Mikochi Posted January 9 Author Posted January 9 The Lotus Shimbun | Mikochi & Lotus Watch Home | Mikochi | Lotus & Wurld | Politics | Business | Sci & Tech | Culture | Health | Sports | Opinion Friday January 10, 2025 | 🌤️ Umikyo POP : 5% | ADS/MKY 1,459.48 Shark returned to aquarium after high-speed chase Early this morning, an animal rights activist broke in and entered Kinko Aquarium and abducted a juvenile same-shark from its enclosure. The sharknapper, who remains unnamed, was able to evade security and left the aquarium in a stolen pickup truck, with the shark in a significantly sized fishtank in the truckbed. Police were arriving on scene when the pickup pirate was making his escape and entered pursuit straight away. The aquatic criminal at times reached speeds of up to 70 miles per hour, and drove extremely dangerously, endangering the life of both the shark and local bystanders. The pursuit ended when the fishy felon ploughed through a barrier and straight into Kinko Bay. The Mikochinese Coast Guard, who were nearby, were able to rescue the shark snatcher from the sinking wreckage, and brought the shark and it’s tank back ashore, where it was recovered by aquarium staff. The misguided marine thief was identified as a member of a glubal animal rights movement. Whilst the group started by speaking up against factory farms and animals in captivity, the group has recently turned to spreading misinformation around zoos, aquariums and animal conservation projects. Whilst the group has made several attempts to release animals across the glube, today’s events mark the furthest the group has been able to come to ‘liberating’ an animal. The shark, named Kurage-chan, was unavailable for comment, however Mikako Mizuno, a senior researcher at the Kinko Aquarium, was able to speak on the shark’s behalf. Quote “Taking Kurage-chan from her habitat and attempting to release her into the wild was a really reckless thing to do. Sharks that weren’t born in the wild really aren’t suited for release, and she would have likely died within a few weeks from starvation. Luckily, Kurage-chan seems unbothered by her recent escape, and is settled back in well within her enclosure back at the aquarium.” Kurage-chan in the Shark Tank Kurage-chan was rescued last summer by Kinko Aquarium after she was reported living in a swimming pool kept as someone’s pet. Due to the nature of her upbringing, researchers at the aquarium concluded that Kurage-chan was not suited to being released into the wild, and thus found her way into the aquarium’s shark tank, one of the largest of any aquarium in the wurld. In the aquarium’s care, Kurage-chan can live her best life, and enjoys interacting with the other sea life in her environment. Owning sharks in Mikochi is illegal under the 2003 End to Captivity Bill. 4
