A swimming professor who killed a huge triggerfish and claimed it deserved to die after biting him was criticized by the minister of natural resources and the atmosphere.
The dive instructor should be aware that he should set a good example for his scholars and that swimmers are entering animal environments, so they should respect the guests, according to Minister Warawut Silpa-archa on Sunday.
” This situation has me very unhappy. He was fortunate to be outside of a national park. If not, I would get the harshest punishment possible, which would be prison, the minister said.
Titan triggerfish, according to Mr. Warawut, helped secure coral despite not being a species that was protected because they consumed coral-eating creatures.
It is your responsibility to conserve. What did divers look at if there are no river fish? It doesn’t make sense to shoot something after it hurts you as a diving instructor. Is it too simple to apologize in this situation? It will be good if folks adopts your mindset, he warned.
In response to a swimming instructor’s Facebook post, Mr. Warawut claimed to have killed the leviathan triggerfish while diving to coral off the Pathiu district of Chumphon after it bit his leg.
The article was heartfelt and stated that the fish should have died because it bit him and many other leaping clients.
After receiving harsh criticism, the dive instructor wrote a letter of apology.
Water birds were naturally protective of their environments and homes, according to assistance Prof. Thon Thamrongnawasawat of the marine biology division at Kasetsart University, and maritime travellers were guests to the animals’ homes and should abide by the hosts’ rules.
