(PHOTO) A well-known retail chain sells a highly protected shark

On August 4, 2026, the Slovenian retail chain Eurospin advertised discounted fillets of bluefin tuna in its catalog, which is classified as strictly protected wildlife under Croatian law. The article notes that Croatia’s Nature Conservation Act prohibits the intentional hunting, killing, disturbing, keeping, transporting, or selling of strictly protected species. The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries clarifies these rules, stating that fishermen must release any protected species caught accidentally back into the sea unharmed. Eurospin has been formally questioned by the Croatian portal about this alleged violation, but they have yet to respond.

Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the issue as a legal violation by a private enterprise, emphasizing the state's authority over protected species. It highlights the strict regulations and the potential consequences for Eurospin, suggesting a left-leaning perspective that prioritizes environmental protection and法治
