  • It's so rare to see pure joy when people are saving an animal, usually you only see it when people are killing one. Respect.

  • This is a testament to the fact that there are still compassionate, helpful and persistent people who will do their best to help others. This is also a testament to the fact that animals are very intelligent and emotional creatures, that we are no better or higher than them, we are all part of this earth.

    Good job from these people, they will remember this event for the rest of their lives. In the afterlife, that whale will give them nice rides across the crystal seas...

see all

  • This is what normal life heros do! And this how whole humankind should act, helping other creatures! And to see that the whale seems to thanks shows how incredible intelligent they are! And who cute the little girl is: "I know what she is doing, she shows us that she is all free" :-)

  • what a shame, would of made great oil

  • this is amazing

  • what would have happened if the whale had dived whilst they were being dragged? oh wait... i think I can answer that... the whale would have got the last laugh

  • God bless people like you.Rutger Hauer

  • You all missed one important detail. These people put a 3 year old KID on the boat. They helped out a whale, sure, but put their child into horrible danger. A trapped, hurt whale is not predictable and could easily have smashed that small boat. It's one thing to help a whale and risk your own life, but to put a child in danger is negligent and these people should NOT be endorsed in their "selfless" actions that intentionally put an innocent person at risk.

  • How could people notice here that they don´t like this story? So it´s incredible!

  • How could some people notice here that they don´t like this story? So it´s incredible!!!

  • Wenn du wegen RTL hier bist, Daumen hoch xD

  • I`ve cried, when I saw the pure joy and happyness of this creature,... and my heart wanted to sing and jump like the whale.

    Thanks to these wonderful people, who risk a lot for this saving.

    May life be as merciful to you as you have been to this helpless animal.
