  1. humans: "we are Heroes ! "
    whales: uuummm … wasn't that Your net ? ! ?
    humans: "ooohhh, yeah, right, right … our bad. :-/ "
    love these stories, but hate to think of all the "un~rescued" :-s

  2. I seriously want to punch that guy yelling in the face. Truly obnoxious piece of shite and his friend could easily have been killed. While it takes skill to maneuver a craft alongside a major marine animal the hero is Sam who took an incredible life threatening risk. That is not how you inspire courage. I'm sure if Sam had been crushed to death between the whale and the boat his screaming and haranguing wouldn't have been too comfortable to watch. In moments like those it must only be solely the person's decision. Luckily for that beautiful creature Sam had courage and survived. I saw them on Ellen.
    I'm in love with you Sam and yes I'm a dude.

  3. I am confused. It seems to me that I just saw a bit on whales. It was either Global 3000 or Focus Europe.
    I think it was the head of Finland that okayed the slaughter of 351 whales a year to his relative's company.
    You do not hear about it in U.S. mainstream media though.
