Research is necessary to protect all species of the oceans. We have a captain who regularly catches LARGE sharks inclusive of Great Whites. He tags and releases and if already tagged reports the catch and identification info to the agency that uses it to help these giants thrive. Emotions are useless without full knowledge of the complete story😎
This is Marine Research team trying to study the Mantia Ray's. Blood sample's and other tests are taken. There have been mass deaths of these species along the Florida coast. This is why they have a tank and equipment to keep the Mantia Ray alive to study and why their dying. Everyone assumes the worst, when Marine Research is trying to protect them.
To the men--whipped with chains
They should be putting goddamn jail that’s what the hell they should be take all their goddamn fishing equipment and the boat away from that that’s what should happen. We’re too lenient here.
lock them up
it's a study, marine group , looking for clues for improving the rays health....
Stolen from freedom to living in a fishbowl. This is just wrong. Captivity kills.
Too bad it wasn't a stingray and half of them didn't get the Steve Irwin lovetap.
that's really so sad, to be taken from freedom to captivity
Put it back after removing the hook. More rotten, soulless, pathetic human beings. Anything for greed.
they are mosty docile creatures, unless they have young ones around.
You can predict what bites your hook. What should they have done? Cut the line and leave it with a hook in it? I stopped fishing forever ago because hurting the fish started wearing on my conscience.
In MAGA America YT MAGA guys are always above the law.
you don't have a choice on what takes the bait. Just put back.
leave the sea creatures alone,that's their home
call the coast guard
evil people!
if they are taking this poor soul to sea world then they are not going to pray blood and do research ,make a another lie thats believable idiots!
marine scientist murder is more like it
I hope they were prosecuted?!
🤬😡🤮☠️🤬
may they all lose their licenses forever
You people really need to read before commenting.
Boo!Boo!
Not everything is some outrageous abuse story — sometimes it’s science, research, or conservation. They clearly had proper gear and handled the manta ray carefully, which means it was likely part of a legitimate study or collection for an aquarium. People love to visit aquariums and marvel at marine life but have zero understanding of how those animals get there in the first place. Stop letting emotion cloud logic. Not every video is a call for outrage — maybe try actually paying attention before jumping on a bandwagon.
what the hell are the doing I hope they got stopped !!!!!!!!!!! dam no respect what's the purpose for this !!!!!!!
sick a beautiful creature 😍 ❤️ I can not believe they did not release it,wtf leave marine life alone. We are killing/destroying everything. We don't deserve this earth 😢
😡
Wrong to hold a Manta. they leave a scent trail U cannot wash off. So the next time they will be coming after U.
That's news to me. Didn't know manta rays were on the endangered list. Glad I read the story before I put my two cents in. wish there was more to this story.
horrible
Report boat to Coast Guard and Department of National Resource
marine scientist study
oh my settle down guys! they stated they are licensed to catch and that its going to an aquarium. you might not like it and I dont either but at the same time I bet all of y have been to an aquarium once in your life
I understand that they are delicious!!!😆
with the landing ramp then the holding tank already filled it looks like they only wanted to catch the Manta ray. prosecute too the fullest
😡😡😡😡😡
I THINK THEY MAY BE DOING SOME WORK SORRY FOR MY REACTION 🤔😲
That's so wrong
The article never explained what they doing.
as long as it goes to a a aquarium 😡😡😡
They didn't hurt it. They did their job. They collected a live specimen.
never mind. it is a ramp of some kind to protect the manta. 🤔
looks like research
They are devils!!!!
probably was something wrong with it, or had hooks on him anything geesh chill ppl
nail theme
they have a helicopter, XYZ and the cops aren't watching??
