So I've been on the hunt for some interesting Ceph encounters on youtube and alike and I am always shocked at the sheer mass of videos where one or more divers abuse the (mostly) defenseless creatures to no end.
It's really saddening that there are so many people out there who cared to learn how to dive but apparently have no respect at all of the creatures they encounter as long as they know that they aren't going to be bitten
Well, I'd like to see one of them pester a moray or a shark for a change instead of a soft bodied animal that has no way of defending themselves against a diver except of inking and trying to swim away.... which doesn't really work well given the fact that most of them are just roughly grabbed and yanked around....
I know this probably doesn't belong here, but after having seen more than a few dozen of these videos I needed to blow off some steam
Been starting to flag these as "animal abuse".. even if it probably doesn't help....
On a side note, I've found this really awesome video:
