POPSFriendly Humpback Whales Near Farallon Islands On October 11, 2009, a dramatic event occurred on an Oceanic Society whale watching boat near the Farallon Islands, 25 miles west of San Francisco. The vessel Salty Lady came upon a group of humpback whales, which is not unusual as it had been sighting whales pretty much every whale watching weekend, However, on this trip, four humpback whales approached the boat and for over an hour circled the boat, nearly brushing up against it, and seemed to make contact with the 45 passengers on board. One even lifted its head out of the water with passengers reaching out to pet it. There is no doubt that these whales sought out human contact and some form of communication was taking place. Look for yourself.

POPS Lion Rides Horse In China Freak Show >>>>>INSANE SADISTIC FREAK SHOW<<<<< Here's yet another form of animal abuse in China - does this country's government have a department dedicated to inventing new and innovative ways of abusing animals?! Skinning cats alive in fur farms, feeding live cattle to lions in one zoo and now making a lion in another zoo (which seems to have had its teeth removed) ride a terrified horse. It defies belief. What's more unbelievable is how the International Olympic Committee can award the Olympics to a country with such an appauling human and animal rights record.
