KMartinHandyman Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 In any other waters it would be poaching for fins. Here it’s obviously suicide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briansbiology Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 eating the fins serves no porpoise. if they couldnt see any damage on one side why didnt they flipper over? instead they just stand around blubbering... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
