Ship captain should have tasered him first.

Stuff happens. No need to get all blubbery about it.

Don't they normally tend to avoid ships? It's not like we suddenly discovered the usage of water as a means of transport.

I'm just saying that the whale should have looked both ways before he crossed the ocean. Darwin would be proud here.

I bet the gulls didn't mind.

This is what happens when you go out in the gulf and leave a 9 1/2 year old whale behind.

lighthousekeeper · 06-14-2009, 01:23 AM

did the mom and dad both need to go out on the gulf outing?

tarcone · 06-14-2009, 08:34 AM

It was a company gulf outing. They had to go.

There's a growing amount of evidence to suggest that the amount of noise we put into the oceans confuses whales' (and dolphins') sensory ability, especially when related to sound, so these things tend to happen.

To use an analogy: you've got the radio blasting in your car, the light turns green at an intersection, and so you enter the intersection and promptly get t-boned by an ambulance you were unable to hear.
