Video shows boat running into southern right whale in Raglan


Recommended Posts

The sight of a boat running into a whale off Raglan's coast has been called “disgusting” by a whale researcher.

Two southern right whales, a mother and its calf, were seen moving past Manu Bay and near Ngarunui Beach on Saturday afternoon.

Stuff has seen two videos of the incident. In the first, the fishing boat approaches very close to one of the surfacing whales.

Then rather than turn away from the whale, the boat runs into it.
