Sea World rescue workers rushed to save the 33-foot whale tangled in netting off Australia’s Gold Coast. Environmental campaigners say shark nets should be taken down during the migration season as even whales that get rescued sometimes die due to the stress involved.

God bless to the people who help animals.
Maybe this whale will spread the word about good humans to the Orcas 😬
Take the nets down the sea belongs to those inhabitants not us..go use a swimming pool if worried about sharks.
Very sad to read that some whales die due to stress of being caught and the experience of the net trapping them.Humans are the the worst animals..go swim in a pool !!!
They need to make these nets illegal!
Poor creature! It must have been terrified. Thank goodness for the rescuers' quick intervention.
God Bless you!!!! Thank you Thank you Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏❤️
I really needed to see this. Great job saving the whale:)
I believe that all such netting from boats should be retrieved from the sea, too many fishing boats in the past have disguarded unwanted and damaged nets into the sea. Without thinking about the harm such items will do. Should be brought back to land and recycled. I'm glad the whale is free ,thanks to the rescuers.
Thanks to those people who rescue them
Thank GOD!!! And thank God for such amazing volunteers!!!
Sad that they leave those nets in the water. There needs to be police on the seas to stop these fools. Guess thats the coast guard ..amp it up. Thanks God he was so close to top of water peopel could see him.. God's creation should be taken care of and humans need to stop doing pointless foolishness.
Thk u angels 😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰🥰💜
Job well done. Nice…
That was so beautiful 😢😊❤❤❤
Whales are very intelligent! It knew they were trying to help. By lifting up its flipper as for them to get it off better. He knew the Assignment 🐳 And it basically stayed put till it was free. That was amazing to see.
THIS is what SeaWorld should focus on. Great job. 👏🏾 This is a much better look than Blackfish.
How come this doesn’t have 100k likes?
Amazing,Love this!
Why are there shark nets there anyway?!
Shark nets??? so they catch sharks there?
Why aren’t you diving? But doing it from a boat? And pulling the whale towards you? 🤦🏼♀️
If this is what they do with their profits, I’ll go to the park again
Then what they bring it to sea world and lock it up
Excellent and why all of us should stop eating commercially caught fish.
Hooray for the few humans left in this world! You've done a great, noble thing! I thank you, and so do the whales. Kudos…
❤ love it ❤
Great job Men! 👍
We are ruining the only planet we can live on. Not just for ourselves but the animal and plantlife.
Maybe get rid of the shark nets or move them closer to the beach
Hearing the whale breathing for air sounded like he was struggling and gasping for air 😢 poor thing what an amazing job to save lives while getting paid!
A big clap for those daring men
Oh my goodness! Blessed this whale was freed and saved.
