Now you are trolling.What if they were catching the octopus to remove a fishing hook and line which was stuck in it?
Not at all!Now you are trolling.
I think your point is valid for situations that are not black/white. I stated the same early in the thread. However in my understanding there are black/white situations with no wiggleroom. Many such cases in this thread. And its what my initial question is about.Not at all!
I presented a perfectly valid situation where the other people misunderstood what happening to illustrate that it isn't always obvious what is happening!
Is it a local thing or is it the tourists?My advice: if you don’t like seeing people touch/harass the wildlife, don’t dive in Japan.
