Casanova Issues Apology Following Backlash For Tossing Plastic Cup In Ocean

“At the outset, please know my delayed response is the result of embarrassment, humiliation, and total regret,” he begins in a lengthy caption attached to the news piece on Instagram. “This past holiday weekend, during my stay in Miami, Florida, I took to the oceans’ of the Biscayne Bay to enjoy the day on a yacht, and partake in water motorsport activities. Throughout the day, I made social media recordings of my time at sea. One of the 15-second footages exhibited me taking the last of a drink, and tossing the plastic drinking cup into the ocean. Please accept my most sincere apology for the aforementioned.”

At the outset, please know my delayed response is the result of embarrassment, humiliation, and total regret. This past holiday weekend, during my stay in Miami, Florida, I took to the oceans’ of the Biscayne Bay to enjoy the day on a yacht, and partake in water motor sport activities. Throughout the day, I made social media recordings of my time at sea. One of the 15-second footages exhibited me taking the last of a drink, and tossing the plastic drinking cup into the ocean. Please accept my most sincere apology for the aforementioned. My actions were not only harmful to the animals of that natural habitat; yet, disrespectful to our environment as a whole. I am an animal, and nature lover. 4 weeks ago, I paid a visit to the Myrtle Beach Safari, to join forces, and shed light on saving Tigers and other rare species. I spent a great deal of time at their exhibitions’, and left with an even greater sense of regard and passion for animals. Once more, please accept my apology. My actions were not a good representation of my character, or the genuine regard I have for our environment. I am placing the blame solely on myself, as I self-consciously acted without rational thought. If possible, I would like to openly extend my service in cleaning up a beach during a future visit (with time and my schedule permitting).

It is reported that the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission are allegedly investigating the video of Cas tossing the cup into the ocean. It’s not entirely clear just what consequences the commission could issue if any.
