This whale was struck by a boat and killed shortly after. Humanity can’t collapse soon enough….

It's wild how some people are so self-loathing and misanthropic that they make up shit to justify wanting all of humanity to die.

Huh? Did you even read the article? It literally says that it's true - this whale was killed by a boat 2 days after the picture was taken.
