A Diver Sees A Giant Whale Shark In Terrible Pain, And Realizes He Has To Act Fast

in #whale8 years ago

You read about whale sharks being the biggest fish in existence but you don’t realize how big they truly are until you see one face to face with a human being.

These gentle giants of the deep are usually not aggressive and would normally avoid contact with divers, but this big boy was in pain. I thought that any trash we pollute our oceans with wouldn’t be able to hurt a creature this big, but apparently I vastly underestimated how fast we’re killing our planet. When the whale shark approached the diver he noticed a huge commercial fishing rope wrapped around the animal… cutting into its fins.

There was only one thing to do but it wasn’t going to be easy

Human beings going against evolution by saving an animal that isn't fit for a trash planet.
