Bravo to the divers who helped this fantastic animal. You all are heroes and I salute you all ❤❤❤❤
@LarryLaird-k9y
What a privilege to be a part of it although I realise it wasn't easy.
I just wish their gentle interaction could've been under far better circumstances 💛
Love this. Thanks for sharing 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
Humans - the best and worst thing ever created
@LouieBaLLz Yes, but lets not forget, Angels and Heroes dwell among us, and we just witness them! wishing you a sweet Christmas Season! cheers!
Yes. Thank you.🐋
OUR WORLD NEEDS A LOT MORE HEROES LIKE THESE!!
And less ocean garbage.
💕
We are here on earth as stewards of this planet. Many of us have lost sight of this basic purpose . Thank you to a those who help the animals on this planet. I am not PETA or vegetarian. We are humans and we need protein. But we should still respect God’s creatures. Farmers/ranchers are some of the best stewards on earth. They physically care for their animals. Yes they sale them, eat, etc… but they also ensure they have food, water, and are protected
-:($$?(7$
And alot fewer greedy idiots that are scouring the earth for gain!!
Poor whale! Perfect explanation of whale’s intelligence. Thank you humans for helping thus magnificent animal.
I can't understand how anyone cannot see the intelligence, compassion, and grace of these wonderful creatures.
All this video demonstrates is that whales recognize humans are mostly sentient beings.
@osajohnson1957 Mostly sentient! :)
there is zero doubt actually because even whales who have never been hunted learned to identify whaling ships and they learned to attack them,we actually found out the whales were talking to each other and ones that had survived seeing a member of their pod harpooned talked to others and warned them about whaling ships so they knew to fight back as well,this literally ended old school whaling to where now the japanese have to do it with a major steel ship they can't ram to sink and they now use explosive harpoons so it can't dive and pull the ship down with it
@Anon-zu3xn I seem to have heard that before. They are highly intelligent animals.
I cannot understand how anyone cannot see that this "story" is made up and told by an AI "voice".
We as humans, have a great responsibility to take care of each other, the wildlife and our planet. Great job freeing the humpback whale.
Beautifully spoken!! Amen and AMEN!!✝️
I totally agree!
These creatures are smarter, more compassionate and grateful than we will ever be. BEAUTIFUL
You are so very right!!
Couldn’t agree more. I find myself enjoying the company of animals much more than of humans. They’re so pure and precious. Humans don’t deserve them.
@nicinoz God gifted humanity an abundant home filled with endless ways to enjoy it. Good humans earn the blessing of company or companionship of animals. Those divers all earned the blessing of that experience vs what a whaling ship might have done. It's really the same with all interactions with all creatures. Do you deserve it? Yes, if you are good, decent, fair. Deserve children? Only if you're ready to make their safety, well being, healthy, education et al, a top priority over ALL else. Yes, I deserve my animals and the gifts they bless my life with. But every single one came to me with planning and intention, same as my children. If you go to work, follow your job description, put in good effort, you absolutely deserve your paycheck. Good humans do deserve the lives they have worked for 😊
@missryanswersand yet so many bad humans live a life of abundance and wealth.
Humans are animals too.
@strangelet4588 Free will allows for both good & evil, faithful & unrepentant to suffer or exceed. Our loving Creator blessed us with a body and a soul to do with it as we desire. Each of those lives will be evaluated by Our Father after their last breath. John 3:16 is key information to living a life you can hope to be proud of: accept & admit your missteps, repent purposely negative or negligent actions to yourself or others, and use the brain & body you were gifted to assist God's living creations who were not blessed with all you were. Accept with grace, help offered from those given more of what you have less of- be it physical, mental, social, or financial. Accept challenges with grace because that means God believes you are ready to grow. If you keep getting the same type of challenge, it may be bc you haven't yet learned what your Holy Father is trying to teach you. OR there is more to learn. He is not punishing the faithful by challenges. He is loving you into a stronger version of yourself. If you lose a loved one, it may be bc they had suffered enough challenges and learned all they needed and God is allowing them to skip all the very hard earthly challenges, pass GO, and go directly to their permanent Home, including newborns, fetus & embryos lost. God is ALL WISDOM. We cannot know or understand here & now. Yet we can trust in His Love, His Word, His sacrifice of His only Son in order to create everlasting life & show us the Holy Trinity understands what it means to live a human life. His Son was Love, patience, kindness, healing and yet He was tortured to death...all for a reason. Have hope, find faith~which means believing what you cannot see, and trusting in worldly gifts of proven miracles that still go on today. Stay clear of jealousy, of being glutinous of anything: from social media, food, unhealthy mind/body altering or damaging substances, to being too absorbed in fame, fortune, beauty, or sexual actions or fantasies. Find healthy ways to enjoy the earth and all of its inhabitants: climb a tree, learn bird calls, study in science, biology, ethics, child development & teaching, police science, sociology, aging, wild animal rescue+/-veterinary sciences, theology, world religions, specialize in creatures microscopic, oceanography, meteorology, medicine, or anything that calls to your heart that can affect our future by knowing not only our history but recognizing where we are going and where we COULD go instead with new studies. Hate doesn't want good things for others. God IS rooting for us to go far and beyond into the future to find more good things for His creations & keep the good things we have attained. Success comes with failure & vice versa. Best wishes in your navigating the life you've been handed ❣️
Hate is a very ugly word, so when I say it it draws deep feelings. I hate whale hunting and I do hate what these magnificent beings have been made to go through. We spend billions in search life on other planets when we spend relatively pennies understanding life on this planet... sad 😔😔😔😔
So true so true❤
And the reason this whale was in such distress is because of getting tangled in human's fisherman nets.
This is incredible! How do we not get it? that we are all here together. . . We depend on each other, that is, animals, ocean, air, people, cooperation and not dominance
Fewer people and a greater understanding of our shared lives on this astounding planet would go a long way in insuring continued existence for us all.
Its,Creulty and unhuman they are such Gentle,Giants
Thank you for rescuing this wonderful cetacean and recording the rescue. ♥️
Yes
Your compassion and the whale's trust brought me to tears. The world needs more people like you.
😭. Blessings to The Whale and All Who Helped It In It’s Moment Of Need. There Is A Lot Of Good In The World, It Just Doesn’t Get Reported Enough.
This made me cry because the way the whale being cooperative and the humans being patient abdhelpful was just exhillarating! Thank you so much GOD BLESSED YOU ALL🙏❤️🥰
me too x
I stopped buying Japanese cars two decades ago because they hunt and kill hundreds of whales a year for “research “ and they slaughter thousands of dolphins a year in a bay in Japan.
I love this. God bless these men and good luck to the whale.
AGREED.
god is imaginary
@power2084 Maybe. Maybe not. If not, then everything came from nothing all by itself. Consider a hummingbird. Did it design itself? What do you think of its capabilities? Could you design a better one?
Now consider a Boeing 747. A big airplane that can fly great distances at high speeds carrying heavy loads. Where did it come from? Men designed it, built it, fly it and maintain it. That's where it came from- and that tiny hummingbird is actually a far more complex creature. No one on earth could build a living, breathing replica of it. Not even you.
💕
Maybe you should educate yourself ? And learn about evolution ?
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR FREEING AND HELPING THIS POOR WHALE, GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!❤
Words of gratitude fail me , my thanks to all involved.
Bro deserves a Nobel Peace Prize
That's for trumppr!🤗🤗
You brought this scuba diver to tears. My husband and I lived on Cape Cod and my husband was always happy when we rescued our native sea life. God bless you all and believe you will get to the of the line.
Did he then go home and tuck into fish n chips though?
RESPECT!!! I just hope there are more people like you... Who put their lives to help animals in danger....
Amen
They're everywhere. You just don't hear about them. They're unsung heroes.
50 feet long 60 tons. This creature is one of god’s creatures and we must get along with.
These people involved in this rescue will share this with their grandchildren and so on.
BEAUTIFUL.
Pigs and cows are "Gods" creatures too , mr warm
@SPS-u5w so?
The one thing I do know, is all the things that have gone into our oceans is absolutely disgusting. These Beautiful Creatures are so AMAZING‼️ Thanks to the men who saved this whale 🐳
Overpopulation and ignorance are what's to blame for the trash.
A few summers ago I saved a pelican at North Padre Island. We were fishing off the jetty and one of my friends asked for a knife. When he cast his line was caught around a pelican and he was just going to cut the line! I said HECK NO and slowly pulled the bird in. My friend wasn’t pleased. I needed to lean down and bring the bird up to me so I could cut the line. My friend was going nuts! He was concerned the bird would hurt me. I must admit that the hook on the end of his beak was daunting. However, I just kept talking to him softly. I finally got the last piece off and slowly released my hands. Mind you, he didn’t move the whole time I held him! It was probably 20 minutes and he never wriggled; and never tried to bite me. When I was no longer holding him he just sat there in my lap so I picked him up and lifted him towards the sky. He moved his wings and flew away. I stood up and turned around to see about 40 folks watching me…including some kids! That made me REALLY happy! THEN…they all looked up and gasped! I turned around and saw that pelican He had flown BACK to me and circled me 3 times before he took flight and joined his flock!!! I got tears in my eyes (have them now, too!) He was acknowledging me! It was AMAZING! When I got back to my brother’s I told him what had happened. His eyes grew large and he told me that about a week prior to this he had seen a sea gull in the road gutter. He was just hopping on one foot. My brother picked him up and brought him home. Next day he took bird to his vet. A dissolving cast was put on the weak leg. Then my brother took him back near where he had found him and released him. You know what that gull did? He didn’t fly away immediately! No! He flew 3 circles around my brother and then took off! 😢The next morning there was a seagull sitting on his roof. He had lived there for 15 yrs and had never seen a gull up there before. That gull stayed at my brother’s home for about a month. Every day he sat on the roof. It wasn’t the injured gull but another. But he sat there as if he’d been SENT by the injured one. Interesting…RIGHT?
I used to deal with pelicans in California a good deal, on weekends at a local pier. They can't really hurt you, their jaw muscles are not strong enough to do any damage... Worst they can do is scratch you, sometimes enough to shed a little blood, but even that is really rare. They don't chew their food, got no teeth so no reason to have strong jaw muscles. The don't crack open nuts like parrots sometimes do...The enjoy the company of humans also... I suppose they get bored hanging around with sea gulls and cormorants, and they also are curious to understand how we catch fish.... that activity makes sense to them, so they pay attention when a fish gets reeled in.
My Dad was a very avid angler for years in northern Minnesota. He was fishing one evening, felt a tug on the line, and thought he had caught a nice sized fish. He reeled it in and discovered it was a full-grown Loon on his hook. He had not seen it before, because they were in the area but not nearby, but they can swim long distances under water, so it was a fluke hooking. He pulled it into the boat, put it on his lap, the Loon was calm the whole time, and he carefully got the hook out of the Loon. He then stroked it for a while without the Loon making any attempts to leave or fight him, and then my Dad calmly put it back in the water where it swam and then flew away. I thought it was a cool event in my Dad's life.
Lovely to see the compassion and co-operation between the people and the beautiful whale
Remarkable story!
Thank you for helping the whale and sharing this video 🫶🫶🫶
TY for taking care of this majestic giant.
God Bless these brave men ❤
Love the fin wave at the end. And what a great story of human kindness to our fellow earthlings!
Intelligence is obvious no matter the shape of the creature. We all have to value the lives of the rest of the creatures this wonderful planet has gifted us by not polluting our planet EVER. It’s always so amazing but normal when a creature of any kind helps another and is rewarded by the loving thanks from that rescue. I love our blue planet so much!!! The life that exists here is constantly mind boggling in its immense and treasured beauty.❤
And ofcourse the whale got in trouble by humans stupidity. So only fair it got help by a human .
all lies anyways. never happen as said.
God has blessed us with many fabulous creatures in this world. May we always remember that 😊😊
Exactly.
Go vegan.
Humans are tasked with take care of the animals on this planet on land, sea and air. Too many humans destroy them over greed. This is a beautiful story with a great ending.
Well done folks.
Thank you for saving this magnificent creature and thank you all for being the people you are.
I wish you rainbows.
Any one involved in such a rescue, how simple or intricate they may be, it changes one's life. It changes their legacy. It gives them joy for rest of the life being part of that experience. People from all over the world show these kindness to saving animals from elephants in Asia to a crocodile who was stuck with a tire for many years in Indonesia. Deers in USA and Canada to seals in Africa. We are emotionally attached beings and when the opportunity comes to rescue another living being, no matter how small or big, we volunteer without thinking. The amazing thing is even a crocodile , which is not a mammal would understand that we are there to help. Many animals in the world, specially mammals somehow trusts humans when they need help. It is like every animals has been taught to approach humans if they were in trouble and luckily we never disappoint them.
Incredible, these creatures are amazing, Thank you for helping..
And pigs are not , of course . Let's slaughter them , dear animal lovers
Awesome story. Love this helping of animals and aquatic life. What a fantastic memory to die with. Beautiful
Thank you so much for saving this wonderful whale. You are truly heroes.
Thank you for helping that poor whale.
We need to spend millions on learning how to communicate with them.
Way smarter than us
There is a story on YT about an A.I. has recently managed to have a 20 minute conversation with a whale!
Apparently it was an actual coherent conversation, so this may be closer than you think.
Edit: I would freaking love to know what they discussed!!
We also need to spend million on how to communicate with Democrats
What an amazingly wonderful story😊Thank you so much for saving the Hump Back Whale.
Thank you so much divers for freeing this beautiful intelligent animal.
Wunderschön
Tiere wissen, dass Menschen ihnen in der Not helfen können, wenn sie dies wollen! ❤❤❤❤❤
The majesty and awesomeness of our world is mind boggling.
Fantastic job to all involved. Thank you for your compassion for this amazing being.
I always say , animals are smarter then we give them credit for. They are here for us to admire and take care of if at all possible. ❤😊
Exactly. That's why there is no excuse for consuming animal products...
Bravo to all of us that risk helping animals in nature that seem to be able to share with us, their problem so we can help them. We caused the problem, we should fix it - by all means!
AGREED.
Whales are smarter than we are. Thank you for helping him.
I AM TRULY Amazed how an AI cameraman created such a dramatic story so quickly from so many news videos and so many terabytes of nature documentaries & vocal files!
The Whale was conscious! I am so happy to view this! Thank you!!!
And humans think we are so superior-what a wonderful interaction with a creature of God❤
Yes indeed, they all need to take a lesson from the glory of the Lord
all lies, fake story!
@essiefowler9775 Your 'god' did nothing to help the whale. Men did.
My thoughts exactly!❤
Which of the 3000 Gods do you mean? 🙄
You have to thank heroes like these people thank you. Great video great cause.
We need more heros not nut cases.
Beautiful!!! Thank you for helping this amazing creature!!
I recognize those shirts, Sea Shepherd. Great organization. Thank you for all you do in helping whales.
Five hours is a long time to spend in challenging circumstances at these were. That was some entanglement that the whale was in!
God bless these divers who knew what to do and at big risks. Amazing at some point the whale understood and even tried to help. A truly difficult but life changing experience these divers will always remember. So glad this was caught on tape to see what humans are doing or not doing to cause this animal so much stress and pain.
And They have and Show Gratitude.
I'll remember it forever and I wasn't even there.
This story evoked my tears. What a brave crew, and a really miraculous result. Thank you so much for what you all did.
Sure . And you are vegetarian
These are special creatures and we should do everything to ensure their survival. My only experience close up to a whale was at Sea World in San Diego in the 90s, They had rescued a baby Gray Whale that had lost its way and was separated from his pod. They had him in this huge metal tank that had port holes all around. They called her J J the Baby Gray. I remember standing there looking at her through a port hole and him looking back at me. I could see the emotion, a slight sadness in her eye. I will never forget her looking back at me. They released her a short time later and I am certain she is still out there somewhere swimming freely.
I truly believe these animals, and elephants, are more intelligent and more collectively conscious than humans. Our advantage is our dexterity (hands, feet, arms, etc.). One need only think about the fact that they and their ancestors have been around for millions of years vs. our thousands. We should treat them accordingly, with respect and compassion.
Спасибо хорошим людям. Пусть вам воздастся за тяжёлый труд и добрые сердца!
Whales and Bats are two of the most important mammals on earth 😍💓🕊️✌️🦇🐋
God Bless you all,, I think you all were the Giants in this video…..and the giant gained a new compassion for humans. 👊thank you all.
Such a tearjerking story. Thank you to James and the team
Every time I watch these videos , my day is so much better. The power of ❤️ transcends all the horrible acts we humans do to each other. Thank you, thank you❤❤❤
You vegetarian, of course
@SPS-u5w 98% of the time. I DO NOT eat any seafood and haven't for 20 yrs. I refuse to contribute to the ocean's destruction . When it dies, the web of life is gone.
Sometimes my body craves meat, than I eat it. Thanks for caring.
Sentient being. Thank you brave kind rescuers.
God bless all of you involved in such a challenging and beautiful task!!!
What a beautiful story, and lesson. Thank you
I am so happy and so grateful that James and the other members of the dive group stayed and helped that poor distressed animal.
Thank you for staying and giving assistance to the whale.
Well done 🤩
Other animals tell them how helpful the Humans are… they also show you their gratitude saying Thank you !!! 🌹❤️💯💯💐
Beautiful
Thank you so mutch!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
It’s nice to hear stories like this
Alle die wahren Helden auf diesem Planet ! ❤
Bravo! Thank you for rescuing that majestic animal.
We need to get the message through to all fishing crews, and perhaps require refundable deposits for returning fishing gear. But, because there is so much plastic and fishing gear already in the oceans, we need to fund plastic and fishing gear retrieval boats. After dewatering on land, plastics can be burned in incinerators with cogeneration of electricity. This would probably be limited to 900 psi steam (in some cases only 600 psi steam). Nonetheless it should be done. Start with a pilot program.
Then the gases pollute the atmosphere...
There still ARE some GOOD people in the World.
Anyone that purposefully hurts even one of our sea, forests, woodland and plains creatures, definately has a black, unevolved soul. Animals are our saving grace. They all are innocent, instinctual, beautiful, mindful, intelligent, breathtaking, and fascinating. They give us unconditional love, pride, gratitude, and joy. Protect these sweet, amazing friends. Honor them. Bless them. Help them. Protect them. Pray for them. Love them. 😊😊😊😊🎉❤
Every creature on this planet has a soul and certainly has feelings from ants😊 to a whale
The world needs more people like these human beings with their intelligence, compassion and empathy. It's really sad that all this debris is in our oceans and I seriously believe it is from the tsunamis that have occurred and not from people throwing trash in our seas. We all get affected by global warming and we all as humans need to do our due diligence to save our planet. 🙏🏻🥰
Thank your. You fill me with joy.
Great story. We all can get along together and share the gifts we have in common-the capacity to love, respect and assist one another.
Thumbs up to the entire team including Moby. 😊
The video would have been much better if you kept the whale pics to the one entangled in the net.
The Whale brain is large because it must commit to memory every part of the ocean floor along with all the scents and sounds of their respective ocean !!!😅😅😅
This is a story of courage, respect and love from these expert divers for all creatures on earth. ❤️❤️
Thank you Sea Shepherd 🙏🏼
This is so wonderful and beautiful, this beautiful creature got the help he needed, he was lucky to find the group of people who knew what to do. The trust between human beings and whale was fantastic too. I was so delighted when all of the effort put in achieved the whales freedom and he showed his joy at being able to swim freely again, even thanking the man who put this rescue operation into action. Thank you all for recognising the pain the whale was in and straight away helping it to freedom you are all stars⭐💖
Kahlab ❤🎉😅😅
When I was a young Navy man I seen the pollution that ships throw into the ocean. Plastics, metal, paint and chemicals, computers, grease etc. Our government turns a blind eye. Something has to be done!
Certainly brings a tear to my eye. We have so much to learn from the natural kingdom ❤️
Damn you made me cry. We are such a paradox as a species. Responsible for so much damage driven by our selfishness and greed, then capable of compassion and kindness like these good people. Let’s hope we can evolve towards the latter before it’s too late.
Very well done !!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Whales are such fantastic friends, very smart and so gracious !
Thank you for being amazing humans. You are a true inspiration!🐳🐋💙
Thank you so much...perhaps that is why I wear a Humpback Whale necklace, to keep them in our conscience every day and perhaps to aspire to save another. Blessings. ❤
The gentle giant of the ocean has feelings and knows good from bad. The whale showed back its love with a happy ending thanking the Great Team who saved its life. Thanks to all.
What's with the video clips of different species? Blue whales, hump backs etc.....
And a southern right whale
Thanks for this video. Animals know good people.x
Well done, to all those who helped with the rescue. ❤
What a beautiful story, we don't give marine life the credit they diserve. Well done to those divers for having the knowledge to know that this magnificent whale was in trouble.
GOD BLESS YOU. What you did is pure kindness. We owe these magnificent animals. Whale hunting is pure evil.....
Although the actual story MAY be true, the video footage is just a bunch of random, nonassociated clips that have been cobbled together for dramatic effect.
Click bait
Man, I absolutely *love* these stories. Animals are much smarter than most ppl, I believe. They seem to have stored knowledge of humans and excellent timing seeking helping when distressed. Bless all of you.
Magnificent story and a great outcome!
👍👍👍👍
Im in tears!
I think that whale was not just showing appreciation, but also *affection*. 💗
Thanks for that rescue team. Brilliant job!
This is so Awesome! Thanks to All that saved this Beautiful Creature!!
