Sea turtkes after florida shoots down another ‘drug cartel boat’*

@GerOttman i’ve looked it up before out of curiosity and it actually is very harmful for the ecosystem.

And I’ve always wondered why nobody takes this into consideration when they’re shooting down these boats

I even thought about the gunpowder

It can’t be good

@DeluxedEditionYou are right: it is not good.

I suppose if they think about it at all, the authorities would consider the potential harm to wildlife from sunken drugs far less serious than the drug-gangs' intended real harm to people and society.

I would understand that, but still believe the smugglers should be arrested alive, and the drugs and boats destroyed in safe ways.

@GerOttman Thankyou. Unfortunately The Guardian actively prevents you reading it without either accepting all its "cookies" or subscribing.

I do know though, from other reports, that quantities of illegal drugs have been found off parts of the Englsih coast. The suppliers dump the consignments in the sea for others in their chain to collect, making it far harder for the Police and Coastguard to intercept. I think they have also tried air-drops from private aircraft but that method is much harder to conceal.

I imagine there are also some drugs reaching the sea via the sewer, but I don't know how large that problem might be.

Really, the ultimate solution is for enough people to realise just how foolish, dangerous and cowardly it is to try taking these toxins, that the trade ceases to be lucrative.

@PatKirby lmao you always have the best video replies 🤣 I don’t know where the heck you find these

What’s your YouTube name? If you have one I want to follow your channel

@DeluxedEdition

@Adrift it is very bad for the environment. I’ve looked it up before out of curiosity

😞

@DeluxedEdition Its got to affect the marine life.

@Adrift it absolutely does

It genuinely irritates me how the activists want to go after the straws when there’s obviously bigger issues

@DeluxedEdition so ecocide is a joy for you. Not like we didn't know!

@Roundandroundwego don’t be such a stick in the mud we’re just trying to have as much fun as the turtles 🤭

@DeluxedEdition lmao I knew you would like that joke @Roundandroundwego
