A very weird and heartbreaking story from Florida today, as a group of 4 vagabonds dragged a four foot shark out of an ocean and onto a train.

Witnesses claim the men wanted to sell the shark for money, to which none of the innocent bystanders expressed desire to give in exchange for the shark. One person stated, ‘We don’t buy sharks off the street.’

The homeless wanderers then left the shark on a street, for dead.

  • While it is horrible what these men did to this poor shark, all they wanted to do was make some money. I doubt that they wanted to hurt the shark, but I’m sure that they were desperate to make money. If you people had some compassion and understanding you might take into account these men’s circumstances before saying harsh things about them.

    And I’m an animal lover.

  • People like this should be forced to the town stockades so the real people with jobs can take turns throwing food at them, then running them away from civilization and back to their forgotten alleys.

    This type of abuse of animals is sick and barbaric.

    • “This type of abuse of animals is sick and barbaric.”

      They were homeless people in desperate need of money. I highly doubt that they were sadists whose only goal was to cause harm to a shark. I don’t think that Jesus would approve of your attitude towards the poor, Adam.

      And unless I’m mistaken, several times you have offered to “babysit” my cats, right after admitting that you think that cats are “evil”. I certainly hope that cat owners in your neighborhood have installed home security systems.

  • So just because they need money, they can go and toture animals now, Claire?

    Hey, med school is expensive and plenty of people need money. Let’s kill patients and sell their organs on the black market! Yes! What a great idea, because all things are justified when you are poor!

    These homeless people most atone for their crimes against nature, Claire. Of course being poor does not negate the severity of a crime, and deciding to kill a 6 foot shark by dragging it out of its natural environment, onto a passenger car and then leaving it to die on the street is blatant animal abuse.

    It would be abuse if it was a group of suburban teens who did it, and it is abuse now that a ragtag group of homeless miscreants did it.

    • Nowhere did I say it was okay to torture innocent animals because you’re poor. However, I feel sympathy (something that a heartless person such as yourself will never feel) for those homeless people. I’m the kind of person who will always give my spare change to homeless people because I feel sorry for them. Dragging out a shark and leaving it for dead is a wrong thing to do, but when you have no home and can’t remember the last meal you had, you do irrational things in the hope of getting some money. Trust me, I love animals, but I also have a heart and understand that people do crazy things in desperate situations.

      And as I said before, several times you offered to “babysit” my two cats…right after claiming that cats are evil creatures. If you even tried to get within twenty feet of a cat I would lodge a bullet right between your eyes.

      • I volunteer to help the poor receive quality health care, so please stop trying to judge a book before reading it, Claire. There is nothing but good for having compassion for the poor waifs in this world, even though they need to work or get some sort of job, but if they go around torturing animals they need to be put in jail.

        If they would do that to a shark, I highly doubt there is a thick line that would keep this poverty ridden thugs from jumping some poor hard-working guy on the street and leaving him dead, just for a bit of cash or jewels. So no, they do not get a free pass. Hopefully God will send a big fish to just swallow them up and not return them in retribution.

          Whatever happened to forgiveness?

  • Adam, those men do not deserve to die, or be physicly harmed in any way. It was just a shark. I feel bad for the shark, it suffocated and got dragged around. Human beings are more important than fish. These people were obviousely hungry, and do not deserve to be harmed. They should have done the smart thing, and ate the shark, frozen the leftovers.

    • They were not hungry, they were sadistic cannibals. Do you know that people who abuse animals typically go to jail, as it is an indicator that they likely have dangerous tendency and need psychological evaluations?

      People who harm animals like this tend to have no regard for human beings. I only wish these homeless get struck down with leprosy and rot in a filthy alley for all the harm they do to our world.
