Shark Killing TRUMP Supporters Bo Benac​,Spencer Heintz​, & Nicholas Burns Easterling​ Have Been Arrested For Dragging Shark Behind Speed Boat


The brutes who allegedly dragged a shark behind a speedboat apparently documented other vile stunts with ocean wildlife — including posing for a picture while pouring beer into the mouth of a grouper. “This is one of the evil POS that dragged the shark,” one post on Facebook read. “His name is Bo Benac. His mother is a Manatee County commissioner. Look what he and his friend are doing to this beautiful grouper who was probably 50 years old. #notfunny” The post identified the other men seen in the disturbing video as Nicholas Burns Easterling and Michael Wenzel, who was investigated in 2015 by state and federal officials after posting pictures of him gripping pelicans and a gull. It’s unclear if the other men were part of that investigation, which was closed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service last January, the Miami Herald reported. More than 5,300 people have signed an online petition demanding that the men be punished for the “sociopathic behavior” they willingly recorded and shared. “This sociopathic behavior demands attention and prevention,” the petition reads. “Many feel that this act of violence is in fact a criminal act … We also demand that everyone in this video has their fishing license revoked permanently.” NY POST>>>>>>







UPDATE 13 DECEMBER 

Investigation into viral shark-dragging video nets 3 arrests 

Three men have been arrested in connection with a shark-dragging video that went viral in July, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.  Officials announced Tuesday evening that a four-month investigation into the video led them to charge Michael Wenzel, 21, of Palmetto; Robert Lee Benac, 28, of Bradenton; and Spencer Heintz, 23, of Palmetto. All three men are facing two counts of aggravated animal cruelty, a third-degree felony. Wenzel and Benac each face an additional misdemeanor charge of illegally taking a shark.  The 10-second video, which outraged Floridians, local politicians and animal activists alike, showed a shark tethered behind a speeding watercraft, flailing in the boat's wake. Three young men were also seen in the video, pointing and laughing at the animal.  “I was outraged by the sickening video of a shark being horribly abused earlier this year. Florida has no tolerance for this mistreatment, and I am proud of the hard work of FWC law enforcement during this investigation to hold these individuals accountable for their horrific actions,” Gov. Rick Scott said.  Source
