#FastRepost from @Animal Recovery Mission by @fastrepost_app ••• In 2017, a video went viral in Tampa that triggered a huge outcry by the public. #MichaelWenzel, a commercial fisherman, was recorded on video dragging a blacktip shark by a rope at high speeds through Tampa Bay as his two friends looked on and laughed. He was also recorded shooting the shark with a handgun. . Even after such blatant cruelty was exposed, Wenzel left the courtroom today sentenced to only 10 days in jail for animal cruelty. 😠 . Egregiously cruel acts such as this illustrate how critically important it is to advocate for better animal protection laws. 👊👩⚖️ Every animal matters. 🦈🦈🦈 . #animallaw #animalcruelty #advocateforanimals #marinelife #animalabuse #animalsmatter #oceanlife #compassionovercruelty https://www.instagram.com/packerbackercat7/p/BuftXBSHYir/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1avyw7xz47htb
