I hate “people” as a group, but people as a person are usualy great. This is a great example of the latter and a reminder that despite all the news about “people”, there are still individual persons out there doing good things.
Found some of the footage from the rescue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIQz5RBKUsA
That’s one confused shark! “WTF is going on here?”
I think it’s admirable we find heart even for ‘predators of the deep’. Though, I feel like that was still super dangerous… like if it was hurt and accidentally hurt it trying to move it and it thrashes a tail or that massive head full of teeth… humans aren’t exactly agile in standing water like that.
Ofc, the desire to help internally is still there. I feel like I would have made a call to the coast guard to pull it out to sea more.
I don’t live there though, just working through the mental checklist of “what would I do”
Sounds like they used rakes to create a deeper channel for the shark to swim in. That should be possible to do while not getting too close to the shark in general.
That is clever human thinking. I like!
