@@torontotonto6189 There's no market for that amount of shark meat. They throw them back into the sea because they're essentially useless to them apart from their fins.
I liked Gordon Ramsay's short documentary following around the source of finning around Africa. That was the first time I saw how awful this was. He nearly got himself in trouble confronting someone about it.
That was a great documentary…and *so* disturbing to see all those fins on the roof drying…😪 Thank you for doing your part to help educate us about this barbaric trade!
I’m not a diver, or an animal rights activist. I also live in the woods in south central Ohio. But i was raised to not kill anything unless i need to eat. This is just another reason why i keep my distance from people.
I’ve hunted and fished my whole life. You are so right! Only kill to eat. And You don’t waste any of the meat. Period. This is disgusting, cruel and wasteful. There’s no reason for fisherman to murder sharks like this for only 6% of the edible meat they could give.
@@Dylansftp There are species that you HAVE to hunt and reduce as they are invasive. I'd rather have hunters eat those then just killing them because they need to for ecological reasons. The problem is not that we consume meat it's how we acquire said meat and how much we eat of it. I blame poachers a thousand times fold more then actual hunters doing their job. I've never met a hunter that didn't carry huge respect for the nature they surround themselves in. It's mainly those that never witnessed or had to do a slaughter by themselves. Hell when I was shaving sheep's with a farmer I worked for it felt awful to.judt fixate it's legs so it wouldn't be hurt in the shaving process. Not to speak of witnessing the neutering of piglets.. That stuff gives you a new perspective real fast. These farmers are the ones that are often emotionally dull due to their work not the hunters.
Absolutely disgusted what we humans are doing to these magnificent creatures. Well done for sharing Woody. It was a really hard watch, but we need to learn and educate people!
I have no shame or guilt in this issue, I don't eat it or support it and it's illegal where I live. Call out those who are responsible, virtue signaling some collective human guilt doesn't do anything.
Thank you Woody for bringing light to this important topic. I hadn't seen that video before and it was heart wrenching to watch. Your point about removing the apex predators is important. As those grouper, jacks and other fish multiply they over consume the reef fish including the herbivores that are needed to remove the algae so that the corals can thrive. We also have a problem here in Florida with the likes of Mark the Shark. Despicable people like him who are on a mission to kill every shark need to be stopped.
What part of the world is the root cause of a significant number of crucial animals becoming endangered. From birds to reptiles, the biggest land mammals on earth and a huge number of our ocean species. Its horrifying.
I need to know....if you could go back in time and unse this video, would you? I rather see a human suffer than an animal btw (Because I know the human at least understands).
@@sponsler884 It has no real taste, just a gross slimy texture. It's still served at weddings and formal banquets, but thankfully more and more people, especially the younger generation, are using substitutes or forgoing them all together.
This is heartbreaking. I love sharks and used to swim with them for biology research and they are nothing but peaceful and “puppy like” in my opinion. Beautiful animals just living their life. thank you for helping raise awareness on this
If it wasnt for the movie Jaws. I feel like more people would like sharks and care for them. I know people that wont even get in the ocean because of the stupid myth sharks eat people. They only attack if you look like a seal or if someone fucks with them.
To me this a perfect example of humanity, there are many people who try to do good and have some positive impact on the world and there are others who’s greed totally rules every decision they make. They don’t care about cruelty, certainly what’s right or wrong as long they be if it from it, most of them end up being politicians that tell the rest of the world how evil we are.
I need to know....if you could go back in time and unse this video, would you? I rather see a human suffer than an animal btw (Because I know the human at least understands).
Great concept Woody, same as the extinction and reintroduction of wolves in the the Yellowstone area. The entire ecology changed once they became top predator again. I like where your thinking is going on this topic.
I couldn’t watch it because videos like that will make me lose sleep for days and completely cast a cloud over my life but I let it play to hear what you wanted to tell us and just hearing the descriptions alone was haunting and bone chilling. Thank you so much for sharing this horrible thing to make people aware.
I knew about this and have always been horrified that this is a thing that happens… but seeing it. Wow. I want to cry. Thank you for explaining how important and wonderful sharks are and how truly devastating this is, not only to the sharks who have to suffer in such a horrific way, but also for humanity itself. We’ve brutally we’ve destroyed so many things. It’s heartbreaking

@8:42 Tapping out after maybe 10 seconds. I just CAN'T 💔 But, I do believe in karma and these fishermen's souls are blighted beyond measure. 100,000,000 a year??? Jesus wept
I’m in grad school at UofSC’s school of public health doing research in Oceans and Human Health. The short answer is, our oceans are our life support, and to destroy them will wipe us out. I am a supporter of sustainable fishing and consumption of seafood but, like the video said, this is cruel and wasteful. It is doubly sad is that some of the people who participate in these cruel activities do so because it is one of the only ways they can make a good living. We have to tackle many issues to save our oceans but I have hope that each individual person choosing to doing all they can will have a huge impact.
Thank you so much for sharing this Woody, growing up I’ve always loved sharks they are one of my favourite animals and the act of shark finning is appalling in so many ways.
Thank you so, so much for posting this. Sharks are amazing, intelligent, beautiful animals that absolutely do no deserve the culling of their species or the bad rep they get. I had the privilege to freedive with Great Hammerheads and fear was the last thing I felt. Caution, common sense, and awareness of one's surroundings is all that it takes to understand that sharks are out to get you and that they're not mindless killing machines. They're an apex predator in the ocean and that is their home and should be treated as such. So devastating what's happening to them.
Watch Saving Jaws and Playing with Sharks. Very, very, very powerful movies on the subject of this cruel, brutal, and barbaric practice. React to these movies!
I scrolled down through the really bad part of the video because I've seen similar videos in the past. I am glad you are showing people the truth about this topic.
I am speechless, when you said its brutal you were bang on,thats brutally & torture..i dont understand why we are not educated about the cruelty that goes on.. This is why i am glad we have this platform & people like you can open the doors to subjects like this.. Thankyou for opening our eyes,although its heart breaking..
Hey Woody! I love your content and an a new watcher who's binged all of your videos so much respect! I was wondering if you could react to seaspiracy? They cover a lot on shark fin soup but also beyond because, in truth, the industrial fishing industry is doing far more damage to sharks than shark fin soup is and if more people realised, that by stopping eating fish, they themselves could save sharks that would he amazing!
This… was extremely hard to see I’m so use to people exaggerating when they say something is going to be hard to watch that I watched this video when I probably should not have I’ve been making a Shark coloring book for my little sister because she loves sharks and this just made me start crying thinking of my little sister who loves sharks and wants to study them but may never get the chance because of cruel human beings like the ones within this video 😭
I simply can't watch animal abuse, it breaks my heart. I donate to shelters and have adopted many animals over the years, mostly horses, sheep, and cattle. Thanks, Woody for being so compassionate.
Thank you Woody. You warn us very well. I thought I would be strong enough to watch the worst of the humanity. Turned out I wasn’t… I’ll spread the word..
I thought the shark love was just a funny shtick by Woody but this made me realise that this is far more of a dyer situation! I've been following the decline of reefs around the world and under water life but this is gut wrenching...
This brought me to tears!! I was unaware that shark killings were happening on such a huge scale. I'm truly disgusted. I agree that without the shark, the ever so delicate ecosystem would fail. Geez.. 😣thrown back helpless, in shock, and paralyzed until they die. This made me sick, but I applaud you Woody for calling attention to this atrocity. I feel like I stay pretty abreast of what's going on in the world, esp where animals are concerned, but I had ZERO idea the scale on which these amazing creatures are being slaughtered. They're horendously tortured first too. Woody, you're so right. This is murder!!
Gone on a bit of a binge today and i’ve reached this video. Wow. The man describing how the fins are removed. ‘The shark is disabled so it can’t do anything’ Is it not already helpless being turfed out of its habitat in the first place? Shocking, but very informative video.
Recently watched a brilliant documentary on this topic, called Seaspiracy. It made me completely give up seafood. I know it doesn't solve the problem, but after learning about it, I just couldn't do it on an emotional level.
Yeah that’s a good one. Honestly, it’s shocking to me how many of these commenters still eat seafood, yet are outraged by this. Hypocrisy at its finest. If you thought that doc was bad, try watching Dominion. I’d challenge anyone to get through that with dry eyes. I haven’t eaten any meat in 5 years.
Woody would you ever want to dive with Orcas? They tend to be found in colder waters I've heard, and they are basically permanent scuba divers given how intelligent they are. Unfortunately they are hunted ruthlessly by some fishermen as well. Such a shame.
I'm sorry as soon as they said finding sharks. I have to stop watching. This is the only video of yours that I haven't completed/ watched multiple times. So since you can't get my view count I'm leaving a comment. Thanks for all the amazing videos. I hope to one day learn to scuba dive to experience all the amazing life our earth has, but until then I will live vicariously through you two amazing guys! P.S. I personally would love more Ed videos! His stories are better than the movies especially with you guys breaking it down for us non/hopeful future divers!
I'm afraid of sharks, but I can't stand to watch people killing them. It's so upsetting. I live in charleston west virginia, very much land locked. Ok, I tried to watch it, Woody, I just couldn't, I have a soft heart for animals.. I tried.
100 000 000!! That’s almost an incomprehensible number it’s just savagery and so wrong and a large amount of these end up in a soup bowl. I’m a carnivore (and a chef) however that isn’t the argument here, what I’m saying is that regardless of your views on the eating of meat this is despicable the vast numbers and the method of torturing the animals is wrong and in my opinion totally unjustifiable 😢
Cows, chickens and pigs don't suffer any less than that shark. Not saying conventional slaughter is as cruel to the ecosystem, but it is 100% equally cruel to the victim.
I have to disagree with that comment all the animals you listed are killed as quickly (normally) as possible not butchered like the shark and then thrown back to die a slow and presumably agonising death. If your produce is coming from somewhere like that I’d seriously think about looking into find a different supplier!
@@IrishDougal Normally, cows, chickens and pigs do actually suffer non-instant deaths. I know this is the case in the US, UK and Australia, but I'm sure other countries do things better. However, what I meant with my comment was that a cow has the same capacity to suffer as a shark. Videos of cows being stabbed to death: "Hey that's food." Videos of sharks being stabbed to death: "Such savagery!" I am pointing out the speciesism. How animals are killed is very varied, but plenty of footage from so called "free range" and "grass fed" farms reveal they have it no better than the shark. But frankly, whether the shark above was euthanised humanely or stabbed would not have made a difference. People empathise with sharks, but not with cows.
I sympathise with all animals my point was the way in which the animal is killed and I also never mentioned instant I also know given the choice I’d take a bolt to the head rather than having my leg chopped off and left to bleed to death. I’ve worked across Europe and know how all the meat that I use is raised and butchered I understand that’s not viable for everyone. Regardless my original point was about the sharks in the video who I have the same respect for as any living creature and that I find the brutality abhorrent as I would I’d if the video was about conventionally farmer animals if they were being treated with the same level of disregard. I understand your point about speciesism however it’s not applicable to the point I was trying to make.
@@IrishDougal Sure, fair enough. I would also prefer a boltgun rather than bleed to death, as would the shark and any sentient animal for that matter. Most people (not you) would never eat shark meat regardless of how it was sourced, but would eat beef selectively. That's kind of what my point was.
Thank you for raising awareness! I think that you described the consequences occuring due to shark decline well. Overall, it is a bit more complicated than the main points you mentioned, because they do more than food web control (e.g. sharks are important for nutrient cycling, control of diseases, regulation of invasive species populations) but, the important message you brought across remains the same: we need to do something! And soon! Most of the shark species are at least threatened with extinction, mainly because of fishing pressure but also because of habitat loss and other climate change related problems. We cannot ignore that countless sharks are slaughtered every day. For me they are special, majestjc and beautiful animals (my favourite- hope to see them soon for the first time in real life while diving). Sadly, for the average person they are not as important. Maybe because they don't seem as cuddly and friendly as your 'neighborhood' dolphin... Bad news for the ignorant people, dolphins will also have to pay the price for the actions of humankind, as countless other species will have to. Once they are extinct, there will be multiple things affecting all different kinds of marine ecosystems and it is not going to be pretty...
thank you Woody, this is a topic that is very near and dear to me. I still remember my parents being excited to try shark fin soup at a Chinese restaurant 10 years ago. there needs to be more awareness for these types of things as sharks are very important to the aquatic ecosystem.
I love you Woody, I love Dive Talk but I can’t watch this. The first 30 seconds had me crying and literally sick to my stomach. I’ll never understand how people can be so cruel. 😩
It’s disgusting that so many sharks are murdered every year. It’s not sustainable and you’re correct, we’re seeing the negative effects of it in our waters. Very sad. I wish I could go do the same to those people that are killing the sharks.
I need to know....if you could go back in time and unse this video, would you? I rather see a human suffer than an animal btw (Because I know the human at least understands).
I'm sorry. I couldn't watch. Not oblivious to the fact it's going on. And do whatever i can to support those fighting these evil people. But, i just can't watch stuff like this.... The Cove, Blackfish, that Don't Mess With Cats one, i just can't. It would hurt my soul deep enough that i wouldn't want to live with the images in my head.
Thank you for your thoughts, Woody. I am very curious about your opinions on the sharks in the Palm Beach County area. Myself as a fisherman have noticed that the shark population seems to be increasing and their predation has increased in these areas (I seem to notice that they are more aggressive about taking fish off of our lines). I fish in Stuart and Jupiter. There seems to be a sentiment among recreational fishermen that there are too many sharks around and they are actually causing the opposite effect in especially the Jupiter area. I know and understand the issues in Asia and am 100% on board with you there, but I think it is dangerous to compare what is going on there to what is going on here (loss of ocean biomass and seemingly increase in shark activity in the PBCounty area). Would be interested to hear more of your wisdom about this
This is beyond stupidity in my opinion, we are killing ourselves, through killing our Oceans. I do not blame the fisherman, sorry to say. If it were not for the people that purchase Shark Fin products, these fisherman would not be killing sharks. My heart breaks for these and many other animals we have wiped off the face of this planet.
Hunters barely kill 6 million deer year, people go nuts about Bambi and the forests. (I'm a canadian so forest advocate, but hunting helps that), 100 million shark is absolutely insane, and the worst part is they probably waste a majority of the meat too
Ive never heard of this. Can somebody please explain the purpose of this? What exactly is the objective? How does this make money for these peasants? I assumed shark hunters would use the whole body to sell as food. Not just cut its body parts off and throw it back in alive and suffering. Wtf?!
This video, to whaling, to SeaWorld.. To poaching, Zoos, the exotic animal trade.. The pets that fall through the cracks. The treatment of our food. If you truly care about animals, the weight of the pain you gotta carry on your shoulders.. It's a lot. We're shit to each other for all the wrong reasons. But the things we do animals on a daily basis and the reasons we do them, its soul crushing. What hurts more is how fucking far we are away from doing anything about these problems🙏
Hard to watch... man greed is a messed up thing.. to be a savage and kill animals like this.. thats how i look at it, its not their culture ... its that they are savages.. with no empathy or morals
Just why tho? Like why tf cut their fins and tail off just to dump them back in the water like that? Just brutal and messed up. Also the death count list at the end was truly mind blowing. Thanks woody and thanks dive talk for another great video💎
I screamed out so many negative emotions when i saw. These people are from greedy selfish backgrounds. I wonder what international lawers are doing about it Despicable behaviour
These videos are always so hard to watch and yet so important. Thank you for bringing this to the world's attention Woody. I wish people understood that all the animals, insects, so are worth our respect and protection. Sad to say, much of humanity is not by choice.
For the beginning of the video 2 things I love you said. 1 sharks. Sharks are the wolfs of the seas. You can see where they (wolfs) have changes the eco system in Yellowstone. You can see where sharks have changed the banks. So loss of one thing can cause a downfall big or small. Also you said the natural life of climate. And not to get big into it but I think life moves on climate will change as we have seen in multiple ice ages we had. Then also yea we have caused some increase but it’s how we live. And life is life. Woody the hippy of the sea. What make it so so so horrible is the sharks are still alive then left to drowned. So sad for anything. So so sad.
After the neck is cut do they even feel anything else? Still obviously a monstrous act and the pain and suffering of that alone is likely immense. But I think it's important to be accurate about what is happening.
Thanks so much for saying this and watching it. It’s hard to watch but this level of murder is happening and could damage the entire planet. It’s wrong on every account.
5:42 I do not believe that we will survive if we continue to ruin the oceans. I *_highly_* recommend everyone watch the Seaspiracy documentary on Netflix to learn more about how we are decimating our oceans and more such as human trafficking issues at sea!
As someone who hunts and fishes for food.. this video is completely disgusting, that level of disrespect for living animals is just unhuman. That's literally the same as taking a human cutting his arms and legs off and throwing him in the dirt. These people deserve the worst in my mind.
I'm not even going to watch this. I'm not a bleeding heart liberal. I know what the subject matter often this video is and am familiar with the subject. I just can't and wont watch. thank you for bringing this into the light and enlightening others. God bless the beasts and the children. they have no choice. they have no voice.
Humanity disgusts me when it can do stuff like this. How is this legal? Let them have their necks and backs slit, their limbs cut off and then just tossed uncaringly aside but that is frowned upon isn’t it. I hate videos like this but I feel it’s important to see them to fully understand the situation at hand. I don’t understand how anyone can justify this
This made me sick. I don't even want to say what this makes me want to do. Animal videos like this touch a nerve in me that make me not feel and think like myself. It's just a good thing I don't act on it............Not yet, anyways.
I kept putting off watching this one because it makes me so angry and sad. Anyone who does this to sharks or who eats shark fin soup or other shark products should be put in the soup pot themselves.
I don't consider myself a hugely smart person, but I can say for a fact that God doesn't like it when you brutalize his creatures, they will have to answer for these actions at their death or at some point ☝️
So disgusting and hard to watch , I know they are trying to make it illegal . But I genuinely believe we need sharks , I mean they were around before us and they are the ones who clean up our ocean , like with the whale carcasses. Idk either way , this is the most disgusting and heart wrenching video ever , to just cut them and throw them overboard is so sick .
I think there's an unfortunate dark side to humanity that can easily encroach any person who lacks empathy and understanding. I apologize because this post is going to be longer than what I would normally post, but I think it's a very important observation that ties in with this video. From what I know about animals, a lot of their behavior is done entirely based on instinct. If we could speak to a cat and ask them why they rub their faces on things, would they even know? It's just instinct. Maybe it feels good, maybe it makes them feel safer, but it's just instinctual feelings. Humans have instincts as well of course. A lot of phobias are some instinctual. I have a fear of the open ocean; a fear of the unknown predators lurking in the distance unseen, but I've never been TAUGHT this. I've never been attacked by anything in the ocean. I was scared of the dark as a child as well, and I had never encountered a predator of any kind. It's an irrational and instinctual fear that I have. Humans have the luxury of higher thinking. We're so far removed from the constant need to focus on survival at all costs that we don't have to run on instinct. Sometimes we even do things directly in spite of those instincts because we're able to use logic and reasoning. Unfortunately some people take what I can only assume to be related to the feelings of survival and bring it to a dark place. The basic goal of any living thing on Earth is survival. Imagine a prehistoric human fighting off an aggressive bear in order to defend his family, and how good he would feel after defeating this predator who was directly posing a threat to himself and those he cared about. The point here is that it's not the act of killing that makes you feel good, it's the fact that you were afraid of a threat which is now gone and you no longer feel afraid. You're not getting a high off of the kill, you're simply returning from a state of negative emotion to a state of neutral emotion. What if that same human is actively seeking out bears in THEIR homes to slaughter because it makes them feel good? That's just a murderer. You feel powerful because you're eliminating a supposed threat, but premeditated murder isn't a survival instinct. You are not responding to fear and defending yourself, you're using your intelligence to hunt down animals who are just existing in their own sphere of nature. Hunting for food is one thing, but hunting for fun is another. Animals don't typically kill for fun, they kill for basic needs or in response to a direct encounter with a possible threat. If I could talk to that same cat from my earlier example and tell them "hey, there's a big bear in that cave" their instinct is going to be to stay the hell away from that cave at all costs. Humans have started killing for power and greed. Some people do it for sport because they want to feel powerful, and others do it to make money. The problems occur when you remove yourself from nature to the extent that we have while failing to consider or care what you're actually DOING to the world around you. We have the intelligence to be able to defy nature in some absolutely crazy ways, BUT the same intelligence we use to defy nature also allows us to understand nature to a higher degree than other animals. A cat doesn't need to think about the implications of their hunt because they're only obeying their natural instincts. They get food when they're hungry. Humans are smart enough to know that hunting more fish today means you don't have to hunt tomorrow. We're also smart enough to define murder and know that it is wrong, but we don't always care that it is wrong. I can only hope that, one day, humans will evolve as a species such that those of us who don't care for nature will die out. Not talking murdering those who don't care for nature of course, but species evolve to better suit the world around them. If the world no longer has a place for humans who commit acts of murder against nature, then that trait will hopefully die out. Too many people are getting away with it right now. We have such immense power as a species and can do wonderful things for the world, but we can also harm it all the same.
Hey Woody, you should check out the documentary called "Earthlings" for a more comprehensive look at the level of cruelty all animals receive and it’s called business as usual. I know this is a diving channel so there is actually section in documentary just about cruelty towards sea life that would be pertinent to you. Dolphins also catch it real bad from Japan for example.
3:28 Woody, have you ever heard the shark statistics? Sharks kill: An average of 10 people worldwide every year. Humans kill: Over 10k sharks every hour, far faster than their populations are able to recover from.

Thank you for explaining how important and wonderful sharks are and how truly devastating this is, not only to the sharks who have to suffer in such a horrific way, but also for humanity itself. We’ve brutally we’ve destroyed so many things. It’s heartbreaking
So hard to watch but such an important message to spread. Thanks for supporting.
I love the ocean more than anything I actually wanted to be a marine biologist so this breaks my heart, It makes me want to cry😔
I need to know....if you could go back in time and unse this video, would you? I rather see a human suffer than an animal btw (Because I know the human at least understands).
Oh my hell! This literally makes me cry. How savage and disgusting.
I’m an ex crew member from the Bob Barker Sea Shepherd Ship… & I wish to thank Woody for the production of this film… THANK YOU 🙏🏻.
it is a long time since I’ve seen passion like this.. God Bless..
Wow, I've just commented that I've been an SS supporter almost since its inception. Raising awareness on this subject is key....
I had only heard about it and never actually seen the footage. This is truly disgusting.
I know. It’s so damn upsetting.
I need to know....if you could go back in time and unse this video, would you? I rather see a human suffer than an animal btw (Because I know the human at least understands).
@@LittleMacscorner definitely not. This is how awareness spreads and this is the only way people will change their ways or take action. You need to see the true horror of it.
@@Beelzebubby91 Fair enough......I would never need to see this to be against it though. But I do get and agree with your point.
@@LittleMacscorner I knew about this but seeing it for some reason just gets it across differently. That was terrible.
@8:42 Tapping out after maybe 10 seconds. I just CAN'T 💔 But, I do believe in karma and these fishermen's souls are blighted beyond measure. 100,000,000 a year??? Jesus wept
I know. Super hard to watch and very sad.
Omg, I never thought I would be saying.... poor shark. We are monsters as a species. Thank you for informing us. Poor shark.
It’s just so awful. It’s gotta to stop.
I’m in grad school at UofSC’s school of public health doing research in Oceans and Human Health. The short answer is, our oceans are our life support, and to destroy them will wipe us out. I am a supporter of sustainable fishing and consumption of seafood but, like the video said, this is cruel and wasteful. It is doubly sad is that some of the people who participate in these cruel activities do so because it is one of the only ways they can make a good living. We have to tackle many issues to save our oceans but I have hope that each individual person choosing to doing all they can will have a huge impact.
Thank you so much for sharing this Woody, growing up I’ve always loved sharks they are one of my favourite animals and the act of shark finning is appalling in so many ways.
You are very welcome
Thank you so, so much for posting this. Sharks are amazing, intelligent, beautiful animals that absolutely do no deserve the culling of their species or the bad rep they get. I had the privilege to freedive with Great Hammerheads and fear was the last thing I felt. Caution, common sense, and awareness of one's surroundings is all that it takes to understand that sharks are out to get you and that they're not mindless killing machines. They're an apex predator in the ocean and that is their home and should be treated as such. So devastating what's happening to them.
Thanks for the comment and the support.
This is the equivalent of cutting off a person's limbs & then throwing them out onto the street to fend for themselves.
Powerful, man. Really appreciate the example you and Gus set in the community.
Thanks for the comment and the encouragement.
I don't like how sad that made me feel. I'm not mad. It is just painful
Watch Saving Jaws and Playing with Sharks. Very, very, very powerful movies on the subject of this cruel, brutal, and barbaric practice. React to these movies!
I scrolled down through the really bad part of the video because I've seen similar videos in the past. I am glad you are showing people the truth about this topic.
I could only take about 15 seconds of this video. It's horrible. Humanity is scary and sad.
My favorite aspect of this channel is how genuine you guys are and I think this video shows exactly that once again
I am speechless, when you said its brutal you were bang on,thats brutally & torture..i dont understand why we are not educated about the cruelty that goes on..
This is why i am glad we have this platform & people like you can open the doors to subjects like this..
Thankyou for opening our eyes,although its heart breaking..
Yeah we need to shut that shit down ASAP. Thanks for sharing this.
Hey Woody! I love your content and an a new watcher who's binged all of your videos so much respect! I was wondering if you could react to seaspiracy? They cover a lot on shark fin soup but also beyond because, in truth, the industrial fishing industry is doing far more damage to sharks than shark fin soup is and if more people realised, that by stopping eating fish, they themselves could save sharks that would he amazing!
This… was extremely hard to see
I’m so use to people exaggerating when they say something is going to be hard to watch that I watched this video when I probably should not have
I’ve been making a Shark coloring book for my little sister because she loves sharks and this just made me start crying thinking of my little sister who loves sharks and wants to study them but may never get the chance because of cruel human beings like the ones within this video 😭
I simply can't watch animal abuse, it breaks my heart. I donate to shelters and have adopted many animals over the years, mostly horses, sheep, and cattle. Thanks, Woody for being so compassionate.
It's so sad that garbage reached the deepest depths before we did
Thank you Woody.
You warn us very well. I thought I would be strong enough to watch the worst of the humanity. Turned out I wasn’t…
I’ll spread the word..
I thought the shark love was just a funny shtick by Woody but this made me realise that this is far more of a dyer situation!
I've been following the decline of reefs around the world and under water life but this is gut wrenching...
This brought me to tears!! I was unaware that shark killings were happening on such a huge scale. I'm truly disgusted. I agree that without the shark, the ever so delicate ecosystem would fail. Geez.. 😣thrown back helpless, in shock, and paralyzed until they die. This made me sick, but I applaud you Woody for calling attention to this atrocity. I feel like I stay pretty abreast of what's going on in the world, esp where animals are concerned, but I had ZERO idea the scale on which these amazing creatures are being slaughtered. They're horendously tortured first too. Woody, you're so right. This is murder!!
Gone on a bit of a binge today and i’ve reached this video. Wow. The man describing how the fins are removed. ‘The shark is disabled so it can’t do anything’ Is it not already helpless being turfed out of its habitat in the first place? Shocking, but very informative video.
Recently watched a brilliant documentary on this topic, called Seaspiracy. It made me completely give up seafood. I know it doesn't solve the problem, but after learning about it, I just couldn't do it on an emotional level.
That’s a great documentary. Watched it recently also.
Yeah that’s a good one. Honestly, it’s shocking to me how many of these commenters still eat seafood, yet are outraged by this. Hypocrisy at its finest. If you thought that doc was bad, try watching Dominion. I’d challenge anyone to get through that with dry eyes. I haven’t eaten any meat in 5 years.
Thank you woody for covering that subject... that is HORRIBLE abuse...
Woody would you ever want to dive with Orcas? They tend to be found in colder waters I've heard, and they are basically permanent scuba divers given how intelligent they are.
Unfortunately they are hunted ruthlessly by some fishermen as well. Such a shame.
Yes I would love to dive with them. So sad they are hunted.
I'm sorry as soon as they said finding sharks. I have to stop watching. This is the only video of yours that I haven't completed/ watched multiple times. So since you can't get my view count I'm leaving a comment. Thanks for all the amazing videos. I hope to one day learn to scuba dive to experience all the amazing life our earth has, but until then I will live vicariously through you two amazing guys!
P.S. I personally would love more Ed videos! His stories are better than the movies especially with you guys breaking it down for us non/hopeful future divers!
This is soul crushing. Does anyone know how to help? Where to donate? Thank you Woody for sharing, even if it’s heart breaking to watch. What a waste…
I'm afraid of sharks, but I can't stand to watch people killing them. It's so upsetting. I live in charleston west virginia, very much land locked. Ok, I tried to watch it, Woody, I just couldn't, I have a soft heart for animals.. I tried.
100 000 000!! That’s almost an incomprehensible number it’s just savagery and so wrong and a large amount of these end up in a soup bowl.
I’m a carnivore (and a chef) however that isn’t the argument here, what I’m saying is that regardless of your views on the eating of meat this is despicable the vast numbers and the method of torturing the animals is wrong and in my opinion totally unjustifiable 😢
Cows, chickens and pigs don't suffer any less than that shark. Not saying conventional slaughter is as cruel to the ecosystem, but it is 100% equally cruel to the victim.
I have to disagree with that comment all the animals you listed are killed as quickly (normally) as possible not butchered like the shark and then thrown back to die a slow and presumably agonising death. If your produce is coming from somewhere like that I’d seriously think about looking into find a different supplier!
@@IrishDougal Normally, cows, chickens and pigs do actually suffer non-instant deaths. I know this is the case in the US, UK and Australia, but I'm sure other countries do things better.
However, what I meant with my comment was that a cow has the same capacity to suffer as a shark.
Videos of cows being stabbed to death: "Hey that's food."
Videos of sharks being stabbed to death:
"Such savagery!"
I am pointing out the speciesism. How animals are killed is very varied, but plenty of footage from so called "free range" and "grass fed" farms reveal they have it no better than the shark. But frankly, whether the shark above was euthanised humanely or stabbed would not have made a difference. People empathise with sharks, but not with cows.
I sympathise with all animals my point was the way in which the animal is killed and I also never mentioned instant I also know given the choice I’d take a bolt to the head rather than having my leg chopped off and left to bleed to death.
I’ve worked across Europe and know how all the meat that I use is raised and butchered I understand that’s not viable for everyone. Regardless my original point was about the sharks in the video who I have the same respect for as any living creature and that I find the brutality abhorrent as I would I’d if the video was about conventionally farmer animals if they were being treated with the same level of disregard.
I understand your point about speciesism however it’s not applicable to the point I was trying to make.
@@IrishDougal Sure, fair enough.
I would also prefer a boltgun rather than bleed to death, as would the shark and any sentient animal for that matter.
Most people (not you) would never eat shark meat regardless of how it was sourced, but would eat beef selectively. That's kind of what my point was.
Thank you for raising awareness! I think that you described the consequences occuring due to shark decline well. Overall, it is a bit more complicated than the main points you mentioned, because they do more than food web control (e.g. sharks are important for nutrient cycling, control of diseases, regulation of invasive species populations) but, the important message you brought across remains the same: we need to do something! And soon! Most of the shark species are at least threatened with extinction, mainly because of fishing pressure but also because of habitat loss and other climate change related problems. We cannot ignore that countless sharks are slaughtered every day. For me they are special, majestjc and beautiful animals (my favourite- hope to see them soon for the first time in real life while diving). Sadly, for the average person they are not as important. Maybe because they don't seem as cuddly and friendly as your 'neighborhood' dolphin... Bad news for the ignorant people, dolphins will also have to pay the price for the actions of humankind, as countless other species will have to. Once they are extinct, there will be multiple things affecting all different kinds of marine ecosystems and it is not going to be pretty...
thank you Woody, this is a topic that is very near and dear to me. I still remember my parents being excited to try shark fin soup at a Chinese restaurant 10 years ago. there needs to be more awareness for these types of things as sharks are very important to the aquatic ecosystem.
I love you Woody, I love Dive Talk but I can’t watch this. The first 30 seconds had me crying and literally sick to my stomach. I’ll never understand how people can be so cruel. 😩
It’s disgusting that so many sharks are murdered every year. It’s not sustainable and you’re correct, we’re seeing the negative effects of it in our waters. Very sad. I wish I could go do the same to those people that are killing the sharks.
I need to know....if you could go back in time and unse this video, would you? I rather see a human suffer than an animal btw (Because I know the human at least understands).
@@LittleMacscorner no, I think it’s good for people to see things like this. Just talking about it doesn’t get the point across.
@@Robert_H_Diver Ok, thanks for the feedback. I have not watched it yet.....still debating but you make a good point and probably will
I'm sorry. I couldn't watch. Not oblivious to the fact it's going on. And do whatever i can to support those fighting these evil people. But, i just can't watch stuff like this.... The Cove, Blackfish, that Don't Mess With Cats one, i just can't. It would hurt my soul deep enough that i wouldn't want to live with the images in my head.
Thank you for your thoughts, Woody. I am very curious about your opinions on the sharks in the Palm Beach County area. Myself as a fisherman have noticed that the shark population seems to be increasing and their predation has increased in these areas (I seem to notice that they are more aggressive about taking fish off of our lines). I fish in Stuart and Jupiter. There seems to be a sentiment among recreational fishermen that there are too many sharks around and they are actually causing the opposite effect in especially the Jupiter area. I know and understand the issues in Asia and am 100% on board with you there, but I think it is dangerous to compare what is going on there to what is going on here (loss of ocean biomass and seemingly increase in shark activity in the PBCounty area). Would be interested to hear more of your wisdom about this
This is beyond stupidity in my opinion, we are killing ourselves, through killing our Oceans. I do not blame the fisherman, sorry to say. If it were not for the people that purchase Shark Fin products, these fisherman would not be killing sharks. My heart breaks for these and many other animals we have wiped off the face of this planet.
This is so sad. I don’t understand how people can do this. Thank you for sharing this and spreading awareness.
Hunters barely kill 6 million deer year, people go nuts about Bambi and the forests. (I'm a canadian so forest advocate, but hunting helps that), 100 million shark is absolutely insane, and the worst part is they probably waste a majority of the meat too
Thank you for sharing this Woody, it's so evil and barbaric. Reduces me to tears. Humans are so cruel and so stupid.
Thanks for watching. I know it was hard to watch. Yes we can be barbarians even in today’s modern times.
Ive never heard of this. Can somebody please explain the purpose of this? What exactly is the objective? How does this make money for these peasants? I assumed shark hunters would use the whole body to sell as food. Not just cut its body parts off and throw it back in alive and suffering. Wtf?!
It is sad what really goes on in our Oceans....
This video, to whaling, to SeaWorld.. To poaching, Zoos, the exotic animal trade.. The pets that fall through the cracks. The treatment of our food. If you truly care about animals, the weight of the pain you gotta carry on your shoulders.. It's a lot. We're shit to each other for all the wrong reasons. But the things we do animals on a daily basis and the reasons we do them, its soul crushing. What hurts more is how fucking far we are away from doing anything about these problems🙏
People can be savages.. thanks for the video, always looking forward to your videos... btw Florida represent!
Hard to watch... man greed is a messed up thing.. to be a savage and kill animals like this.. thats how i look at it, its not their culture ... its that they are savages.. with no empathy or morals
Just why tho? Like why tf cut their fins and tail off just to dump them back in the water like that?
Just brutal and messed up.
Also the death count list at the end was truly mind blowing.
Thanks woody and thanks dive talk for another great video💎
I completely agree with you, I firmly believe if our oceans die so do we.
I screamed out so many negative emotions when i saw.
These people are from greedy selfish backgrounds.
I wonder what international lawers are doing about it
Despicable behaviour
I'm 25, I firmly believe I'll witness the end of mankind in my lifetime. Without a doubt.
It’s so frustrating. This is so wrong and unfair to your generation. Sorry this is happening!
That guy sitting there talking is South African. What a shame. But he likely doesn't know any better.
These videos are always so hard to watch and yet so important. Thank you for bringing this to the world's attention Woody. I wish people understood that all the animals, insects, so are worth our respect and protection. Sad to say, much of humanity is not by choice.
Thanks for the comment and the encouragement.
For the beginning of the video 2 things I love you said. 1 sharks. Sharks are the wolfs of the seas. You can see where they (wolfs) have changes the eco system in Yellowstone. You can see where sharks have changed the banks. So loss of one thing can cause a downfall big or small. Also you said the natural life of climate. And not to get big into it but I think life moves on climate will change as we have seen in multiple ice ages we had. Then also yea we have caused some increase but it’s how we live. And life is life. Woody the hippy of the sea. What make it so so so horrible is the sharks are still alive then left to drowned. So sad for anything. So so sad.
Tough topic but needs to be discussed. Thanks for hosting in that PRIDE bright shirt tho :)
The more awareness the better.
After the neck is cut do they even feel anything else?
Still obviously a monstrous act and the pain and suffering of that alone is likely immense.
But I think it's important to be accurate about what is happening.
Thank you so much Woody! Without people like you making videos like this, we would all stay ignorant.
Thanks so much for saying this and watching it. It’s hard to watch but this level of murder is happening and could damage the entire planet. It’s wrong on every account.
Entirely disgusting period, and it's not even being utilized for nourishment, tools just maimed and dropped back in, this is horrible.
Thumbed up but I just can't watch anything related to animal cruelty. Thanks for the warning Woody
Unbelievable cruelty! Not even killing it first! Or using the meat! Every time I see Japanese fishers, I hate them more!
I had no idea this would make me cry... But here we are.
This is horrifying.
Lord help us 🙏❤️🙏
5:42 I do not believe that we will survive if we continue to ruin the oceans.
I *_highly_* recommend everyone watch the Seaspiracy documentary on Netflix to learn more about how we are decimating our oceans and more such as human trafficking issues at sea!
As someone who hunts and fishes for food.. this video is completely disgusting, that level of disrespect for living animals is just unhuman. That's literally the same as taking a human cutting his arms and legs off and throwing him in the dirt. These people deserve the worst in my mind.
Bless your heart, Woody! I went vegan years ago after seeing animal cruelty and brutality, and this really struck a chord with me.
I'm not even going to watch this. I'm not a bleeding heart liberal. I know what the subject matter often this video is and am familiar with the subject. I just can't and wont watch. thank you for bringing this into the light and enlightening others. God bless the beasts and the children. they have no choice. they have no voice.
Humanity disgusts me when it can do stuff like this. How is this legal? Let them have their necks and backs slit, their limbs cut off and then just tossed uncaringly aside but that is frowned upon isn’t it. I hate videos like this but I feel it’s important to see them to fully understand the situation at hand. I don’t understand how anyone can justify this
This made me sick. I don't even want to say what this makes me want to do. Animal videos like this touch a nerve in me that make me not feel and think like myself. It's just a good thing I don't act on it............Not yet, anyways.
Damn that’s fucked up man. I had no idea.
I kept putting off watching this one because it makes me so angry and sad. Anyone who does this to sharks or who eats shark fin soup or other shark products should be put in the soup pot themselves.
I don't consider myself a hugely smart person, but I can say for a fact that God doesn't like it when you brutalize his creatures, they will have to answer for these actions at their death or at some point ☝️
This is an evil practice - 100 million!! I adore sharks, they fascinate me…we need to stop this. Xx
So disgusting and hard to watch , I know they are trying to make it illegal . But I genuinely believe we need sharks , I mean they were around before us and they are the ones who clean up our ocean , like with the whale carcasses. Idk either way , this is the most disgusting and heart wrenching video ever , to just cut them and throw them overboard is so sick .
Ok I’m not going to watch this. Thought it was a shark incident with a diver (hoping the diver was ok of course!!).
greed!!!! 🤬I'm not a bible thumper or anything but I believe god will have his vengeance
I think there's an unfortunate dark side to humanity that can easily encroach any person who lacks empathy and understanding.
I apologize because this post is going to be longer than what I would normally post, but I think it's a very important observation that ties in with this video.
From what I know about animals, a lot of their behavior is done entirely based on instinct. If we could speak to a cat and ask them why they rub their faces on things, would they even know? It's just instinct. Maybe it feels good, maybe it makes them feel safer, but it's just instinctual feelings.
Humans have instincts as well of course. A lot of phobias are some instinctual. I have a fear of the open ocean; a fear of the unknown predators lurking in the distance unseen, but I've never been TAUGHT this. I've never been attacked by anything in the ocean. I was scared of the dark as a child as well, and I had never encountered a predator of any kind. It's an irrational and instinctual fear that I have. Humans have the luxury of higher thinking. We're so far removed from the constant need to focus on survival at all costs that we don't have to run on instinct. Sometimes we even do things directly in spite of those instincts because we're able to use logic and reasoning. Unfortunately some people take what I can only assume to be related to the feelings of survival and bring it to a dark place.
The basic goal of any living thing on Earth is survival. Imagine a prehistoric human fighting off an aggressive bear in order to defend his family, and how good he would feel after defeating this predator who was directly posing a threat to himself and those he cared about. The point here is that it's not the act of killing that makes you feel good, it's the fact that you were afraid of a threat which is now gone and you no longer feel afraid. You're not getting a high off of the kill, you're simply returning from a state of negative emotion to a state of neutral emotion. What if that same human is actively seeking out bears in THEIR homes to slaughter because it makes them feel good? That's just a murderer. You feel powerful because you're eliminating a supposed threat, but premeditated murder isn't a survival instinct. You are not responding to fear and defending yourself, you're using your intelligence to hunt down animals who are just existing in their own sphere of nature. Hunting for food is one thing, but hunting for fun is another.
Animals don't typically kill for fun, they kill for basic needs or in response to a direct encounter with a possible threat. If I could talk to that same cat from my earlier example and tell them "hey, there's a big bear in that cave" their instinct is going to be to stay the hell away from that cave at all costs. Humans have started killing for power and greed. Some people do it for sport because they want to feel powerful, and others do it to make money. The problems occur when you remove yourself from nature to the extent that we have while failing to consider or care what you're actually DOING to the world around you. We have the intelligence to be able to defy nature in some absolutely crazy ways, BUT the same intelligence we use to defy nature also allows us to understand nature to a higher degree than other animals. A cat doesn't need to think about the implications of their hunt because they're only obeying their natural instincts. They get food when they're hungry. Humans are smart enough to know that hunting more fish today means you don't have to hunt tomorrow. We're also smart enough to define murder and know that it is wrong, but we don't always care that it is wrong.
I can only hope that, one day, humans will evolve as a species such that those of us who don't care for nature will die out. Not talking murdering those who don't care for nature of course, but species evolve to better suit the world around them. If the world no longer has a place for humans who commit acts of murder against nature, then that trait will hopefully die out. Too many people are getting away with it right now. We have such immense power as a species and can do wonderful things for the world, but we can also harm it all the same.
I won’t lie I had to skip past the video so I appreciate you explaining what happened
So, I’m well over 18 and RUclips says I can’t watch this video? T F?
I am all for hunting and fishing. But this is just plain cruel and disturbing. I don't want to believe it's real.
Endtime Signs for Humanity - Worst of the Worst.
Sadly true
I don’t think it’s that they don’t understand they don’t give a shit. I think they understand 100 percent what they are doing.
Over money! Money !!
In all fairness ppl have done worse to there own why would this seem more barbaric
That was so horrible! I can't believe they did that, I am scared of sharks but omg this is just so sad 😢
It's not for survival it's easy money. They don't want to work hard they just want easy money.
Wolves and Yellowstone...those who know, know. This is so FUCKED
Hey Woody, you should check out the documentary called "Earthlings" for a more comprehensive look at the level of cruelty all animals receive and it’s called business as usual. I know this is a diving channel so there is actually section in documentary just about cruelty towards sea life that would be pertinent to you. Dolphins also catch it real bad from Japan for example.
I mean their is a good news in terms of shark populations a few years ago Great whites increased enough to no longer be considerd endangerd.
Imagine everyday thousands of bodies are on the ocean floor tail and finless. They drowned or bled out.
I get sad when my crankbait makes a bass’ mouth bleed. Then there’s these abominable people…
Those people that do that they should suffer the same . Man sucks 🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈rule
3:28 Woody, have you ever heard the shark statistics?
Sharks kill: An average of 10 people worldwide every year.
Humans kill: Over 10k sharks every hour, far faster than their populations are able to recover from.
6:13 ahh, yes you do it seems. I assume you also know how many humans are killed by sharks.
