The scumbags at @WaikikiAquarium led by Andrew Rossiter lost her and now say she has died. I weote Rossiter Oct. 11 begging him to keep an eye on her during this bogus botched medical procedure on her tank, when she looked viable, and instead these idiots lost her! Total scum.

This is what @WaikikiAquarium did to Jaws the red-tailed black shark's tank & now she's missing! After botching "medicating" it over a bacterial infection I alerted them to, all the plants wiped out, all cory cats dead, my baby Jaws missing, & they've left me in limbo! Bad place!

@rickygervais and on my YouTube page you can see hours of video, but here's a standout one from soon after they reopened following ten months closed during the pandemic, and loss of several key staff members youtu.be/T8kdeNOcEWM Mahalo, Ricky. I hope I hear from you. Aloha.

@rickygervais yesterday... unreal. And I'm the guy who told them there was even a problem in there, watched them labor to net the incapacitated fish, Jaws looked fine all the while. Now, the same people who once were so nice, 'oh it's ok she's hiding' are ice. I can't believe it.

@rickygervais I just wanted you to know how traumatic it is, this graceful, majestic creature, like my daughter, my last image of her cowering under a log in there, haunts me. Gone without a trace, her once lush exhibit an unsightly barren landscape. A month ago... mid September.

@rickygervais I love her dearly and can't really grieve, in limbo. If little cory catfish were recovered, I cannot imagine her large self was devoured by her tank mates. I can't grieve because I want to have hope. But the state of that tank, like a bomb went off. It is shocking.

@rickygervais it has now been two weeks. The love of my lofe, I raised from a six month old baby girl, who was there four years, got them radio exposure and was the star of that exhibit, gone. I am left awaiting final word of her fate. I gave over 1k thru the years.

@rickygervais They added medication and the next week, it had gutted the few plants in the tank. Jaws was nowhere to be seen, and staff- who knew me and were kind for years- said everything was alright, Jaws was just hiding. They also said the cory catfish died & were recovered.

@rickygervais and knowing your love for animals had to share. I'd visit twice weekly and alerted them when I saw a cory catfish on his side. Then I wrote the director Andrew Rossiter, telling him she looked like the medication they added was affecting her, hoping he'd help.

@rickygervais Aloha Ricky. I donated a red-tailed black shark to @WaikikiAquarium. She had a great life until they treated an infection in her exhibit, which I alerted them to, now Jaws is missing unlike many catfish who died & were recovered. I'm in limbo youtu.be/Jps3QoiuYYo

This is Jaws the red-tailed black shark's exhibit at @WaikikiAquarium after their treatment of a suspected bacterial infection, which I first alerted them to! Their medication gutted the plants & now Jaws is missing - for weeks - leaving me in limbo! youtu.be/Jps3QoiuYYo

The @WaikikiAquarium is going to reopen soon, Andrew their director said today on my show!!! That means... reunion time with my precious bambina e quasi solo famiglia, Jaws the red-tailed black shark!!! Can't wait to see you, Jaws. Daddy loves you so much.

Once shoppers realized @vitalfarms’ uses gimmicks & deceptive images to mislead them about the way it really treats chickens, they knew they needed to take action—& PETA lawyers were happy to help bring the humane-washing company to court. #NationalEggDay peta.vg/352x

@peterframpton Great reconnecting this week. Stay safe, my brother. I'll drop you a line when it airs soon. Much aloha!

@TheWho Aloha! We'd love to get Roger on our Off the Road series to talk about his west coast dates; can you connect me with whomever handles his PR? Mahalo!

You're very welcome. Thanks for all you do. Give my love to the rhinos. Stay safe.

Yet that one country, China, is driving the extinction crises of rhinos, pangolins, lions, tigers, totoaba, vaquita, donkeys... and despite the statistics on the ivory, likely still the top force driving elephant poaching. Ask a pangolin or rhino how they feel about China.

Zongoloni’s fate was sealed by poachers who fatally wounded her mother. But there was hope. She is one of 75 orphans of the ivory trade that we’ve successfully rescued. Donate to help #SaveEndangeredElephants: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/donate
