Florida’s sport fishing community is outraged over video that shows a shark, tied to the back of the boat, being dragged at high speed. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said Wednesday that it has identified the men involved and the investigation is ongoing. The FWC said it will not release the names of the men until the investigation is complete. The video was posted on a number of social media sites Monday and has thousands of views, drawing mostly negative backlash from the Florida sport fishing community.WESH 2 News has also obtained a related photo, which we are not showing due to its extremely graphic nature. The photo shows what appears to be the same shark ripped to pieces and being held by two men whose faces are not shown in the photo.In an email, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesman Robert Klepper said, “The FWC has been alerted to a video circulating on multiple social media sites showing a group of individuals traveling at high speed on the water (while) dragging a shark behind the vessel.” Klepper added, “The FWC takes this very seriously and is currently investigating this incident. We are also attempting to identify the individuals in the video and where it took place.”Among those who have posted the video is renown South Florida charter fishing Captain Mark “Mark The Shark” Quartiano. He said that he received the video, via Instagram, from a man he believes to have been on the vessel while the shark was being dragged. That same individual also sent him the follow up photo of the shark in pieces.“This is just really sick, one of the most horrific things I have seen in 50 years of professional sport fishing,” Quartiano said. “I don’t know if this is criminal, but it would seem to me that this is animal cruelty and they should be prosecuted,” Quartino added. When asked if it is sometimes necessary to drag large fish on the outside of a boat because they are too large to bring into a vessel, Quartiano said he’s rarely had a circumstance in which the fish wasn’t dead or nearly dead by the time it was brought to the boat, because they typically suffocate. “There’s just no reason for this behavior,” Quartiano said.Most of the online comments online have been critical of the people behind the video. Jared writes, ““I'm no fan of PETA, but I'd love to... bust these (expletive). Not cool.” And from Ryan, “Please share with all your friends and people in the fishing industry to get this guy off our waters.” WESH 2 News has tracked the captain's location to Florida’s Gulf Coast, but we are notrevealing his identity because we have not spoken with him and he has not been criminally charged. Anyone with information is urged to contact the FWC’s Wildlife Alert Hotline at 888-404-3922 or Tip@MyFWC.com. Individuals can remain anonymous.
