Von Miller Under Investigation for Hammerhead Shark Catch After PETA Claims Catch Was Illegal

Late last week, Denver Broncos’ Von Miller spent a day on the waters in Miami for a fishing trip, where he and his group captured a gigantic 9.5-foot hammerhead shark.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Although the baller reportedly released the fish after a photo op, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission revealed the group was under investigation for the catch after People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) claimed it to be illegal.

“FWC has received the images and video and is looking into whether or not a violation occurred in this incident,” FWC public information coordinator Rob Klepper said of the incident.

However, if there was, in fact, an illegal catch, the consequences, if any, remain unclear.
