He recently had what might be considered a Moral Event Horizon when a rare bluefin tuna fish called Todd the Tuna asked for asylum from the fishermen who wanted him, only for Hawthorne to convince Sherman to help him kill Todd and sell him for money. It should be pointed out that weren't successful in any of the multiple attempts to catch him, and when Todd was finally killed in a completely unrelated accident involving Megan's cuisine, Hawthorne was unable to find a buyer in time and was left with nothing but tons of tuna which he used to make a sandwich for Sherman (who then complained about the lack of pickles).
