Shark Deaths at the Long Beach Aquarium

My mom was telling me about something that happened at the Long Beach Aquarium a couple of days ago. It's really sad, I just can't understand it. We used to be members of the Aquarium so they sent us this letter. The people who broke into the Aquarium were 13 year old boys. The letter doesn't say everything, but supposedly the kids dragged the sharks around on the ground outside, torturing them.:

The Aquarium of the Pacific is saddened to report that sometime Sunday
night or Monday morning someone broke into the Aquarium's Shark Lagoon
exhibit and injured or killed several animals. We lost one of our nurse
sharks and one cownose ray, and a bamboo shark that was injured passed away
Monday night. Other animals were moved or injured but will survive.

Monday night at approximately 9:00 p.m. trespassers were found on the
Aquarium grounds. The Aquarium contacted the Long Beach Police department
which made four arrests.

The Aquarium is extremely saddened by this terrible act of animal cruelty.
These animals lived in our interactive touchpools and personally touched
the lives of millions of people who have visited the Aquarium. They were
gentle animals that served as ambassadors inspiring wonder and respect for
the ocean and its inhabitants. We are at a loss as to why anyone would
commit such a cruel act on these animals. We are very grateful to all our
members who support the Aquarium and care so deeply for our animals.
