Jenkins described the scene as horrendous with the rays' eyes still open, emphasizing the barbaric nature of their killing: "The eyes of the rays were still open, it was just horrendous."
Concerning the incident, Jenkins expressed disbelief about the absence of fishermen: "There was not a single fisherman on the pier, which is unbelievable. It was one of the spookiest dives I've ever done."
The community has reacted strongly, with Weaire stating, "Sad report from a night dive yesterday at Chowder Bay. Massive bull ray hacked to pieces by fishermen."
There are growing calls for protective measures in Chowder Bay, as Jenkins and others urge declaring it a marine park to prevent such acts: "There are calls for Chowder Bay to be declared a marine park..."
