Spiritual guru’s word saves hundreds of whale shark

1 posts
  1. Hey folks,

    We need more of this kind of religion! A spiritual leader in India has made it his personal mission to save the whale sharks in their waters. Take a look at this:

     

    Morari Bapu’s campaign helps enforce law to save the fish; hunted, they fetch almost Rs 1 lakh each

    VERAVAL, JANUARY 22: For a fisherman, nothing is perhaps more painful than to let go of a big catch with his own hands, especially if it happens to be a 30-ft whale shark that would fetch at least Rs 80,000.

     

    But that’s exactly what fishermen of Saurashtra are doing — often cutting their expensive nets and releasing the whale shark they once butchered by the hundreds as the gentle giants came to breed in the warm waters of the Arabian Sea.
