Interested in killing 300 critically endangered Goliath Groupers in order to help protect them? That's what Florida's Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is purposing to do. The Goliaths are toxic containing 7 times the allowable mercury levels, so you shouldn't eat them and its against the law to sell them. You could sure get some nice dead animal trophy pictures though! Just like Cecil the Lion Killer! If this bothers you please help me get the word out, that this type of behavior will not be tolerated! The facts are all in the petition in my bio! Please sign and share! If possible attend the FWC meeting in Ft Lauderdale April 25th & 26th and voice your support to stop the FWC from selling 300 tickets so 300 people can each kill their own friendly Goliath Grouper! FWC says the money collected will go to help with the conservation efforts of this Critically Endangered Goliath Grouper! If this sounds really stupid to you, please speak up for these incredibly friendly creature that generates millions of dollars every year in Florida with ecotourism...people that just want to see them alive. Please Help Us Save the Goliath Grouper! @jim_abernethy #myfwc #savegoliaths #goliathgrouper #fwc #stoptheneedlesskillings (at MyFWC)
