Watch a Desperate Whale Get Assistance From a Boater [VIDEO]

I recently met Steve-O of Jackass fame and I was impressed about his animal rights passion. If you're like me and like a story of an animal being rescued, this one is for you. This Australian fisherman saw a whale in distress swim right up to his boat and it was clear that the animal was having difficulties. Watch the video and see what this humanitarian did.

I was shocked to see that the whale was covered in plastic bags and other garbage. He reached out, and took some of the bags off the beautiful animal helping it out tremendously. Great job.
