i rhibk i remebred that one image

As much as it is 'fun' to go and explore and experience nature, this activity disrupts their daily routines. Lets step back and let these majestic animals live in peace, and let the professional documenters 'bring' them to us.

i can see the positives and the negatives of both these activities! it all depends on the what, who and where! Either way humans think they are safe which they are not!

This is flyfishing at work.

Agreed I think it is also important to note that these are wild animals. They are also very dangerous in many circumstances. Maintaining the proper space between these majestic creatures is not only respectful, its necessary to ensure the health and safety of all parties involved

This should not be allowed as tourism

Yes it doesn't help the animals at all with so many people around them, they can't hunt, for one and you people are stressing them.

YES! It’s HOW THEY SUBSIDIZE THEIR PARKS. HELLO!

Why is it that, is a tourist attraction?
