"Let's see how long it is before she's no longer with us because of pure stupidity."
Sometimes you can’t win for losing, as they say.
Ocean Research organisation Ocearch is in the biz of tagging Whites and sharing the data with whoever wants it in near real-time.
Important work. Environmental warriors at the front line.
Recently, they tagged a Great White in Nova Scotia, fifty years old they estimate, the footage including one researcher jumping into the drink, fully-clothed, to guide the seventeen-foot long, three-and-a-half-thousand pound Great White they called ‘Nukumi’ – a name given to her to honour a ‘legendary wise old grandmother figure of the Native American Mi’kmaq people’, into the pen where it got tagged.
Footage is pretty wild, see below, and everyone wins: research is collected, and Great White gets a little holiday above the water.
Twitter, which was founded in 2006 to push the then just awakening outrage culture, was pleasingly on point with its apoplexy.
Leave him alone! We have done enough damage to the ocean and it’s occupants!
You should have left her there in her natural habitat
I Would like to know what are they trying to do with her they need to let her go back to her home
It’s OK to admire a beautiful animals from a far. But why do we need to probe the ‘Queen of the Ocean’? #sad The worse momment her life was you spotting her.
I totally support your efforts, but this looks really aggressive to me. Y’all need to use a gentler touch. Design some more comfortable equipment to get her out of her habitat, even if it’s only for two minutes
Right- let’s see how long it is before she’s no longer with us because of pure stupidity.
Did you guys let her go?
Stressing out an “ancient mature female” seems like the right thing to do.
So bad, how horrible that you would do this. Now ” trophy hunting” has gone to the ocean, you bastards.
I think, tagging Whites is a very good idea and a little jabbing and jostling ain’t such a bad price to pay for science etc.

🤦♀️ these must be the most childish comments on earth. It’s called research and for the love of all when I go to the beach I HOPE they announce if this Big Bertha is even remotely close to Florida. You all are literally out of your minds if you think tagging to know a 2ton sharks’ location and habits are animal abuse. Absolutely woke nutjobs. Make your damn way to the beds your PARENTS gave you
A Nova Scotian Great White is a shark you can trust ay, ever ready with a beer and bong, a hearty smile, lobster roll and a donair to share with a weary traveller ay…
Twitter really is the cesspool of the internet. You’d think with all it’s dark devious shit that title would belong to a live organ market on the dark web or terrorist torture videos hosted on a site devoted to violence but alas Twitter wins out with it’s woke social justice warrior nonsense. Give me a good beheading any day over this dribble
OCEARCH is doing great work. The SM comments are born out of ignorance. OCEARCH actually delayed the ping info because boats were on standby to see these pings before going out with their clients to try and fish for the ‘trophy’ shark.
Obviously these Twitter dimwits haven’t watched Discovery Channels Shark Men. It is science. They are not killing the sharks. MORONS. As for the political comments . Trump is going to wipe the floor with old Dopey Creepy Senile Lefty Auto Cue Reading Dermocrap Biden & his race politics. America will collapse if these Dermocraps get in. But if they do, he could sabotage them like Do Nothing Ohbumma & that Crooked Scrag Hillary tried to do to Trump. And failed miserably.
Why would it collapse this time around?
Tabula Rasa Now …?
It’s to show that I’m not all about work and you are all entitled to a 5 minute break.
Smart Plan Wigg’s …. The Man should not fuck with ….. the SMOKO !
Just to remind the Bosses

You would love it up here. As long as you want to work on an organic non GMO apple orchard, live in a yurt and don’t mind eighteen foot sharks. Good IPA’s though.
Sounds good for a holiday
Yosemite, Monterey, Napa Wine country etc. Lost of driving. Nor Cal is big.
Hahahar – that or he’s a filthy, filthy troll.

You see if he did it naked they couldn’t show the footage.
It world probably get more views if it were on pornhub
Shark vaginas are realistic!
Hmmm it appears that the owners of these Twitter accounts have all fucked their brains by drinking soy milk and huffing acetone in nail salons. It’s time to put the woke to bed. Wiggs for Victorian State Premier. You all get a shovel and a lunchbox. Now get to work you pale cunts.
Couple of points in that lunchbox and I’m all yours
