How can people be so disgusting? I mean, come on, you can’t find a use for the rest of the shark?! You just tortured the creature and then left it for dead. Unbelievable.
Where the hell is the empathy? When I see stuff like this, I have no empathy for those fishermen that then end up overboard themselves. I know that’s not the best reaction I can have, but right now I can’t reach a better conclusion. Not until I can work through what I just witnessed. I know it’s their life, and their choices to make, but I also know if my kid was involved in something like that I wouldn’t hide my disgust or disappointment, and I would have failed as a parent.
Jesus. Humans are capable of some horrible things. (I also realize that we are capable of far worse on a daily basis. I’m not saying this is worse or better than anything else. Just that it’s sick and I want to beat the crap out of those fishermen right now.)
