as a diver..
you will dream to meet this extraordinary whale shark...
it's a big FISH! 25 ft long.. hard to be spot
however in one of the Diver talks, it seems that these beautiful animals are swimming and fed by the Filipino fishermen tamely like a puppy..
how does it work?
this story goes like that..well based on what i heard..during the talk.
Fishermen goes fishing at dawn, to catch the shrimp..
Baby whales are near the edge, will chase the shrimps to near the shore, which is near the fishermen..
hence the fishermen will catch the shrimps easily!
After hours of catch, they will head back on shore, and pack the shrimps in bags to be sell in the market.
Few bags of shrimps will be kept and fed to the baby whales...
As time goes along, more and more whales eventually come and waited to be fed by the fishermen.
they also trying to make money by organizing divers to swim or feed the whale with just 100 peso. which is 2 or 3 dollars USD
so what's the problem of feeding the whales?
it's the showing of love and cares instead of hunting them and kill them
wish i can go there one day !
