Do Whales Eat People?

Recently, a Facebook thread shared the attached picture, which generated discussion regarding the fear of being around such immense creatures, and what harm they might do to the average you-and-me kinda Joe. It was suggested that mankind not need to fear these behemoths of the deep, because they do not view us as a food source. Au contraire mon frère!

The ignorance of the comments within the post, most notably, “I think whales only eat people in make believe stories like Pinocchio or the Bible”, shows a complete lack of knowledge, and a gullibility to accept one man’s common sense over scientific proof captured on film. I warn you: The footage contained in this actual, real-live evidence is not for the faint of heart.

You have been warned.
