Valentine Thomas

Valentine Thomas (born 1987), is a city worker from Canada currently based in London. It’s not her profession that launched her into the social media spotlight, but rather, her hobby of choice — spearfishing. With thousands of followers, Thomas documents her spearfishing adventures with vivid photographs, where users flock to deliver both encouraging and disparaging comments about her hobby.
Thomas spoke about getting into spearfishing, dealing with sexism, and handling backlash from those who call her hobby inhumane. The words “sustainable eating” are included in Thomas’ biography section on Instagram, which point to her practices when spearfishing.
