They did that “person collided with car and died” thing, but in the ocean.

No, the whale didn’t collide with a boat. A person driving a boat hit a whale and killed it.

Whale dies after collision with small boat off New Jersey shore

A minke whale has died off the New Jersey shore after colliding with a small boat. The incident occurred Saturday in Barnegat Bay and the impact nearly tipped the boat and threw a person overboard. Video shows the whale splashing near the craft before swimming away. The whale was later found dead on a sandbar in shallow water. The Marine Mammal Stranding Center said authorities couldn't approach due to tidal conditions. A necropsy is planned for Monday.

I'm with you on this, I dislike the shifting of responsibility .

@SnowyCA @davidho It is frustrating to see nature (as in non-domesticated non-humans) still considered today as beneath humanity and outside its responsibility; especially in the Western world.

@contrefeu

It is very disappointing and heartbreaking when I see the disregard, disrespect for the natural world.

We exploit rather than live with the environment.

I don't believe we were meant to conquer this earth, rather, we should live within it, as a part of it, we are not separate.
