Article on the BBC this morning, two women have been injured by hump backed whales in Australia this week. Both diving with the whales, one got trapped between two whales and the other one came between a mother and baby.
Yes, it was an organised trip etc etc etc but when will people realise that when you mess with wild animals you run the risk of being hurt?
It’s the same with people who go into game parks and get out of their cars and get eaten by lions etc.
So sometimes these animals tolerate us nearby, doesn’t mean they don’t get pissed off with us though does it?
WTF can’t we just leave animals in the wild and look at them from a decent distance rather than thinking it’s our right to engage with them up close and personal?
