Eli Roth Instagram – • THIS IS AMERICA 2023 • As you have probably already seen, last weekend, July 21-23, the 90th Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo was held in Dauphin Island, Alabama, USA where Bull Sharks and Tiger Sharks were slaughtered to death for entertainment… These species are respectively listed as Vulnerable of extinction and Near Threatened by the IUCN ! This barbaric event was sponsored by huge companies such as @iheartradio, @cocacola, yamahamotorusa and more who gave thousands in prizes to boats that killed the biggest shark possible. A huge pregnant female Tiger Shark was slaughtered to death together with all the babies she was about to give birth to… Juvenile sharks were killed as well, some that haven’t even had time to reach sexual maturity and reproduce. But the worst part of it all is that this awful event was supported by “scientists” from the @msstate university, @msu_marinefisheriesecology and @noaafisheries ! These “scientists” gave legitimacy to such an unnecessary slaughter and influenced the tournament organizers to bring back the shark killing category as we can read on the tournament website !!! Even newspapers articles came out mentioning that these “scientists” were equally excited as the anglers themselves when it was time to open up that pregnant female and take all her babies out !!! Hanging dead sharks under an American flag and displaying them in public has nothing to do with science ! There are non lethal ways to study sharks, yet these people supported this slaughter ! Science has to respect a certain ethic and if scientific publications don’t respect the welfare ethic protocol, publications can be taken down ! Please SHARE THIS POST to show everyone what is still happening in the United States of America in 2023 ! And TAG @noaafisheries, @msstate, @msu_marinefisheriesecology and @disealab to let them know that THIS IS NOT SCIENCE AND THIS IS NOT OK !!!
