A video on social media shows a man riding a shark on a beach in Panama City, Florida. Initially, viewers criticized the man for what they perceived as an act of cruelty and fun. However, it was later revealed that the man and his companions were actually trying to save the shark. The video, posted by Tammy Scott, captured the moment when five men dragged the shark out of the water. One man pulled fishing line to keep the shark from returning to the water, while another jumped on its back to remove a fishing hook. After successfully removing the hook, the shark was released back into the water unharmed. Tammy later clarified that the men were attempting to keep the shark still to safely remove the hook.
