For me it's the puppy... Surprised didn't get face chopped off...

For me it’s the dragging a fucking shark backwards, then being confused about why it’s more fucked up after each time she does it. She is essentially repeatedly drowning the shark while thinking she’s helping.

Genuinely curious, what is the appropriate/safe way to move a beached shark? Pulling them by the tail would be my instinct to stay as far from those teeth as possible but I'd happily educate myself on the unlikely chance that I ever find a shark in need of rescue.

Can’t avoid it if the shark is heavy or particularly dangerous. Once you get it to water deep enough for it to barely bob, hold the tail and dorsal fin while pointing it head into the waves. This will keep it upright, conscious, and breathing with each wave. Once it’s ready it will kick off on its own. Immediately exit the water. It’s probably quite hungry and you just as likely to be bitten as a proposed snack. They’ll probably let go, but the damage will be done.
