Text Chapter 1222 The Human Life Lawsuit and the Dead Whale
After arriving in Sidao Town, Xiao Peng learned the ins and outs of the matter, only to find out: Yang Meng really didn't talk nonsense.
Zhu Yilin did get a life lawsuit, and four navigation whales did die in Sidao Town. And these two things are still one thing. It is not quite accurate to say this, to be precise, it is the management committee of the new tourism area that is involved in the lawsuit.
The whale watching tourism project in Sidao Town is actually a very controversial thing. The fact that the environmental groups that make money have nothing to do is telling.
Many people think that whale watching is an environmentally friendly way to travel, but in fact, whale watching can be a disturbance to whales.
Because the whale watching boat will collide with the whale, which will bring harm to the cetaceans, and the cetaceans are the same as when they encounter natural predators when facing the whale watching boat------ accelerate the swimming and breathe quickly, which will make them unable to hunt and consume a lot of physical strength. In particular, those whale watching boats will chase whales in order to observe whales up close, which will bring great frightens to cetaceans and affect the normal life of whales.
Similar things have happened in whale watching destinations around the world, such as the bottlenose dolphins that live in New Zealand's Magical Strait, which are likely to become extinct within a few decades, and the abundance of whale watching in the region is forcing these dolphins out of their habitats. There are fewer than 50 bottlenose dolphins there, fewer than 70 dolphins in the Mekong River for the same reason, more than a dozen dolphin whales killed every year in the Bocas del Toro area of Panama, and of course, there have been cases where whale watching boats have been overturned by whales too close to them.
In order to achieve scientific whale watching and whale protection in the town of Sidao, a series of regulations have been formulated: a minimum distance of 50 meters between the whale watching boat and the target, a speed limit for boats in the whale watching area, and a no-entry area.
This is a very appropriate way to protect the safety of cetaceans and tourists, and the whale watching boats in Sidao Town are under the jurisdiction of the Tourism Management Committee, so these rules are strictly enforced.
Although the boat has prepared high-powered binoculars for whale watching, the forest is too big and there are all kinds of birds, and there are really people who do not follow this rule: a tourist feels too far away from the whale and has to get closer to the whale to watch the whale. The reason is also shocking: his girlfriend wants to take a photo of the whale touching!
Naturally, the captain of the whale watching boat couldn't agree to such a stupid behavior, and then the tourist actually did something that made everyone jaw-dropping------ he actually wanted to grab the boat from the captain!
The captain and the other passengers worked together to control the boat from him, but at this time, it was definitely impossible to continue whale watching, and everyone could only return to the ship, and the guy who was controlled by everyone did not dare to make another attempt in the face of a boatload of passengers, so he could only sit on the side with his girlfriend and curse the street.
And then...... God forgave whom? This guy suddenly had a heart attack and was lying on the boat, and although he was given relevant help, he still died before he insisted on being sent to the hospital.
When it got here, everything hadn't deviated from the norm, after all, there were so many witnesses on the ship, and there were surveillance videos that could prove that it was the guy who killed himself, but what happened next was a little weird.
The wife of the deceased sued both the management committee of the new tourism area and the captain of the boat, on the grounds that the captain and his husband had a dispute that caused his husband to die of a heart attack, and that the management committee of the new tourism area of Sidao Town did not fulfill its rescue obligation when his husband was on a whale watching, and did not inform him in advance of the risks of his husband's boat ride, which caused his husband to die.
The most speechless thing is that this guy obviously brought Xiao San to play, but when it came to his wife's mouth, he became a pillar of the five good men in society, looking at the evaluation of that guy in the indictment, it is not an exaggeration to select the 'Touching Chinese Person of the Year'。。。。。。
As for the death of the navigation whale, there are really navigation whales here in the town of Four Islands!
At that time, Xiao Peng met a mother giant fin whale when they were in the Caribbean, and her 'hybrid' ------ a calf that sang a 52 Hz whale song. Xiao Peng gave them a spiritual enlightenment spell and asked them to come to the Qianliyan Sea Area. As a result, it was not only the mother and son, but also a group of navigation whales.
These navigation whales don't come here because of spirit-lifting, but because of 。。。。。。 Ahem, bigfin whale feces.
Whales are a very important part of the ecological chain in the ocean, large baleen whales such as big-fin whales, need to eat several tons of food a day, and these foods will not be completely digested, and can produce tons of poop every day.
Although these whale feces are disgusting to humans, for small fish, this feces is even more delicious than pies falling from the sky, because these whale feces contain a lot of organic matter that whales have digested half or not at all, and this is the best delicacy for fish.
And these schools of fish and squid attracted by feces become food for navigation whales, especially squid, which is the favorite food of navigation whales. So another group of navigation whales arrived at Qianli Rock, and according to the observation of no human machine, this whale group was about 20 whales. At that time, Xiao Peng was researching perfume, and Yang Meng ignored them after discovering that the group of navigation whales did not cause much damage to the fishing grounds.
It stands to reason that this navigation whale likes to live in deep-sea areas, such as the Qianliyan Trench, but it belongs to the fishing grounds, and 'Huzi' and her killer whale group are staring at it, and dare to come in and kill you。。。。。。 So they can only live on the periphery of the fishing ground and in the waters of Sidao Town, but fortunately, it is the development of marine aquaculture and whale watching industry in the past few years, and the fishery resources here are also very rich, especially the squid and the like, which are really too much, which are all very good food, and from time to time there are whale watching boats to put food, so these navigation whales can be regarded as finding paradise, and they will not leave here.
And the whale watching boat collision with the whale was the collision with the navigation whale. The whale pack was split by a whale watching boat, and the four navigation whales washed up on the beach, and by the time people found them, they had run aground and died.
There are countless theories as to why whales run aground, and there is no scientific explanation for why whales commit suicide because of illness, because they chase food, because they want to escape predators, and so on. The most reliable theory is that the whales have extremely poor eyesight, relying on their unique 'sonar' system to locate on the seabed, and rely on the perception of sound wave conduction to determine the direction. If the positioning system of the leader whale of the whale group is wrong, and the sonic system is confused, resulting in stranding, and the whale is a collective animal, the rest of the companions will go to the rescue, and then there will often be a large group of whales 'collective suicide'.
Now on the Internet, there are many people who link the whale stranding to environmental protection, saying that it is because there is too much marine debris that causes the whale to be stranded. It's not that it's wrong to pay attention to the marine environment, it's something that must be taken seriously, but this really has nothing to do with whale suicide!
More than 1,000 years ago, there were records of whales stranding en masse, and at that time people threw plastic into the sea?
But in any case, whale stranding is the most tragic way for whales to die.
Many people think that whales breathe with their lungs anyway, and when they come ashore, they will be fine if they push them back into the sea. In fact, this is not the case.
It is true that the whale breathes with its lungs, but it lives in the sea all year round, its skin has adapted to the temperature and humidity of the ocean, and it will soon die due to dry skin after going ashore;
This navigation whale is a small whale in the ocean, and it looks like a dolphin (to be precise, dolphins are also whales, like the famous killer whales, pseudo-killer whales, and navigation whales are all whales belonging to the dolphin family), but its weight is really not light! Adult navigation whales are about five meters long and weigh about two tons. If they really want to run aground, it is almost impossible to send them back to sea as soon as possible, and these navigation whales have been dead all night on shore due to the collision with the whale watching boat.
Then what happened was lively, and the people around saw that there were a few big guys rushing ashore, doing everything: some brought hacksaw kitchen knives from home to prepare to cut whale meat, some directly called trucks to prepare to pull them away, there were relevant scholars who came here to record the data, there were animal protection organizations to protect the four whales, and the aquarium heard the news and rushed to prepare to take away the specimens------- of course, at least a group of tourists who came to take pictures.
If it weren't for the young people under Wen Jie's command who first discovered these four navigation whales, these whales would not know what happened to them now------ they might have entered the people's dinner table long ago.
This is really not an exaggeration, when Xiao Peng was a child, there was also something like a dolphin stranding in Sidao Town, and if he saw it at that time, the first thing he did was to quickly go back to eat meat---- the taste of sea pork was very good.
But it's very risky to do it now. After all, all whales are protected animals above the second level of the state, and if you want to eat whales, you need to bear legal responsibility!
Moreover, it is still rare to see such a whale stranding in China, and all parties are eyeing the ownership of these four whales.
Xiao Peng took Yang Meng and Lao Pan directly to the place where the navigation whale was stranded, and there were people on the beach.
Do you just like to watch the excitement so much?
