whale watching in Oslob naa bay kaayohan sa mga taw ug sa mga butanding mismo?

[raissah]

All the assholes saying its bad for the whale sharks are obviously not talking based on experience or expertise. You have to see it from the whale's perspective. Would you stay in a place if you didn't like being there? It's not like the whales are caged in a zoo or whatever. Makakaon pa sila and they are safe from hunters and poachers elsewhere kay obviously no one from that place wants to hunt a butanding.

Stop deciding for others thinking you know better. The whales are better traveled than any of you and you guys think you know better? The whales just want to be friends with people is there anything wrong with that? We have hunted them to near extinction and they still want to be friends with us.

I say let the DSWD put aside a budget for their feeding. And I say DSWD and not Fisheries under Agriculture because these whales are better than many people. We've been feeding scum from the slums for decades and they have done little for the country besides rob, rape, and pillage. It's time we actually start caring for those that bring in money. Would a tourist pay to watch a rugby boy do his best impression of King Leonidas? Seriously who wants to be near a rugby boy much less try to pet it? Would the rugby boy appreciate it? I don't think so so it's a lose lose for everyone!

Would a tourist pay dollars to watch some harmless whales? YES!!! Would the whales like it? Obviously YES!!!

Tan-aw pa lang kag animal planet haron makasabot kas imong gipang storya. Taka2 yawit oi.

Obviously you don't know what you were saying..

provisioning as what Marine Biologist had called it or feeding the toki, have altered their behavioral pattern, there are supposedly have to hunt, they are supposedly have to migrate for nature designed them as such.

by provisioning, they were made dependent to the people who exploit them..

by making them inter-act with human, make them susceptible to the whale hunting people else where should this creature migrate.

Do you really Think the NORMAL behavioral pattern of Whales prevented them from Poachers? most whales are in the brink of extinction already - So obviously the Normal Behavior DOES not really matterwith poachers...

Poachers can Kill even the MOST Intelligent Whales out there so the issue you raised is Not really that much..

Feeding SOME whales will Not contribute to the EXTINCTION of the WHOLE species. May Mag Manabi nang ubang Whale dha sa uslob ngadtu sa ilang mga kauban nya manganha na tanan dha para mabahugan ra...

and Besides WALA man kay DATA maipakita nga ang mga NAPATAY nga whales sa mga Poachers DUNAY History nga nakig interact ug Humans...

Taga Oslob ako family...sa ako na.obserbahan mga around late 90's paman na ang mga butanding diha sa tan-awan Oslob. Ato nga time ang buhaton sa mga fisherman diha kay ilaha man na bugawon pirmi ang mga butanding palayo diha dapita kay maka.isturbo sa ila pag pangisda. But mag sige nalang gyud og balik2x ang mga butanding diha kay naka.uyon sad cguro sila sa ecosystem diha. Pag around mid 2000's due to some foreigners and local tourists naka.diskobre nga naay potential nga ma.tourist spot na diha dapita due sa mga butanding. So mao na ila na gihinay2x.yan og panindot diha dapita.
Fast forward karon...dako man og natabang sa local economy sa Oslob ang whale watching. Mura by schedule man cguro ilahang feeding diha unya wala man pud na gipang.bunalan ang mga butanding diha.
eversince na sikat na ang butanding diha kay daghan improvements Sa oslob. Na improve ang terminal, na preserve og develop ang Quartel sa Oslob. (Sus ..mahinumdom ko. Gihimo ra na og public toilet kutob sa mo anha diha dapita sa una).
Pinang.ga man kaayo sa mga locals og mangisda ang mga butanding diha.
Kung nakahatag og maayo, ngano undangon man?

Because there are some hypocrites who love the Whales... more than the Humans
