This Manta Ray swam into a fishing boat's net, they were not looking to capture it. They did try to bring it on their boat, that's when it got so tangled in the net that it could not be freed and died. At which point they decided to bring it back to shore. They certainly were not proud of catching it or bragging about it. However they could have been using smaller nets to keep this from happening. In that area Manta Rays are worth more alive then dead because of tourism to see the creatures. So while this is sad, it's not cause to hate against humanity.
