People Rescue Giant Manta Ray From Fishing Net | The Dodo

[@JonnoPlays]

That dude is a hero and a leader. It takes some real dedication to get people off their phones and actually do something together for no benefit to themselves. What a great guy. I'm sure he's really proud and he deserves it. You notice at the end he's the last one in the water still making sure the job got done.

Definitely. Manta Rays also have the largest brain of any fish (which they technically are), and have exhibited behaviors highly indicative of passing the "mirror test," which determines whether or not an animal is sentient, so whether or not it has a sense of self/is self aware.

@@atinab.6344 if god is so great, then why didn't he save the ray on his own. Men saved the ray and it was nothing to do with god. God was created on paper by the Hebrews to create the religion named judaism. Today we have offshoots called christianity and catholicism. God is only in the minds of people who believe in him and only so because they were indoctrinated with this idea of god in their childhood. I too was brainwashed as a child by the catholic religion and only because they wanted to control you and have you live in fear of the church just like my parents did. I control my mind and not the church!

[@rodmurray4321]

@@VarunRathi06 you are right my friend. In the developed world, people just seem to eat for pleasure and not to survive from day to day. This buffet style eating has reduced fish stocks to an all time low. Mackerel shoals used to be 3 miles long back in the 1930s but today the humble mackerel is nearly priced off the supermarket shelves. Britain wants to leave the EU so that it doesn't have fishing quotas imposed on it and this means fishing the seas till it's empty. I was surprised to read on the Internet that Goa in India has a fishing ban during July and August solely for the purpose of letting the fish stocks breed and when they resume fishing in September, they only catch fish without eggs. This ensures that there will always be fish in the Indian seas to feed future generations. Sadly, in the developed world, all the fish companies want to make millions of pounds or dollars or euros.

Cool the way other people just stood around and watched while the older dude is struggling with the Manta Ray he had to actually ask for help WTF. Right on to the dude that initiate the rescue humanity at it's finest you Rock brother!

[@crappyaccount]

I love how the guy complains about everyone filming without helping, whilst filming and not helping.

[@pabloignacioscaletta]

How cute! I'm glad that it was able to survive.

[@reginaduarte7452]

The man that was filming is from Germany but those others was talking in portuguese! I'm brazilian and proud to see these good men helping!!!!

[@kali_akasha]

Muito orgulho desse brasileiro 😍🇧🇷

[@unterdessen8822]

Yes, the German guy is from Berlin or the surrounding area. I can tell by his accent, when he speaks German. I first thought this could be somewhere in Southeast Asia - thanks for clarifying, that they speak Portuguese!

[@chrisch_1]

You heard a German speaking, but you don't know if this person was filming or just standing next to the camera. Later, you can see the German speaker in the film: It's the guy with the blue shirt who asked the others to help.

Why peoples are voting thumb down? This is the greatest satisfaction helping any animals in need on this earth.

[@diana-cy4kj]

Probably because so many people were filming instead of helping the animal.

[@blackjack444....]

They were thumbs down for the dudes watching and not helping 😂

[@bobcatbigpaws5597]

Because they are heartless like the people using hook lines and nets to catch fish and this is what happens.

For everyone who complains about the guy who says everyone is filming and not helping: Right after saying that he joins to help the animal. You can hear it (voice and language). At first they thought that the animal is dead but then realized it's still alive.

[@infostatics]

And if no one filming no one would even know about this vid. And if the filming is bad, people also will curse them for the stupid filming etc bla bla.. impressing people is endless... People who thinks they are positive aren't being that positive to begin with

This YT video is made possible by one of the folks at the scene who were filming from his cellphone or satellite phone. 👍

Poor majestic sea flap flap :( So glad it got rescued, so proud of that beach go-er for stepping up for a life most see as lower than them and for taking action instead of filming it as it dies like everyone else seemed to want to do smh. Hope for humanity boosted because of this guy 😊🙌

That ray was HUGE! So glad they got it free and it was able to swim away.

[@jessicamgallion8977]

The guy filming says everyone is filming and no one is helping, poor animal. Put down the damn phone and help then. That's what's wrong with our world these days. Everyone is so quick to hit record on their phones. What happened to help first?

[@ricardoromerofernandez6721]

Tienes razón.

[@I-talk-about-tough-topics]

Yeah, but they all thought the animal was dead at first. At some point someone says "Er lebt noch" and then one guy asking "Ja?" ("Really?") and the first guy repeating "He is still alive."

Ted Turner famously once said: “There are those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what happened.”

I don't know who Ted Turner is or was ( forgive my ignorance ) but he was so right. I do know about work ethics and I have found that there are talkers and doers. Talkers usually outweigh the doers.

The guy with "Ziggy" on his shirt that looks about 25 years old with a big muscular build, standing there filming smaller men twice his age trying to save that manta ray, should be ashamed of himself.
