Info Wars in "Kittens used as bait for sharks and marlin!"

I saw a short video clip on a Romanian news websites which allegedly showed kittens used as bait for sharks.
The vid ends by sending viewers to a website where the only thing you can do is to buy T-shirts...
There is this US-based NGO called PETA which is struggling to put an end to cruelty inflicted on animals by human beings. A situation which is completely true, I don´t deny it.
But the videoclip they posted is totally fake as it plays very well with people´s emotions.
The elements which indicate that an individual or PETA fabricated the vid in order not to draw people´s attention but to get a lot of money:
-in the light of US traditional system of volunteers and personal involvement, the website asks only for money, not for any real personal involvement
-the stereotype thing is present: a bunch of young rich bad cruel arrogant white Americans use adorable, innocent kittens to fish sharks in a remote area where Western civilization is absent
-you don´t really see a hook entering the kitten´s body/head, the kitten had a black collar or something to hold the hook
-you don´t actually see a kitten being killed or eaten (everything is suggested)
-the narrator´s voice sounds very unrealistic
-if PETA or this particular individual wanted to really show how kittens are used as bait they should have zoomed the image when the shark bites or kills the poor kitten, but a lot of stuff is used only to suggest
-no blood
-no direct contact between the kitten and the shark
-the only cruel thing is that they (the authors of this vid) made an adorable kitten doing a lot of swimming, the only cruel thing is as well the fact that the wet kitten is freezing and trembling
- notice cat swimming in calm water: in all open water shots, water was rough, waves choppy, boats moving with wakes behind.
-they didn´t show the content of the shark´s stomach when put on the ship, since they had the shark on board they could as well show the alleged kitten bait in his stomach, don´t you think?
-the kitten has no reaction when the hook is allegedly inserted in his body
-the various scenes are on different boats, and the high fiving at the end is no proof they were doing it because they killed a cat (again suggestion)
-time 1:01-1:05 is filmed at a lake or pond cause there is grass in the background, there's no grass at the ocean, whereas there should be a beach not grass.
-the water color is two different colors when filming. In the shots with the cats, the water is dark like a pond or lake and the ocean shot with the sharks the water is light blue like the ocean.

Just see the vid twice and consider my analysis. It´s fake and PETA or that individual got a fucking lot of money from selling T-shirts and impressing millions of light-hearted people.
This does not mean that this habit, of using animals as bait for sharks and other species of big fish, does not really exist or it does not mean that animal cruelty is a bogus, but this vid is a good fake. And it took a lot of editing, really!
