Environmentalists
are not happy with Rosie O’Donnell after a photo of Rosie standing
alongside the carcass of a hammerhead shark during a fishing trip with
Mark "The Shark" Quartiano in Miami was released. Quartiano, a
well-known fisherman in Florida, posted the photo on his website, which
started to gain criticism due to the fact that these sharks are an
endangered species and that the state banned the catch of three species
of hammerheads starting January 1st. The photos were from a family
fishing trip taken years ago. But O’Donnell still caught heat on Twitter
and she tried to clear up the situation. "i love the ocean – i am on it
daily in miami – chill people – really – my family fishes," she tweeted
yesterday. She added, "we were not going after any species in
particular … and it wasnt endangered til 11 days ago.”
