And manage to kill a giant squid in the process. Sure, we could look at it as neither party intentionally planned for the animal's demise, but the jellyfish-pokers on board should've been somewhat aware that trawling is harmful.
In a recent article about the squid's untimely death it was revealed that the expedition was being conducted for a purpose that seems relatively ironic: studying the available supply of food for whales by trawling. That's a bit heavy-handed don't you think? That's like using a blowtorch to light some birthday candles.
No one in the academic or animal preserve community would sponsor such a hazardous-posing study, that's just crazy talk! What's that? Oh, the fine folks at NOAA footed the bill. Hm. Awkward.
