Worse than killer whales.


I mean the people who photographed the scene where killer whales tormented and killed the calf-whale. They could drive those horrible whales away, but did not do it. And I'm sure the same people threw that seal up to the killer whales and those tossed the seal like a ball. It is called "science".

Yeah. Those whales were mean bullies. Let's not talk to them anymore. Most killer whales dine on sea greens and tofu, and are full of love for all living creatures. Those ones were just jerks.

OH, humans.
Horrible whales? You should realize that living in nature is always a challenge. It's the cycle of life, ballance is the key. Who is man to judge what is right and what is wrong in the natural world. Even we are merely a part of nature, however we try to control it, twist it. Nature will always have its way.

About those "mean people" I don't think they would like to get on the way of the "horrible whales".
It is not called "Science" it is called life. As simple as that. Get off your cloud!

Humans, on the other hand are worse than the "horrible whales", thanks to us, a lot of animals are extinct.

They're filming a nature show, why would they want to interfere with nature?

I understand it's easy to feel sympathy for the smaller, cuter animals in the series... but this is life in the wild.

Are you gonna bark all day, little doggie, or are you gonna bite?

reply

That's life. I wish the calf could have been saved too, but really, the cameramen shouldn't interfere with nature like that. We already affect the world enough.

When filming a documentry about nature, the Nº1 rule is never to interfere to nature´s curse, It migth seem cruel, but that´s the rule of the wild world...only the strongest survive, men aren´t meant to judge if that is wrigth or wrong...specially wen they have been so irreponsable with this planet.

I understand where you're coming from but that would be like filming a documentary on chess and telling one player good moves to make.

Besides, cold hard truth is predators need to eat to live too.
