that was so sad and a bit touching. stupid a**holes laughing like its funny at the end of the video and totally oblivious that the calf would die if it doesnt find its mother. baby whales need to be nursed just as same as human babies. best wishes to this whales journey.

It's illegal to touch harmless whales in hawaii, yet theres no rule for touching sharks, which could cause serious damage to flesh with one bite. Though some people wouldn't even dare come 600 feet near a shark, especially great white sharks.

Looks like the boat allowed itself to get in-between mother and calf. If this isn't a clear violation the law needs redrafting to require the operator to move 300 yards away from any whale even if the whales initially "approach", which is of course a bogus excuse 99% of the time employed by the operators as they know enforcement never happens.

You can...only if the whale initiates the contact. Otherwise, vessels have to stay 300 feet away from humpbacks in Hawai'ian waters, and humans cannot harass, touch, or pursue them.

Stupid people!

Poor little thing. These whales usually stay with mom for several years learning to survive. They nurse for many months to put on a little fat before mom will start to teach them they rest. Perhaps, mom was a first-timer, they are most likely to abandon. Very sad but it is nature. Now whaling, that needs to stop now.

That poor baby... you can even see its fetal folds. I hope this calf's story had a happy ending.
