@@Brembelia That it is, my friend. How are you doing in your own journey regarding this topic? I have been a vegetarian for 30 years, but I have had a big problem going vegan because of a disability with my back that prevents me from being able to stand long to cook much in the kitchen. It bothers me immensely that I am not able to progress to the next stage to cause less suffering on other creatures (veganism requires more prep/cooking time in the kitchen in order to get enough nutrients to survive, unfortunately).

In short, all whales are saints. Almost all humans are sinners. This is why human population is exploding while many animal species are going extinct and whale population is decreasing. There is no limit to human LUST and Greed. It's sad to see humans go extinct purely due to their insanity in enjoyment of their individual selfish pleasures while not caring for rest of their own species, let alone other species.

In a couple thousand years, if humanity hasn't ended itself, we'll probably be able to manufacture higher-level intelligent life out of octopi, whales, dolphins, pigs, etc. over relatively short timelines (like maybe a hundred years). For example, a watered-down version we could try today: Background - a certain species of octopus is capable of passing knowledge between members, but they aren't capable of passing knowledge down generationally because of the strong instinct mothers have to protect an egg clutch until they hatch, never leaving to hunt or eat and in experiments even refusing food provided to it. She always dies right after they hatch and they must all fend for themselves and learn via trial by fire. Experiment - If we just shoot the mother with some sort of dart-delivery mechanism that injects vital nutrients into it, say once a week or something, what would happen? Would she still just die? Would she live on and teach her young, potentially accelerating their growth & development and permanently altering their species' evolutionary timeline? Would she just eat a bunch of her own kids and then die for seemingly no reason? Lotta ethical and moral questions arise from experiments like these, but fuck that noise how cool would it be to help evolve intelligent dolphin people or sentient land-squids? I sure hope we don't nuke ourselves to the stone age so we can maybe find out one day! Heck maybe that's how we'll end our own species, by enabling one superior to evolve beyond control (that isn't an AI singularity).

Whales are the most caring creatures in the ocean. I was snorkeling with 2 friends off the shore of San Clemente Island in California when I was in the military. Two gray whales put themselves between us and some sharks until we got out of the water. That was both scary(sharks) and beautiful (whales)at the same time. We went out the next year and saw those whales again. They are magnificent creatures with souls (I believe) of angels.

As a surfer, this has happened to me once with dolphins that swam around me at a small distance. I was just as clueless about the behavior, until I saw a shark fin with it’s tail swaying side to side on the outer perimeter of the circling dolphins. It was a magical and sacred moment. I was so thankful and humbled by the experience. Thank you for sharing this and showcasing the altruistic behavior of nature. ❤🤙🏾🏄🏾‍♂️🐬🐋🐳

Loving an animal is sort of like expressing gratitude to God for His creation and appreciating what God has given us. His creation is even greater than we originally realize when we come to know it’s not just about us humans. The mammals that He made can love too, they have their own feelings and emotions. Just like how much they love their babies and how they mourn when one dies. Whale mothers who have a calf die will carry their dead baby on their head for days and you know they are grieving. I had a toy poodles who lost two puppies and she grieved so bad that our whole family were crying with her when she finally put the dead baby in my hand and dove in my arms and buried her head and literally sobbed. I learned that dogs learn words and they can read us like a book. Our horses and cats have shown great intelligence also.

But that’s not why altruism exists in nature. It was proven multiple times that this behaviour is the most effective one evolutionary. It exists because of the whales unconscious egoistic instinct to reproduce and survive by itself. Indirect it is indeed expecting something in return. Because of this video whales in general receive more love from humans so it’s survival strategy worked out here very well.

This story to me, is just stunning and it’s proof,that there is a creator. The amazing complexity of nature,and all her creatures, I stand in awe and wonder and amazement . A God designed this, I don’t know how he did, but there’s intelligent design here. The deeper you look, the more amazing it is, far beyond anything we can imagine , or ever could design. There is no figuring it all out, we can see myriad parts of the whole, but mankind will never know all the mysteries of creation. The whale , Gods creature , it’s such a beautiful thing. I have so many questions, but I must be satisfied with limited knowledge we as men have. And I am okay with that. Bless you for being a scientist , and being out there with this creature learning and helping . I think the creator gave a little something , a gift . For all your work, a moment of wonder that will burn brightly for the rest of your life. Thank you for sharing your awe inspiring story with us. It is a privilege just to hear of it.

One of the largest living creatures in the world, with a tail and a jaw that could crush your bones like they were dry spaghetti. And it contains this great strength that it has to gently nudge this tiny land-creature around that has unfortunately found itself in the water, when it could just as easily have ended her in the span of a moment. This is why we need to have more respect for nature, and for the sea.

Think of how CONSCIOUS these creatures have to be to maintain such gentle contact for so long, with all that mass...

Did you know that this has not always been the case? Early in christian history, even in Jew history, the religious institutions taught that humans had equals. They would often equate most cetacean authority to that of ourselves. After seeing that authority get exercised, I have to believe it, myself: that humans do have authoritative equals.

I have once caught and picked up baby hares who were harrassed by crows. They probably also were afraid I might hurt them, just like this scientist was afraid when the whale started pushing her away, but I only wanted to help them.
