It's the first time since 1966. What should we glean from this development? Tremendous, tremendous, species. We must protect them at all costs. They're steadily coming back despite evil humans.
Is this a hunting invite?

Our behavior towards these gentle and majestic giants has been completely despicable Pakuni. It's an enormous stain on the human race.
Ill get my harpoons ready. Got a few to loan to fellow hunters

We killed 90% of their population and this is your response? We're a terrible, terrible, species. There's no such thing as a mean or evil blue whale. We humans should all take a moment and actually think about this fact. We could learn a great deal fron their dignity and class.

Those dumb blobs can essentially just teach us how to lazily wade in water all day

This is literally one of the most ridiculous comments I've ever read. Perhaps someone should drop you in the middle of the Pacific Ocean so you.can "lazily wade in the water". You would last 10 mins tops.

Alright right after we drop a big ass whale in Central Park and see how he does.

I'm not sure many krill would agree.

Krill are plentiful and this is part of the food chain. But they do take out quite a few and rather emphatically.

Why the fk would a Blue Whale want to be in Central Park when they can patrol the vast Oceans? You disparaged them and called them lazy. That's just not right.

They are. Not very diverse in their abilities either.

How the fk do you know? The hubris of our race is astounding. Do you understand how whales communicate? Or what they discuss with each other? Or how they navigate the seas? They have all sorts of abilities beyond our myopic view of the world. You do realize that they have extremely complex brains and know all sorts of things we have no fking clue about?

And let's not act like a total imbecile and disparage these majestic marine mammals for zero reason.
They just need to shut up and dribble.

It's called evolution, Muggsy. Humans have evolved into being able to create boats and WMD's (Weapons of marine destruction).
Who would win in a fight? The craftiness of the manatee, or the brute strength of the blue whale?

Looks like Muggs cracked open the good stuff last night
He sells Seychelles down by the seashore.
Everything is coming up Seychelles and blue whales.

We should glean that it's a good thing for blue whales that Kristi Noem isn't anywhere near the Seychelles.

They should also stay away from the Jersey Shore. It's becoming a whale graveyard.

Kristi Noem is a disgrace. Say goodbye to whatever aspirations she might have had. Inexcusable.

Blue Whales are pacifists real c. They have no interest in hurting anyone. But experts say they can lift about 14,000 pounds. If I reincarnate into one I would conceivably take out a few boats with assheads for shts and grins.

Sounds to me like you would need to be instantly put down.
Nothing a Harpoon or nice oil leak wouldnt fix.

Umm whale hunting is human nature
Muggsy, you are passionate about protecting animals. I actually applaud that, even though I do sometimes kid about bbq-ing them.
My question, are you equally as concerned about our wholesale destruction of the environment that is having a far far larger impact on the fate of many of these species?

Excellent news that Blue Whales are thriving again. There is a film about their return to The Seychelles
