The laughing, jovial men who are in a now viral video which shows a shark being mercilessly dragged behind a speeding boat have been identified. According to Wednesday’s publication of the Miami Herald, the men have been identified by Florida wildlife officials, but their identities are not yet being made public.

The video sparked outrage as it began circulating on social media – one of the laughing men can be heard saying “Look it’s almost dead,” as the shark’s body is flailed around in the churning water behind the boat. After the horrific boat dragging ended, one of the men held up the mangled body of the shark for a photo.shark mangled during cruel video

Officials were alerted to the sickening act after one of the people in the video gave it to Capt. Mark Quartiano, a renowned Florida shark hunter. Quartiano alerted the authorities and offered his thoughts on what was portrayed in the video, “I’ve killed tens of thousands of sharks but not tortured them, not inhumanely and not disrespected them like that.”

The case is still being investigated – anyone with information is asked to reach out to the state hotline at 888-404-FWCC (3922) or online at [email protected].

  1. I have a speed boat that I’d like to tie these assholes by the feet to and open her up and drown these insensitive bastards!!!!!!!

  2. These humans killed an animal for their own entertainment! They must be prosecuted and put in jail! Cruelty as entertainment is unacceptable! Those who are guilty of this must be put in jail!

  3. While I have no great love for sharks, I would not hurt one either…… I leave them alone and hope for the same courtesy……..

    These POS’s are disgusting and deserve to be heavily fined and locked up forever until they die and go straight to Hell to burn forever for their cruelty……..

    Another article alluded to these POS’s using a dog as bait…… even more horrible……. I truly hope they die in pain and afraid………

    RIP poor dog and poor shark……. you didn’t deserve your horrible deaths as amusement for these lowlife POS’s………..

  4. Sorry….. but hunting of any kind is abuse….. this one was just worse case scenario. If hunting killed the animal INSTANTLY….they never knew what hit them…maybe it could be considered humane. But very few kills are instant.

  5. cant wait to see their names and addresses ,maybe take a ride down south and do the the world a favor and bring these little dick pansies fishing, maybe ill let the other sharks play with them

  6. Heartless,soulless,evil POS assholes! WAKE UP AMERICA!!! Stop with the slap on the wrists punishments for All animal torturers,abusers and killers! This is such a sickening,sickening brutal act! Start harshly punishing these damn abusers and we just might start ebbing the rampant torture and abuse of animals! When will ALL of society put their foot down and say enough is enough and we are not going to tolerate this horrror any longer! Until that is set in stone it will just contine to grow and flourish with every passing year!

  7. I’m glad they have found this bunch of idiots. There is no reason to do something like this, I hope they enjoy their 15 minutes of fame in jail!

  8. I JUST WANT TO TIE THOSE BASTARDS BEHIND A SPEEDING BOAT AND DRAG THEM UNTIL THEY DIED. WHAT A SICK HORRIFIC ACT WHO JUST COULDN’T GO IN THE BOAT BUT HAD TO TAKE A INNOCENT SHARK AND TORTURE HIM. I JUST WANT TO BEAT THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF THESE USELESS BASTARDS. HOPE THEY ROT AND DIE.

    • I saw on the news the shark first suffocated to death first that it is like us being dragged underwater, how long to you think we would of lasted being dragged like that? Didn’t these guys use a dog for shark bait too?
