FIU Students Spearhead Latest Petition Against Mark the Shark

In an Instagram video posted in July by Miami’s infamous deep-sea hunter Mark the Shark, a hammerhead shark is shown hanging by a rope, suspended above a trio of smiling tourists. One of the men slaps the animal as it sways from side to side. Another raises his Corona Light in the air. All three flash a thumbs-up to the camera.

Beneath the post — tagged in Miami Beach — reads the caption: “Keeping the beach safe! Tourists lives Matter!”

The clip is a somewhat tamer version of the usual content on Mark Quartiano’s Instagram page, which boasts 117,000 followers and often includes shots of bikini-clad women, videos of people puking off the side of his boat, and footage of dead or soon-to-be slaughtered sharks.
