Fucking ignorant assuming Americans, seriously. Every single #WhaleWatch post with humpbacks is 'wahhh get the barnacles off them! So ugly how terrible for them!'

No it's not. Literally 2 mins with a search and you can learn this. Why are people so stuck on their zero expertise?

I'm on a #WhaleWatch today, kind of - we're keeping an eye on a developing story on #CapeCod, in #Eastham. That's where five pilot whales stranded themselves at Sunken Meadow Beach; another whale, a baby, died.

The International Fund for Animal Welfare is on the scene, helping to get these animals back in the water. High tide is in right now, and at last check, the whales were all in the water, but IFAW's working to get them swimming again. 📸: IFAW
