A trapped mother and baby whale die in fishermen nets in Ecuador

This video shows a mother and a baby humpback whale trapped in fishermens nets in Puerto Lopez in Ecuador. You will notice a group of larger male humpback whales trying to break the mother and baby free. The video was filmed on a boat from the Machala National Parks for tourists that wanted to see the whales. The guides who work for the Ecuadorian National Parks and Ministry of Environment did not want to set the whales free because it would destroy the costly fishermens nets. The mother and baby whale died three days later.
