点评:Unethical experience - the Whale Sharks are unnaturally fed to keep them in Oslob for tourists to swim with. This feeding interrupts the local eco system and the Whale Sharks' natural behaviors including migration, and reproduction. WWF has issued a statement on this asking people to avoid this activity in Oslob.
The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) believes people should respect the nature of whale sharks, being highly migratory animals which should not be trained to stay in one place. By feeding them, people are modifying their natural behavior which might severely affect the way they live and reproduce. [Taken from WWF website]
Please also consider avoiding any tour agencies, hotels, or resorts that offer this trip to tourists.
This includes avoiding Magic Island Dive Resort, Moalboal and Magic Oceans Resort, Bohol.
翻译:不道德的体验——为了让游客与鲸鲨共游,人们会强迫鲸鲨在奥斯洛布停留,并对其进行非自然的喂食。这种喂食行为破坏了当地的生态系统,也干扰了鲸鲨的自然行为,包括迁徙和繁殖。世界自然基金会(WWF)已就此发表声明,呼吁人们避免在奥斯洛布参与此类活动。
世界自然基金会(WWF)认为,人们应该尊重鲸鲨的自然习性,它们是高度迁徙的动物,不应该被训练停留在同一个地方。通过喂食,人们改变了它们的自然行为,这可能会严重影响它们的生存和繁殖。[摘自WWF网站]
此外,请尽量避免选择任何向游客提供此类行程的旅行社、酒店或度假村。
这包括避开莫阿尔博阿尔的Magic Island Dive Resort和薄荷岛的Magic Oceans Resort。
