Jason Momoa’s Message To Two Fishermen Who Cut Off Shark’s Tail And Released It Back To The Sea Goes Viral
Disturbing footage has emerged from a fishing boat off the coast of Greenland, showing two young fishermen gleefully hacking off a defenseless shark’s tail, before throwing it back out to sea while shouting “Good luck trying to swim, you punk!” Jason Momoa has recently made a comment on it and his response has gone viral.

The poor creature has been identified as a Greenland shark, which is the world’s longest living vertebrate species. These large, gentle sharks do not attack humans and can live as long as 400 years old; they are currently listed as ‘near threatened‘ on the conservation scale.

Influencer Christel Johr Johansen was the first to draw attention to the video which has since gone viral, and been brought to the attention of authorities. Aquaman himself, Jason Momoa, has also expressed his disgust at the actions of the pair, uploading an emotional Instagram post about the incident. “We all make mistakes but what u did was evil PURE EVIL,” he wrote. “You will get what that shark got.”
The video appears to show the shark trapped on a commercial fishing line belonging to an Icelandic boat. But instead of helping to set it free, the men, both Icelanders, for some reason decided to sadistically torture the fish, while filming themselves laughing at its plight.
The fishermen have received a barrage of abuse on their social media pages, and may now face legal consequences for their cruelty. The pair could receive a hefty fine or even jail time if found guilty under Iceland’s animal cruelty laws; however, there is some doubt whether wild fish are included under the legislation. “If no law covers this then they cannot be punished,” lawyer Árni Stefán Árnasson said in an interview with Icelandic news outlet RUV. “This is a difficult matter because when the laws were drafted certain species of animals were excluded, including all the wild fish. So it’s a gray area legally to see if this is punitive or not.”
Þóra Jóhanna Jónasdóttir, Veterinary Officer for Pet Diseases and Animal Welfare at Icelandic Food and Veterinary Authority (MAST), believes that exemptions to the cruelty laws apply only to traditional hunting and fishing, of which this is neither. “This is neither catching nor hunting. In my opinion, this is subject to the law,” she said. “A man does not hurt animals and lets go of it knowing that it will most likely be in pain and die in suffering.”
Bored Panda spoke to Hjalti Andrason, also from Icelandic Food and Veterinary Authority, about what comes next. He said while he couldn’t comment on any reactions from the fishermen, he has confirmed that they are considering action on the case. “MAST is looking into the matter and collecting information but a decision has not been made as of yet,” he told us. “Under the animal welfare law, MAST can fine up to 1.000.000 ISK for animal abuse or request a police investigation. The latter can lead to prosecution and conviction.”
“The Icelandic animal welfare law covers all animals.”
The owners of the fishing boat immediately terminated the contracts of the fishermen, and strongly condemned the incident. “We owners and shipowners Bíldseyar SH 65 disgrace and condemn the horrendous event that occurred in a video that accompanies DV’s news today,” they wrote in a statement. “So far, we have tried to adopt good working practices and responsible handling of the resource and the environment in general. This event is completely unjustifiable and those who were there for work have no claim. We have no choice but to reject further work by people who demonstrate such behavior. ”

Share on FacebookThat is SICKNING and I hope those two men get their feet chopped off and then serve 25 years in jail for what they did. sad that people act this way
I normally am against physical punishment, but in this case... Hack their feet off and let's see how they walk then.
Load More Replies...This is a horrible treatment towards that poor creature and this act has been condemned by the Icelandic nation, with the exception of a few. But I would like to point out that the behaviour of some people towards these men is horrible. People have been commenting on one of their FB page, on pictures of his child's christening, that they hope and pray that his son's legs will be chopped of, while he is rotting in jail. Even though I strongly agree that this is sickening, his children are innocent! You can think what the hell you want of these men, but children are OFF LIMITS!
Omg that is scary actually. I agree with you, leave the children and spouses and basically everyone else but those two men out of it. It's just as horrible to wish I'll fate on an innocent child!
Load More Replies...Too many. And mark my words when I see get that skittish feeling in my gut that something isn't quite right about something, I find the answer, and I make sure they get what they deserve
Load More Replies...I did not look at that video, but I always like it if famous people speak out. They have a bigger audience and are role models for a lot of us. I hope people will learn that this kind of behavior is just plain cruel. Thanks Jason.
clearly he is a good guy:) his wife must be proud
Load More Replies...I agree with the one commenter. This happens all the time with harvesters of Shark Fins. China is the worst offender of this. They say they've put a ban in place to protect the sharks, but they give a pass to fishermen that "find sharks trapped in fishing nets." If you sit at the docks in China, you will see fishermen that come in with very little fish and bags brimming with shark fins. Gordon Ramsey did an expose about it a few years back. The problem needs to be addressed because sharks, like whales and many other species, are starting to vanish from our oceans. We're messing with an ecosystem we know very little about.
So true, I somewhat knew about the shark fins but I guess I naively didn't realize the extent of it. I'm def going to look up the Gordon Ramsey special on it. So do they throw the poor shark back in the water to just die a painful death like these guys did? Or do they kill it all together? Hurts my heart either way.
Load More Replies...I couldn't watch the video because of how bad I felt just seeing the pictures. I am sickened that after committing such a heinous act that they laughed. I just don't understand how or why humans can be so cruel and evil. Once again the reason is connected with China, whether it be for medicinal purposes or a delicacy. Will it ever stop?
YouTube took it down, but ppl need to see what's going on to these poor animals and these s****y humans.
Load More Replies...This had made me physically sick. I'm actually shaking. That poor poor shark. Can someone not cut off their legs and be like "haha good luck trying to walk, you punks"
If I EVER saw either one of these men in public, I'd be arrested for what I'd do to them...and I'd tell the judge they deserved it...period...the end!
I understand, but this is done hundreds of times a day by people killing sharks for their fins for soup.
Load More Replies...Thank God that most idiots record and post everything they do on social media these days, otherwise they may never have come to justice. What a horrible way to treat living things, that hurts my heart so much.
My heart nearly stopped when i saw this,i hope they die the slowest death imaginable and find no help from anyone,no defenceless animal deserves this,i can't watch the video and i cant stop crying,Humans are this planets worst predators!!
I chose not to watch the video. I dont want that image in my head. This happens all too often. How do we make it stop. Wtf is wrong with humans that think this behavior is ok...even funny. And why would they post it. They have to know that the majority of humans would find this unacceptable. Smh.
For all those reading this post - in this case Jason has brought cruelty to sharks by two idiots to our attention - but just know - this is something that happens a lot more often!!! It is sick! there's a ton of reporting out there on this issue and on the hacking of shark fins. We do not deserve this earth.
Iceland also wants to take 2,000 whales and slaughter them as well! It be nice to draw attention to that and have that stop as well!
The worst thing is the fact that those two are not only cruel idiots in this world. Practices like this are, unfortunately, "normal" an accepted around the world - senseless slaughter of storks in Africa, hunting for black dolphins in the Faroe Islands (as part of the initiation of maturity - what kind of?!?), all "delicacies" like vodka with beating cobras in Asia, etc. Now the escalation of foolishness reaches the zenith on the internet, which pays for the number of views and offers five minutes of fame for anything - the more stupid, more shocking - the better. The internet network has become a place for collective lynching, but also for those who want to be famous regardless of its type...
Exactly. It is only recently also more laws have been brought in to protect sharks but things like this will still happen until they completely do away with it.
Load More Replies...Absolutely sadistic....It would be like having their feet or legs cut off and being thrown back into the water. I hope there is a law that will allow them to be charged and sentenced. It was right that their bosses cancelled all contracts with them. I hope the people closest to them hold them responsible for this morally reprehensible action ....No creature on earth deserves this utter senseless cruelty !
Cute video I want to see: never loads. Horrible video I want to avoid: Loads perfectly. BP you need to fix your Android app. It's full of bugs.
This is awful. These people are awful. Please through your weight against a ban on shark fin soup--this soup is causing the extinction of sharks, which will result in the destruction of our oceans.
They should cut their d***s and tell them, "Good luck trying to reproduce, PUNK!!
Now the fishermen have lost their reputation, work, and if justice exists they will go to prison. In a way they had what the shark had, but they still deserve much more, shame for the rest of life, people like that deserve to work in the sewer and be forbidden to see the light of day.
These two have black hearts and I get great satisfaction knowing that God or, Karma, if you prefer, Is their judge and justice will be served!
“Hey! I have a good idea! Lets cut those a******s legs an leave them in the street! It will be so funny, everyone will laugh with us!”... i dont wish bad to anyone but seriously i wouldnt mind if these rotten waste of oxigen suffer the punishment of what theyve done in the most unfair way to themselves...
The most fair punishment for those guys is to loose a couple of limbs, so they regret if forever...
Load More Replies...People make me sick, i can't really say anything else after watching that.
I strongly disagree with the last comment in the thread - ‚education and awareness‘ are NOT the answer here. I don’t need education or special awareness to know that it’s babaric to cut parts off of animals for fun!
They are living. Why not have rights for them? This needs to be noticed more.
Load More Replies...If these two disgusting pathetic pieces of s**t don't get jail time I'm sure there are enough folks in the general public residing in the local area who are exceedingly disgusted enough by the actions of these "men (hahahahahahaha🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣)" to deal with em in their own way!!! As has been said, you'll get the same treatment that shark did!!
Cut their heads off and feed them to the fish. They don’t deserve to live on this planet!!!!!!!!
@Ron, I think the poor fish would get indigestion eating these idiots
Load More Replies...The rage this brings in me should scare the hell out of any human that behaves like this.
The rage this brings in me should scare the hell out of any human that behaves like this. Sick evil little men.
those two idiots need their balls chopped off! oh wait..... they never had any to begin with!!!
Disgusting - they deserve severe punishment for this. Unbelievably cruel.
Oh no!! This hurts my heart so so much! Poor shark. So defenseless and probably terrified of his predicament. I can't believe the cruelty of any person that can do such a thing. I'm heartbroken.
I have never seen anything as evil and vile and I have never wanted to hurt another human in my life but these two idiots will get what is coming to them I would like to amputate their feet and laugh and say good luck walking you two reprobates crawl like the low life's that you are :(
What is wrong with people who do this sort of thing? Horrid. They need to be held accountable. Grrrrr....
pardon my french, I honestly never curse, but THAT IS SO F*CKING WRONG? WHO THE H*LL WOULD DO THAT!!!!
No justice inless do the same defenceless...we are the problem ruining rhe world! Seeing things like this, I'm ashamed to be a human being! We are fukin it up!@
I rarely hurt people until I feel threatened. I want to hunt these men down and cut off their limbs. Animals are precious to me, and I have nothing to fear but my own mistakes around animals. They have their own nature. The nature of these men are cruel. I would sink to their level to make them sink as far as they caused this shark to sink.
I hope those two people who call themselves men get their legs cut off and thrown into the ocean
They need their d***s cut off any tbtow them back in the ocean to bleed to death POS
They are not good ppl good ppl would not do that. This just sick and evil o hope u go to jail or get a fine that u pay fir 10 years worth kill a helpless anmail is shameful kill to eat or fush ti releases..
Good call,Jason and others connected with the condemnation of these mongrels....They actually look as if they only share One brain cell between the two of them...I hope they use it to try and work out how to redeem themselves...I wish only bad,sad and perrenially bad luck and annoyance on these brutes and their families.
I can just imagine.....couldn't watch the video for it has been removed. Probably because it is so vile. Karma has her way. She usually comes back and bites you in the a*s, that is, if yours isn't cut off already. Shame on anyone who lets any animal suffer. Thank you Jason. You rock, as always.
Adds fuel to my suggested new sport; Predation. "Predators" would have license to stalk hunters and poachers, in a kill or be killed scenario. If your average schmuck hunter who destroys life for their sadistic enjoyment had to consider that there might be another hunter who is licensed to kill them, there might be a decrease in the number of callous, shallow individuals who kill only for killing's sake. While this may sound much like the "Predator" in the movies, I was for this hunter on hunter protocol long before the fictional character ever existed.
Wha...how...my God, why goes through someone's mind to actually do this????? I have no words!
It's disgraceful. These guys enjoyed what they did out of sheer fun. Borderline Psychopaths. So, get hold of them, chuck them into a area of water infested by sharks. Tgats brutal but an eye for an eye.. Maybe joking aside, they should be made accountable for this. A huge fine relative to their income... The process of animal cruelty I am dead against. Shark fin soup process should be partitioned against and stopped.... I am not a vegetarian either.
Humans kill some 300 million sharks a year but they are the dangerous ones because they mistake people for seals few times a year.
The only way to stop animal cruelty is to expose, embarrass and punish but also we have to educate, set examples and see something do something policy.... have we become the animal? Even animals have more respect and are sympathetic to the wounded ! We must teach our children to respect ALL life if we are to help stop this!
Hack off their feet and other appendage so their flawed genetic material doesn’t get disseminated.....
I am horrified at the cruelty, stupidity and ignorance of these two idiots. They should be fined and jailed for this horrific act. Man is the only "animal" that kills for sport which is beyond cruel but evil!
If just cutting the tail of was bad enough for a normal shark, the greenland shark is currently being researched and is nearly endangered, due to its age lenth, which is 500 years, and could easily tip into a very serious situation with this act going on
F*****g a******s. Give me an axe and I'll gladly chop their d***s off. F*****g unreal.
I'll take it to the other side. Whatever you do in life, will come back to you like a boomerang, for good or for bad. They will get their punishment and one day or another they'll pay for everything, damn bloody bastards.
Though sharks strike fear in people it’s to be remembered that they are wild creatures and usually we are in their habitats. To be cruel for laughs because you haven’t learned to respect others right to life has become all too common. Sentence these (I hesitate to call them men) guys to learn about the ocean and the life in it and how it all intertwines with our lives. Make them teach what they learn.
This is so disturbing and disgusting. What was the point of this cruelty??? Fun??? They lost their jobs...so what. Put these useless pieces of trash in jail for inhumanity and cruelty to animals!!! Better yet cut off their hands and feet and drop them in the ocean so the sharks can smell their cold blood and feast on them!!!
I am with you Jason momoa yes it's sick and vile s**t and I hope those f*****s get theirs
I sat here in shock and disgust for several seconds, then the tears came. I won't watch the video because it will probably make me physically ill. If nothing legal can be done, hopefully the people who know how to find these bastards will dish out their own form of punishment. This reinforces my belief that I did the right thing by not bringing children into this world.
an evil heart is an evil heart....trust when I say they would have no problem doing something like this to a human being if they caught them in a defenseless situation....they will have no problem finding a home with one hate group or another....
These two "men" and I use that word loosely, are pieces of Sh*t. I hope they reap what they have sown. Sickening morons.
I wonder if Jason Mamoa feels this badly about babies being killed daily by dismemberment, burned to death with saline solution, suctioned out by vacuuming, ........, all being done, while in the baby's supposedly safest place, in his/her mother's womb. So Jason, do you feel as badly for a helpless baby, as you do for a shark?
So you condemn to starvation and privation innocent children? Do you take them into your own home, educate them completely according to their mothers' wishes, allow them to worship and dress to suit themselves? If not, you're a goddam hypocrite, and have nothing to add to this discussion. Go troll somewhere else.
Load More Replies...Because non-human animals aren’t worth s**t to most people. They eat them, so they must be inferior, right? So long as we continue to treat non-human animals as inferior to the human animal, we also will be able to continue to dehumanize each other with racism and war propaganda.
Laws need to change. This is sadistic and cruel. That poor animal suffered until it died. How can this be right?
That was so sickening I can bring myself to watch it...Maybe karma will get them and they will end up being shark bait!!
POSSIBLE criminal charges?!!! Cut off THIER tails and release these miscreants into a large dirty industrial zone in a city... see how THEY like it
Cruelty to animals, children, and each other, is accelerating at a horrible rate. Those two men are AWFUL, glad they were fired, and hope they get fined and jail time. Dear Lord!
Burning them would be too good for them... but I would still like too
ersonally, these two are already changed. they are evil shits an karma is a b***h. she is hunting you right now! I hope you get jail time over this, just because it was so cruel. What's next? cutting the legs off of a child then throwing it into the street to survive? If I was healthy, I would be over there and hunting you and swords are my favorite weapon. Ones that can cut through bone.
What the absolute f**k? WHY would someone do something like that. They obviously have the mentality of severely disturbed 12 year olds. I hope them being fired is just the beginning ...
Karma will come back and bite them in the @ss. Humans can be so evil, nasty, and horrible... There are not enough words to discribe. How awful those 2 idiots are. I hope you suffer for the rest of your life for what you have done to that beautiful animal.
Piece of shits will Rot in jail. Stupid YouTube for taking the video down.
people who do this to animals have mental issues. I am not joking or being sarcastic. They should get checked
Karma will come for them! Its very patient and strikes with a vengence
lower than low jerks! I hate people who intentionally hurt people or animals that are defenseless. I know they will get theirs some day.
It makes me sick at heart! What sewer did these scum buckets crawl out of?
I'm sad and mad about this. This is an ENDANGERED species on top of this horrific thing they did to it... Jason always has the biggest heart because he's so connected with nature. He's a man I'd love to meet and hug and thank! These two men... I'd kick them in the balls so hard they would never walk right again! I hope Karma visits them very very soon!
Karma. I hope both these men get arrested and thrown in jail. Other inmates have no tolerance for child and animal abusers.
Like wolfcrestphoto pointed out, that's old news. Shark fin soup is a delicacy in some countries, and for years they have cut off their finds, not just the tail, and thrown them overboard. Let's hope that with this video things will change. Totally inhumane.
My heart aches. I can hardly breathe. I hope they get every single thing they deserve. Why does there have to be such cruelty in this world? I am so overwhelmed with disgust that they are breathing the same air that I do. Why do the innocent always suffer while the cruel and heartless just laugh at the world? It is almost too much to bear.
Newshub in NZ reports that the two were fired. There are possible criminal charges pending, as this is an endangered species.
I can't believe that. The human race at its lowest. They should be executed. Disgusting pieces of s**t.
Ok sharks can be very brutal at times but they are creatures of the wild and they attack humans at times however Iwould never ever want this kind of cruelty to happen to them and if that is similar to how they make shark fin soup I will never have it.... not that I ever wanted it anyway. Lol I hope these two men do get fined and/or put away in prison, this is barbaric, that poor shark will have died a painful unnecessary death. Sharks do not have a moral compass when it comes to what they eat , but we do and we should.
DISGRACEFUL. Millions of sharks have their fins culled and they are then thrown back into the ocean as useless feed. It always amazes me how people jump up and down how sharks are these frightening creatures, I find people are much more so. Greenland sharks are an amazing species of shark if you should ever spend some time reading up on them. I truly hope authorities over there decide to follow up on action against these imbeciles.
Even if it doesn’t fall under the one illegal act of cruelty (which it is regardless of it being wild they are still a feeling species) they should be brought up on charges due to it being a endangered animal. People like this don’t deserve the air they breath or the space they take up. I hope karma bites them in their disgusting a*s!!
Omg!! I couldn’t watch the video! The pictures were bad enough!! Remember those faces, Animal cruelty with no regard is the first step to being a serial killer!!! I hope they lose their wY of getting through life,,?like their jobs, their, their vehicles and most of all their freedom!
I hope they are punished with jail time. People who do this to animals also do this to people. Just sayin'.
I can't even look at the video as it upsets me so much .I can't believe that grown men couldn't carry out such cruelty to a defenceless creatures and laugh about it . If they can do this and laugh at that I wouldn't trust them with a child or defenceless person in their custody . They are evil monsters .
I sure as hell wouldn't want a guy Jason Momoa's size pissed at me. So even if they avoid prosecution, we could all pitch in and buy Jason plane fare to go have a one-on-one (one-on-two?) chat with these cretins.
If it is a threatened animal, wouldn't it be protected? Shouldn't there be updated laws that deal with this? This isn't thre first time animal cruelty was publicized on social media. These actions should be punishable under law.
I'm emotional right now, so I just wanna write that I hope these two idiots get some kind of punishment for what they did to that innocent greenland shark. The human race can still surprice me .
I hope they burn in hell! I didn't have the heart to watch the video but it still pisses me off!! How heartless!! I hope at least they get a hefty fine!!
Countries that abuse and waste animals in the ocean or on land should be held with International sanctions this behavior is third world and it should not be tolerated there's enough Seafood in the ocean without destroying species. The world would be a wonderful place without humans
I truly hope what these sick degenerates get back what they did to that poor shark 3x3 times worse. Karma is a b***h when you do something so inhumane. I only wish I could be there to help them get what they deserve!!
Don't like this at all. Bored Panda is my happy place. Please don't share such evil again here, in the Bubble.
They must have been awful as children doing harm to animals from early on.
Someone should cut their legs off and drop them out in the middle of the ocean. This truly sickens me. It makes you wonder what else have they done that still remains s a secret. Karma is a b***h guys and I hope she visits you soon.
I bet at home they sit around torturing the neighborhood dogs and cats.
There's something wrong with these guys that goes beyond mutilating sharks. I don't know what it is but they've not human beings.
" “If no law covers this then they cannot be punished,” lawyer Árni Stefán Árnasson said in an interview with Icelandic news outlet RUV." Wanna bet, Árni?
So many hungry people has to live out of hunting and fishing just to,ingest the proteins needed. But those faces! Those guys enjoyed cutting the fin and releasing the fish, that is disgusting nd hopefully they face criminal charges
Well, they just ruined their own lives. The internet is a ruthless vigilante, and never have I been more glad for the fact. Richly, richly deserved.
I cant even watch the video. That shark had its tails cut off, thousands of other sharks are having their fins cut off and they all suffer and die. Its f*****g sickening. I hope these bastards go to jail
*ahem* a shark isn't a fish.. The fish exclusion doesn't apply, jail them ☺️
I can’t stop crying... haven’t and won’t watch the video, just the photo and the reaction it causes in two human beings... how? Thank you, Jason.
Be nice if they came face to face with Jason! I'd love to see him wack their tails off!!
Could we all take turns beating these ball less a/holes.. I'd pay.. :)
I think everyone, especially the culprits , should watch "Racing Extinction" The entire documentary is on Youtube under the uploader 'sfdungeon' . Please take the time to watch it, and share it. Thanks.
Anyone who hurts anything for joy needs the punishment befitting the crime... What horrible people.. I just hope Karma deals with you fairly
Can someone please grab these two twats, cut them so they bleed a lot and dump them in freshly chummed shark infested water? Oh, and of course film the whole thing while laughing at these pieces of s**t slowly being eaten. That's justice. WTF is wrong with people who seem to truly enjoy torturing animals? Ugh. Once again, I'm ashamed of my species.
You will get what you deserve you sadistic bastards karma is finish with you yet
THIS IS F*****G ANIMAL ABUSE. PUT THEM IN PRISON FOR LIFE AND CHOP THOSE LIMBS OFF. >:(
Please read the comment of "wolfcrestphoto" in the thread above on the disgustingly cruel practice of shark finning. You can find more facts here: https://sharkstewards.org/shark-finning/shark-finning-fin-facts/
They deserve to have a couple of limbs cut off - like legs - and say "Good luck trying to walk, you punks." We need more justice for animal abusers. Defenseless creatures that are tortured means the abuser is not fit for society and should be isolated. I hate them. Makes me cry.
If one is gonna kill something then just kill it even though leaving things alone is always the right thing to do no exceptions. Torture is the act of half baked or full blown sociopaths. Anyone who finds torture of any sort amusing, funny, sexually arousing or relaxing should be killed for the greater good of the world
Someone please post their names and addresses and let some wacko take care of this for us! I promise to look the other way...
they should have their d***'s cut off!!! Oh wait... Those two idiots never had one to begin with!
I hope they cut your d***s off & see how you can pee or even f**k each other m***********s
You people commenting are disgusting. Putting an animal above human beings! You’re slaughtering these two men! Leave them alone!
simple answer chop off their balls and 1 leg and release them back into the population. Just like what they did to the shark.
instead of clicking "like" people should throw a few $$ to organizations that fight people like poachers. Needless to say the Chinese are the worst culprits.
Here's their FB pages - c***s! https://www.facebook.com/halldorgustaf https://www.facebook.com/gunni.odins

For all those reading this post - in this case Jason has brought cruelty to sharks by two idiots to our attention - but just know - this is something that happens a lot more often!!! It is sick! there's a ton of reporting out there on this issue and on the hacking of shark fins. We do not deserve this earth.
Iceland also wants to take 2,000 whales and slaughter them as well! It be nice to draw attention to that and have that stop as well!
The worst thing is the fact that those two are not only cruel idiots in this world. Practices like this are, unfortunately, "normal" an accepted around the world - senseless slaughter of storks in Africa, hunting for black dolphins in the Faroe Islands (as part of the initiation of maturity - what kind of?!?), all "delicacies" like vodka with beating cobras in Asia, etc. Now the escalation of foolishness reaches the zenith on the internet, which pays for the number of views and offers five minutes of fame for anything - the more stupid, more shocking - the better. The internet network has become a place for collective lynching, but also for those who want to be famous regardless of its type...
Exactly. It is only recently also more laws have been brought in to protect sharks but things like this will still happen until they completely do away with it.
Load More Replies...Absolutely sadistic....It would be like having their feet or legs cut off and being thrown back into the water. I hope there is a law that will allow them to be charged and sentenced. It was right that their bosses cancelled all contracts with them. I hope the people closest to them hold them responsible for this morally reprehensible action ....No creature on earth deserves this utter senseless cruelty !
Cute video I want to see: never loads. Horrible video I want to avoid: Loads perfectly. BP you need to fix your Android app. It's full of bugs.
This is awful. These people are awful. Please through your weight against a ban on shark fin soup--this soup is causing the extinction of sharks, which will result in the destruction of our oceans.
They should cut their d***s and tell them, "Good luck trying to reproduce, PUNK!!
Now the fishermen have lost their reputation, work, and if justice exists they will go to prison. In a way they had what the shark had, but they still deserve much more, shame for the rest of life, people like that deserve to work in the sewer and be forbidden to see the light of day.
These two have black hearts and I get great satisfaction knowing that God or, Karma, if you prefer, Is their judge and justice will be served!
“Hey! I have a good idea! Lets cut those a******s legs an leave them in the street! It will be so funny, everyone will laugh with us!”... i dont wish bad to anyone but seriously i wouldnt mind if these rotten waste of oxigen suffer the punishment of what theyve done in the most unfair way to themselves...
The most fair punishment for those guys is to loose a couple of limbs, so they regret if forever...
Load More Replies...People make me sick, i can't really say anything else after watching that.
I strongly disagree with the last comment in the thread - ‚education and awareness‘ are NOT the answer here. I don’t need education or special awareness to know that it’s babaric to cut parts off of animals for fun!
They are living. Why not have rights for them? This needs to be noticed more.
Load More Replies...If these two disgusting pathetic pieces of s**t don't get jail time I'm sure there are enough folks in the general public residing in the local area who are exceedingly disgusted enough by the actions of these "men (hahahahahahaha🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣)" to deal with em in their own way!!! As has been said, you'll get the same treatment that shark did!!
Cut their heads off and feed them to the fish. They don’t deserve to live on this planet!!!!!!!!
@Ron, I think the poor fish would get indigestion eating these idiots

The rage this brings in me should scare the hell out of any human that behaves like this. Sick evil little men.
those two idiots need their balls chopped off! oh wait..... they never had any to begin with!!!
Disgusting - they deserve severe punishment for this. Unbelievably cruel.
Oh no!! This hurts my heart so so much! Poor shark. So defenseless and probably terrified of his predicament. I can't believe the cruelty of any person that can do such a thing. I'm heartbroken.
I have never seen anything as evil and vile and I have never wanted to hurt another human in my life but these two idiots will get what is coming to them I would like to amputate their feet and laugh and say good luck walking you two reprobates crawl like the low life's that you are :(
What is wrong with people who do this sort of thing? Horrid. They need to be held accountable. Grrrrr....
pardon my french, I honestly never curse, but THAT IS SO F*CKING WRONG? WHO THE H*LL WOULD DO THAT!!!!
No justice inless do the same defenceless...we are the problem ruining rhe world! Seeing things like this, I'm ashamed to be a human being! We are fukin it up!@
I rarely hurt people until I feel threatened. I want to hunt these men down and cut off their limbs. Animals are precious to me, and I have nothing to fear but my own mistakes around animals. They have their own nature. The nature of these men are cruel. I would sink to their level to make them sink as far as they caused this shark to sink.
I hope those two people who call themselves men get their legs cut off and thrown into the ocean
They need their d***s cut off any tbtow them back in the ocean to bleed to death POS
They are not good ppl good ppl would not do that. This just sick and evil o hope u go to jail or get a fine that u pay fir 10 years worth kill a helpless anmail is shameful kill to eat or fush ti releases..
Good call,Jason and others connected with the condemnation of these mongrels....They actually look as if they only share One brain cell between the two of them...I hope they use it to try and work out how to redeem themselves...I wish only bad,sad and perrenially bad luck and annoyance on these brutes and their families.
I can just imagine.....couldn't watch the video for it has been removed. Probably because it is so vile. Karma has her way. She usually comes back and bites you in the a*s, that is, if yours isn't cut off already. Shame on anyone who lets any animal suffer. Thank you Jason. You rock, as always.
Adds fuel to my suggested new sport; Predation. "Predators" would have license to stalk hunters and poachers, in a kill or be killed scenario. If your average schmuck hunter who destroys life for their sadistic enjoyment had to consider that there might be another hunter who is licensed to kill them, there might be a decrease in the number of callous, shallow individuals who kill only for killing's sake. While this may sound much like the "Predator" in the movies, I was for this hunter on hunter protocol long before the fictional character ever existed.
Wha...how...my God, why goes through someone's mind to actually do this????? I have no words!
It's disgraceful. These guys enjoyed what they did out of sheer fun. Borderline Psychopaths. So, get hold of them, chuck them into a area of water infested by sharks. Tgats brutal but an eye for an eye.. Maybe joking aside, they should be made accountable for this. A huge fine relative to their income... The process of animal cruelty I am dead against. Shark fin soup process should be partitioned against and stopped.... I am not a vegetarian either.
Humans kill some 300 million sharks a year but they are the dangerous ones because they mistake people for seals few times a year.
The only way to stop animal cruelty is to expose, embarrass and punish but also we have to educate, set examples and see something do something policy.... have we become the animal? Even animals have more respect and are sympathetic to the wounded ! We must teach our children to respect ALL life if we are to help stop this!
Hack off their feet and other appendage so their flawed genetic material doesn’t get disseminated.....
I am horrified at the cruelty, stupidity and ignorance of these two idiots. They should be fined and jailed for this horrific act. Man is the only "animal" that kills for sport which is beyond cruel but evil!
If just cutting the tail of was bad enough for a normal shark, the greenland shark is currently being researched and is nearly endangered, due to its age lenth, which is 500 years, and could easily tip into a very serious situation with this act going on
F*****g a******s. Give me an axe and I'll gladly chop their d***s off. F*****g unreal.
I'll take it to the other side. Whatever you do in life, will come back to you like a boomerang, for good or for bad. They will get their punishment and one day or another they'll pay for everything, damn bloody bastards.
Though sharks strike fear in people it’s to be remembered that they are wild creatures and usually we are in their habitats. To be cruel for laughs because you haven’t learned to respect others right to life has become all too common. Sentence these (I hesitate to call them men) guys to learn about the ocean and the life in it and how it all intertwines with our lives. Make them teach what they learn.
This is so disturbing and disgusting. What was the point of this cruelty??? Fun??? They lost their jobs...so what. Put these useless pieces of trash in jail for inhumanity and cruelty to animals!!! Better yet cut off their hands and feet and drop them in the ocean so the sharks can smell their cold blood and feast on them!!!
I am with you Jason momoa yes it's sick and vile s**t and I hope those f*****s get theirs
I sat here in shock and disgust for several seconds, then the tears came. I won't watch the video because it will probably make me physically ill. If nothing legal can be done, hopefully the people who know how to find these bastards will dish out their own form of punishment. This reinforces my belief that I did the right thing by not bringing children into this world.
an evil heart is an evil heart....trust when I say they would have no problem doing something like this to a human being if they caught them in a defenseless situation....they will have no problem finding a home with one hate group or another....
These two "men" and I use that word loosely, are pieces of Sh*t. I hope they reap what they have sown. Sickening morons.
I wonder if Jason Mamoa feels this badly about babies being killed daily by dismemberment, burned to death with saline solution, suctioned out by vacuuming, ........, all being done, while in the baby's supposedly safest place, in his/her mother's womb. So Jason, do you feel as badly for a helpless baby, as you do for a shark?
So you condemn to starvation and privation innocent children? Do you take them into your own home, educate them completely according to their mothers' wishes, allow them to worship and dress to suit themselves? If not, you're a goddam hypocrite, and have nothing to add to this discussion. Go troll somewhere else.
Load More Replies...Because non-human animals aren’t worth s**t to most people. They eat them, so they must be inferior, right? So long as we continue to treat non-human animals as inferior to the human animal, we also will be able to continue to dehumanize each other with racism and war propaganda.
Laws need to change. This is sadistic and cruel. That poor animal suffered until it died. How can this be right?
That was so sickening I can bring myself to watch it...Maybe karma will get them and they will end up being shark bait!!
POSSIBLE criminal charges?!!! Cut off THIER tails and release these miscreants into a large dirty industrial zone in a city... see how THEY like it
Cruelty to animals, children, and each other, is accelerating at a horrible rate. Those two men are AWFUL, glad they were fired, and hope they get fined and jail time. Dear Lord!
Burning them would be too good for them... but I would still like too
ersonally, these two are already changed. they are evil shits an karma is a b***h. she is hunting you right now! I hope you get jail time over this, just because it was so cruel. What's next? cutting the legs off of a child then throwing it into the street to survive? If I was healthy, I would be over there and hunting you and swords are my favorite weapon. Ones that can cut through bone.
What the absolute f**k? WHY would someone do something like that. They obviously have the mentality of severely disturbed 12 year olds. I hope them being fired is just the beginning ...
Karma will come back and bite them in the @ss. Humans can be so evil, nasty, and horrible... There are not enough words to discribe. How awful those 2 idiots are. I hope you suffer for the rest of your life for what you have done to that beautiful animal.
Piece of shits will Rot in jail. Stupid YouTube for taking the video down.
people who do this to animals have mental issues. I am not joking or being sarcastic. They should get checked
Karma will come for them! Its very patient and strikes with a vengence
lower than low jerks! I hate people who intentionally hurt people or animals that are defenseless. I know they will get theirs some day.
It makes me sick at heart! What sewer did these scum buckets crawl out of?
I'm sad and mad about this. This is an ENDANGERED species on top of this horrific thing they did to it... Jason always has the biggest heart because he's so connected with nature. He's a man I'd love to meet and hug and thank! These two men... I'd kick them in the balls so hard they would never walk right again! I hope Karma visits them very very soon!
Karma. I hope both these men get arrested and thrown in jail. Other inmates have no tolerance for child and animal abusers.
Like wolfcrestphoto pointed out, that's old news. Shark fin soup is a delicacy in some countries, and for years they have cut off their finds, not just the tail, and thrown them overboard. Let's hope that with this video things will change. Totally inhumane.
My heart aches. I can hardly breathe. I hope they get every single thing they deserve. Why does there have to be such cruelty in this world? I am so overwhelmed with disgust that they are breathing the same air that I do. Why do the innocent always suffer while the cruel and heartless just laugh at the world? It is almost too much to bear.
Newshub in NZ reports that the two were fired. There are possible criminal charges pending, as this is an endangered species.
I can't believe that. The human race at its lowest. They should be executed. Disgusting pieces of s**t.
Ok sharks can be very brutal at times but they are creatures of the wild and they attack humans at times however Iwould never ever want this kind of cruelty to happen to them and if that is similar to how they make shark fin soup I will never have it.... not that I ever wanted it anyway. Lol I hope these two men do get fined and/or put away in prison, this is barbaric, that poor shark will have died a painful unnecessary death. Sharks do not have a moral compass when it comes to what they eat , but we do and we should.
DISGRACEFUL. Millions of sharks have their fins culled and they are then thrown back into the ocean as useless feed. It always amazes me how people jump up and down how sharks are these frightening creatures, I find people are much more so. Greenland sharks are an amazing species of shark if you should ever spend some time reading up on them. I truly hope authorities over there decide to follow up on action against these imbeciles.
Even if it doesn’t fall under the one illegal act of cruelty (which it is regardless of it being wild they are still a feeling species) they should be brought up on charges due to it being a endangered animal. People like this don’t deserve the air they breath or the space they take up. I hope karma bites them in their disgusting a*s!!
Omg!! I couldn’t watch the video! The pictures were bad enough!! Remember those faces, Animal cruelty with no regard is the first step to being a serial killer!!! I hope they lose their wY of getting through life,,?like their jobs, their, their vehicles and most of all their freedom!
I hope they are punished with jail time. People who do this to animals also do this to people. Just sayin'.
I can't even look at the video as it upsets me so much .I can't believe that grown men couldn't carry out such cruelty to a defenceless creatures and laugh about it . If they can do this and laugh at that I wouldn't trust them with a child or defenceless person in their custody . They are evil monsters .
I sure as hell wouldn't want a guy Jason Momoa's size pissed at me. So even if they avoid prosecution, we could all pitch in and buy Jason plane fare to go have a one-on-one (one-on-two?) chat with these cretins.
If it is a threatened animal, wouldn't it be protected? Shouldn't there be updated laws that deal with this? This isn't thre first time animal cruelty was publicized on social media. These actions should be punishable under law.
I'm emotional right now, so I just wanna write that I hope these two idiots get some kind of punishment for what they did to that innocent greenland shark. The human race can still surprice me .
I hope they burn in hell! I didn't have the heart to watch the video but it still pisses me off!! How heartless!! I hope at least they get a hefty fine!!
Countries that abuse and waste animals in the ocean or on land should be held with International sanctions this behavior is third world and it should not be tolerated there's enough Seafood in the ocean without destroying species. The world would be a wonderful place without humans
I truly hope what these sick degenerates get back what they did to that poor shark 3x3 times worse. Karma is a b***h when you do something so inhumane. I only wish I could be there to help them get what they deserve!!
Don't like this at all. Bored Panda is my happy place. Please don't share such evil again here, in the Bubble.
They must have been awful as children doing harm to animals from early on.
Someone should cut their legs off and drop them out in the middle of the ocean. This truly sickens me. It makes you wonder what else have they done that still remains s a secret. Karma is a b***h guys and I hope she visits you soon.
I bet at home they sit around torturing the neighborhood dogs and cats.
There's something wrong with these guys that goes beyond mutilating sharks. I don't know what it is but they've not human beings.
" “If no law covers this then they cannot be punished,” lawyer Árni Stefán Árnasson said in an interview with Icelandic news outlet RUV." Wanna bet, Árni?
So many hungry people has to live out of hunting and fishing just to,ingest the proteins needed. But those faces! Those guys enjoyed cutting the fin and releasing the fish, that is disgusting nd hopefully they face criminal charges
Well, they just ruined their own lives. The internet is a ruthless vigilante, and never have I been more glad for the fact. Richly, richly deserved.
I cant even watch the video. That shark had its tails cut off, thousands of other sharks are having their fins cut off and they all suffer and die. Its f*****g sickening. I hope these bastards go to jail
*ahem* a shark isn't a fish.. The fish exclusion doesn't apply, jail them ☺️
I can’t stop crying... haven’t and won’t watch the video, just the photo and the reaction it causes in two human beings... how? Thank you, Jason.
Be nice if they came face to face with Jason! I'd love to see him wack their tails off!!
Could we all take turns beating these ball less a/holes.. I'd pay.. :)
I think everyone, especially the culprits , should watch "Racing Extinction" The entire documentary is on Youtube under the uploader 'sfdungeon' . Please take the time to watch it, and share it. Thanks.
Anyone who hurts anything for joy needs the punishment befitting the crime... What horrible people.. I just hope Karma deals with you fairly
Can someone please grab these two twats, cut them so they bleed a lot and dump them in freshly chummed shark infested water? Oh, and of course film the whole thing while laughing at these pieces of s**t slowly being eaten. That's justice. WTF is wrong with people who seem to truly enjoy torturing animals? Ugh. Once again, I'm ashamed of my species.
You will get what you deserve you sadistic bastards karma is finish with you yet
THIS IS F*****G ANIMAL ABUSE. PUT THEM IN PRISON FOR LIFE AND CHOP THOSE LIMBS OFF. >:(
Please read the comment of "wolfcrestphoto" in the thread above on the disgustingly cruel practice of shark finning. You can find more facts here: https://sharkstewards.org/shark-finning/shark-finning-fin-facts/
They deserve to have a couple of limbs cut off - like legs - and say "Good luck trying to walk, you punks." We need more justice for animal abusers. Defenseless creatures that are tortured means the abuser is not fit for society and should be isolated. I hate them. Makes me cry.
If one is gonna kill something then just kill it even though leaving things alone is always the right thing to do no exceptions. Torture is the act of half baked or full blown sociopaths. Anyone who finds torture of any sort amusing, funny, sexually arousing or relaxing should be killed for the greater good of the world
Someone please post their names and addresses and let some wacko take care of this for us! I promise to look the other way...
they should have their d***'s cut off!!! Oh wait... Those two idiots never had one to begin with!
I hope they cut your d***s off & see how you can pee or even f**k each other m***********s
You people commenting are disgusting. Putting an animal above human beings! You’re slaughtering these two men! Leave them alone!
simple answer chop off their balls and 1 leg and release them back into the population. Just like what they did to the shark.
instead of clicking "like" people should throw a few $$ to organizations that fight people like poachers. Needless to say the Chinese are the worst culprits.
Here's their FB pages - c***s! https://www.facebook.com/halldorgustaf https://www.facebook.com/gunni.odins
Not only do I hope karma comes back at them, but may it haunt the sickening family you people have
The family has nothing to do with their dumb actions. If they are supporting them... then ok
