The case stems from the video, obtained by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, that was released in April as part of a campaign to discourage people from eating stone crab claws. The video focuses mostly on the crew of the boat harvesting the claws, which PETA says is cruel toward the crustaceans, although commercial fishing advocates say the practice is sustainable because the crabs are not killed and their claws regenerate.

But the video also shows commercial anglers aboard the vessel Booga Man killing the octopus and beating a nurse shark against the gunwale of the boat. Both animals were caught as bycatch in a stone crab trap.

The woman told the crew she was interested in commercial fishing and wanted to learn more about the industry, Mattson said.

Once on board, she filmed a man who Mattson said is Mora reaching inside a stone crab trap to remove an octopus.

He grabbed the octopus while using “a violent ripping motion and removed the head and guts,” Mattson wrote in his report.

Mora then threw the octopus into a “dark colored bin,” according to the report. The octopus was still alive and moving in the bin “with its guts and head removed,” Mattson said. The octopus eventually died.

“Mr. Mora went about his way and continue to work. He does not pay any attention to the octopus squirming and struggling while suffering in the bin,” the report states.

“The crew welcomed the individual aboard, where she openly recorded workers mutilating crabs and octopuses and beating a shark against the side of the boat,” Colley said.
