乐生活Ecological Tragedy Behind Cartoons
(I reproduced the painting, the original author is unknown)
The main idea of this cartoon is that a pregnant plow ray was frightened by another prank and aborted. The baby also carried yolk sacs.
The scientific basis behind the cartoon is that a variety of cartilage fishes, including endangered ploughshare rays, generally abort when frightened. Therefore, if pregnant endangered cartilage fishes are caught illegally, they often abort even if they are not killed, and the population is even more damaged.
