FOND FISHER Conor McGregor spotted a SHARK close to his Miami home and took a photo. He then tossed it back into the ocean and asked his fans to help 'protect the ocean.'
Two photos were posted by the Irishman on Twitter, showing him with a shark. The caption was: "Caught shark in my backyard today in Miami."
McGregor held the shark's tail and took a photo with it
McGregor dragging a shark out from the ocean was not well received by some, who urged McGregor to 'put the thing back'.
McGregor shared then a video in which he threw the shark into the ocean to calm his fans fears.
He said, "Back in you go, my little ocean critter. Protect the ocean. Be responsible for your ocean.
McGregor's decision to throw the shark into the ocean was criticized by some, despite calling for everyone to take 'fish responsibility'.
One Twitter user replied: "You could av just throw it back rather than throwing it."
One replied to a complaint by saying "How EXACTLY do you want him to throw that shark back in the water ...?"?"
