Baby Humpback Tangled in Gill net

[george]

@southforksalt captured this video of a small humpback whale fighting for its life after it became entangled in a gill net. Although not confirmed, I was told the whale was cut loose of the net by a whale rescue team.

Did you not see it Tweet it's cords and was in need of help?

I'm thinking that the "Nature Lover" who Tweeted it tried to make more of it than it really was, especially since the animal ended up freeing itself...
