Heart Warming Hump Day Humpback Humanitarians

If this video doesn’t tug at your heart strings, it’s probably because you don’t have any. Michael Fishbach, co-founder of the Great Whale Conservancy, on the other hand had miles of them. On a trip around the Sea of Cortez he and his shipmates spotted a whale trapped in a massive gill net. Together they risked their safety to untangle the whale and set it free. What happened after is the truly amazing part, the whale gave them an amazing aerial show of joy and thanks.

The Gulf Looks Like A Warzone

This video is just as intense and heartbreaking as any warzone video I’ve seen. I’m really not sure what to say, other than WE NEED HELP. It’s time to call in all the countries and corporations in the world to help clean up this environmental disaster before it’s too late. If we kill our oceans we’re not going to be able to keep ourselves alive.
