One private company has accounted for most of the recent collection in Delaware Bay. Dynasty Marine, a Florida-based supplier of live marine animals to aquariums and research institutions worldwide that drew bipartisan outrage in Florida in 2025 after legally netting a manta ray for SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, began collecting sand tigers in Delaware in 2021.

What is happening to all of the sharks? Oh, I don't know anything about that, you will have to ask the people who work for me who I am pretending not to be in contact with or know what their jobs are... you know what though? Let me just waste this time to pontificate about how I have noticed that some radical leftwing groups have begun to target innocent zoo wildlife worldwide with acts of terrorist violent disinformation and I think we should devote more of the FBI's budget to that.

OK EVEN IF WE WERE SELLING THE SHARKS which WE ARE NOT to be clear as far as I PERSONALLY know as head of this shark export I mean shark research company, I promise you I will look into the problem and have it solved in two weeks maximum and if there does end up being a problem we can always just put the sharks we sold back into Delaware so stop trying to cancel me about it ok?

~pushes camera crew beginning to break down microphone out of the way~

AND ONE OTHER THING you remember the last time this happened? When the radical left started losing their minds about some crazy conspiracy that pharmeceutical companies were sucking the blood of all of our horshoe crabs dry to make a killing on medical products? Yeah we put ALL of those wackjob "scientists" in jail to teach them a lesson, these "shark extremists" better be careful what they wish for....
