Horrifying stories of marine animals being killed so that beachgoers can take selfies with them have been surfacing for more than a year now, and yet many others have not learned their lesson: don’t mess with animals for photos. Most of the time, it’s babies that have become stranded and are in need of help that are targeted and wind up dead, and that’s exactly what might have happened to this baby shark that was grabbed by tourists in Brazil.
This past Monday, a couple from the mainland were on vacation on the Brazilian island of Fernando de Noronha when they happened upon a tiny lemon shark on the shore. Rather than leaving the shark be, as should always be done with animals that aren’t clearly in need of help, the woman seeks out the shark and yanks it out of the water.
