Interested in killing 300 critically endangered Goliath Groupers in order to help protect them? That's what Florida's Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is purposing to do. The Goliaths are toxic containing 7 times the allowable mercury levels, so you shouldn't eat them and its against the law to sell them. You could sure get some nice dead animal trophy pictures though! Just like Cecil the Lion Killer! If this bothers you please help me get the word out, that this type of behavior will not be tolerated! The facts are all in the petition in my bio! Please sign and share! If possible attend the FWC meeting in Ft Lauderdale April 25th & 26th and voice your support to stop the FWC from selling 300 tickets so 300 people can each kill their own friendly Goliath Grouper! FWC says the money collected will go to help with the conservation efforts of this Critically Endangered Goliath Grouper! If this sounds really stupid to you, please speak up for these incredibly friendly creature that generates millions of dollars every year in Florida with ecotourism...people that just want to see them alive. Please Help Us Save the Goliath Grouper! @jim_abernethy #myfwc #savegoliaths #goliathgrouper #fwc #stoptheneedlesskillings (at MyFWC)

This is Shadow my friend for over 2 decades! She's a very friendly Goliath Grouper! Join me for a dive to make friends with her yourself! I guarantee it will be life changing! Her kind is critically endangered and now could be slaughtered needlessly! Please help Shadow and her kind by signing the petition and sharing this post! The Critically Endangered Goliath groupers may soon be killed by the FWC (FAILING WILDLIFE CONSERVATION) Other than a trophy picture, there is no reason to kill it, as it's extremely high levels of mercury make it toxic! In the wild however science has shown us that they provide life to many fish...ecological engineers same as the Wolves of yellowstone! Economically they bring millions of dollars to the state through ecotourism scuba industry as a sustainable! Please don't allow FWC to kill these very friendly sentient creatures! please contact me if you want to help save the Goliath Grouper!
