HORRIBLE PICTURES!!!

We have been circulating these pictures in Facebook to call the attention of everyone concerned. I am hoping that by posting these here in SB, faster action will be made. Thank you Wantomien for sharing this info. This is really heartbreaking and those people who did this to the poor whale shark must be punished and there is definitely a need for the reiteration of the law that protects those helpless sea creatures...

I am assuming that you are a citizen of the Philippines, I would recommend lodging a complaint with the government National, Provincial and LGU to get some pressure applied to "make it stop"...... This kind of behaviour has been ongoing for a few months,....




Cheers,

I understand your concern, but it's difficult to comment without understanding more of the situation. What happened and why is the whale shark there? I assume it's alive, but, really, I cannot tell from the photo.
 
Thank goodness that this caught the attention of the people concerned. You may check the links below for more info.

And what do you want us to do ?

Those Wardens ( fishemen ) don't give a rats ass about those Whales Sharks as long as they are getting a few Pesos.
If it wasn't for the few Pesos they are collected they would of cut those Whale Sharks up a long time ago and make every dish they could they think of.

Not because they are hungry, just because that is they way they are !
