I posted here in this blog about the Oslob Whale Sharks and how it boost the tourism industry in the town. I don't really know how the people responsible in this activity briefs the tourist that are going to see the whale sharks. All I know is that they have to conduct an orientation first on the dos and don'ts when it comes to handling whale sharks. And the most emphasized thought on the orientations is that never to touch the whale sharks.
I don't really know the reason why it is prohibited to touch whale sharks. I tried to search on the net but I can't find a reliable source. So lets just think that this rule is for the safety of the creatures. And we have to obey that because after all those creatures are living peacefully without the people around them.
But what is shocking is that not all the tourist are obeying this prohibition. See the images below that shows how some people interact with whale sharks which is not really a good example.
See the images above? How did this thing happen? Tour guides are suppose to prohibit the visitors in touching the whale sharks but the image which was taken just last March 31, 2011, the guides are the ones helping the visitors to touch the poor creatures.
What can you say about this guys? What should be the right thing to describe these people harassing the gentle giants?
