Ningaloo Reef: Second woman injured by whale at Australia tourist hotspot

"The calf decided to come check us out and ended up being between us and the mum so mum went into protective mode and swung back," Ms Ramsay told Nine News Perth.Ms Ramsay was flown to the Royal Perth Hospital, where doctors said she had suffered relatively minor injuries and was expected to make a full recovery.

In a statement to Australia's Seven News network, it said it licenced commercial tours in the area, including"in-water interactions with humpback whales and whale sharks."

As if a wales gonna just hop out of the sea and attack people-

Leave them whales alone

maybe the leviathans are finally reacting to our acts of abuse we've been carrying out on these majestic mammals for centuries. we take so much and give back so little.

Officials said they were investigating the incident's 'Anybody seen a suspicious looking Whale, lives in the sea?

Should people want to see extraordinary mammals in their natural habitat, simply fly to Kansas and hang around a few McDonalds or Burger Kings.

Idiots need to leave the whales alone!!!

Here’s a thought... maybe done swim with whales. Asking for trouble.

Spoilt brats complaining about swimming with whales. 😕

Stay away from whales. Simple

Try dolphins for a good scare, give me sharks any day

They shouldn't be snorkling near them, it's the whales habitat, NOT the humans.

Brilliant! I hope she goes to prison for a long time.

Give Whales right of way your in there house

Perhaps leave the whales to swim in peace ?

Second ignorant woman swims to close to Whale.

You get too near a whale, chances are you're gonna get hurt. Tour ops responsibility to see that doesn't happen. If they can't manage the risk..they shouldn't be doing it.

The whale was just protecting its calf

Perhaps stop invading their habitat and stop annoying these whales might be an idea 🙄

Leave the whales alone!

To be fair Mrs Ramsey doesn’t seem too cut up about the whole situation. She accidentally got between the mother and calf and got a ‘small’ (😬) knock. Not exactly overly aggressive by the whale and taken well by the woman. At the end of the day, the group was in their world.

Leave the whales alone then.

No sympathy for her...and the tour company she was with are negligent as well, they have distancing rules for a reason to keep people and the whales safe, break those rules and you could be hurt.

Good! She should have left then alone

I wonder why? “she was approached by a humpback whale and its calf” Stop blaming the whales.

Maybe the whales are getting upset about all the waste that is being thrown into the sea, killing a lot of them, as well as other sea creatures. They are fighting back as they know how. Should they really get their dander up, those living in these kind of areas, watch out.

We hv letter int whole association and hungary connected New ausztral govern deputy lead country post this. We are shoulder half broken pair 35-53 know relation. Military grown and music like. Budapest, same hospital take away.

Maybe don’t let tourists get that close. Humans in the whales’ habitat get whatever the whales choose to do. A tail smack seems mild.

What rubbish!!! Will people not refrain from harassing mammals too? They are getting endengared only for human

Come on whales there are equal opportunities guidelines to adhere too or employ the dolphins PR agent as they can do no wrong

Second woman, eh? That's no fluke.

Stop fucking about in their natural habitat maybe 🤔

I’ll gift you with my advice for totally avoiding shark bites, whale bumps, etc.... Stay out of the water. It’s their world, leave them to it.

Just leave those animals alone

Maybe stop teasing these animals, no? P.S. HAVE A GOOD LAUGH WITH ME THIS WEEKEND. Watch me attempt to tell a storytime in 'BRITISH ACCENT'. It's pure comedy. Please leave a thumbs up and also subscribe when you're through, thanks. Here's THE LINK ↓

'Whale protects home from female Intruder'

Stay away from whales they don’t want none...

We’re 10 minutes in and nobody has replied that the tourist was having a whale of a time. The game’s gone

It’s where they live in their natural habitat. When whales start injuring people in Starbucks, that would be news.

Sept the revenge of the whales

Racist whales....will it ever end ?

Leave them alone in their home

LOCK YOUR DOORS THE WHALES ARE COMING FOR YOUR CHILDRENS!
