This 8 meters long manta ray was caught in Peru

Giant SeaPeen

what the fuck is that

Why did they catch it tough, it's not like they are going to eat it.

sad

If it's alive, put it back...

Why would you kill that thing

Dammit can't people respect nature and put that lovely thing back in her world

mantine

Whydid they fish it out of the water?

Imagine scuba diving and seeing one of these fuckers

PUT IT BACK.

That is scientifically known as the giant sea flap flap

So they just kill it and say "Oh it's so rare and cool, let it suffocate in the air"

but why?? this is sad :(

Am I the only one wondering what that dangly pink thing is?

This Manta Ray swam into a fishing boat's net, they were not looking to capture it. They did try to bring it on their boat, that's when it got so tangled in the net that it could not be freed and died. At which point they decided to bring it back to shore. They certainly were not proud of catching it or bragging about it. However they could have been using smaller nets to keep this from happening. In that area Manta Rays are worth more alive then dead because of tourism to see the creatures. So while this is sad, it's not cause to hate against humanity.

why did they kill it!!
