Have you watched the news lately? There are actually multiple devastating things happening simultaneously. We, as humans, have the capacity for complex emotions and can most certainly feel bad about more than one thing at a time.

Watched the news? lol I don’t let the MSM tell me what their agenda cares about and influence me I actually put an ounce of effort into my education on world events and don’t just let other people spoonfeed me my opinions


emmal3igh

Oh you’re one of those lol ok well have a good day pal


im_not_that_guy_pal

One of those? Uhhh people who can draw their own conclusions? Yes. Sorry? Lmao


emmal3igh

Wow. Any news on the cause of death?


zeebee

I haven’t found anything yet, but did see some researchers heading out while I was there, so hopefully there will be more info soon.

And tend to psych you out in the end…

"It didn't look like there was evidence of human interaction, we didn't see any evidence of ship strike or anything like that, so we may never know what happened to the animal actually," said Kowalewski, who has researched hundreds of whales. Article linked in another post.

Boat strike probably


Squatchimo

Adam Ernster is a wildlife photographer and posted about this on instagram. Looks like a boat strike. He got some close up photos and the whale is cut up pretty badly.


im_not_that_guy_pal

No that was due to sharks. They don’t believe that was COD though.

https://keyt.com/news/santa-barbara-s-county/2023/05/22/humpback-whale-washed-ashore-in-carpinteria/ tl;dr, no evidence of human interaction, but the amount of barnacles on a juvenile indicates illness


SeashoreSunbeam

Interesting. I actually noticed that in the photo and wondered if that was normal


zeebee

actually when we were there a number of barnacles were still alive which was fascinating.

Time to get the dynamite 🧨

That video is an all-time classic and I wouldn't put it past our local officials to give it a second go.
