Whale Researchers Hit Whale with Their Whale-Researching Boat
A 50-foot National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) boat hit a right whale the other day off the coast of Massachusetts. The research and protection agency, one of whose duties is to protect the endangered whale, slammed right into the damn thing at 22 miles per hour. Sometimes, in order to save the whales, you need to run over them with a boat.
What I don’t understand, though, is this: the research crew hit the whale. Then they followed the whale for 45 miles to make sure it was ok (it was). All of this happened out in the middle of the ocean, yet it was reported in national news outlets, which means that somebody told the press about the incident. If I were a whale protection boat captain, and I hit an endangered whale with my whale-protecting boat, and no one was there to see it… then as far as I know, it basically didn’t happen.

I work with these kind of people.
Totally the way they think.
Don’t let them near power tools.
And don’t work for them directly.
WTF do whales do?
i think they mostly just hang out in the way of boats.
Why the fuck is this filed under Khloe Kardashian? She gave you guys an interview and you guys file a random story about a whale under months later?? HUH.. Whoever this “Ben” guy is def not f-listed worthy. At least when Sabrina and Melysa do the stories they make fun of the Kardashian they do it in a funny matter. Go home BEN!
