Guest guest Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 PRIYA BHAGAVAT BANDUVULLARA! It is generally considered that the Cruel Animals shall only kill to satisfy their hunger. But here is a story which happened in Faralon Islands, which goes to show to be Grateful is not the sole property of Humans and the Almighty has shown his abundant mercy everywhere even in a Killer Whale. Just read. The Whale A female humpback whale had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps & lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth. A fisherman spotted her just east of the Faralon Islands (outside the Golden Gate) & radioed for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived & determined that she was so bad off, the only way to save her was to dive in & untangle her; a very dangerous proposition. One slap of the tail could kill a rescuer. They worked for hours with curved knives & eventually freed her. When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, nudged them, & pushed gently, thanking them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives. The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth says her eye was following him the whole time, & he will never be the same. May you, & all those you love, be fortunate to be surrounded by people who will help you get untangled from the things that are binding you. And, may you always know the joy of giving and receiving gratitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
