I didn't see a mention of PETA in the article. I might've attempted the same thing myself. The same as I would jump in a river or run into a burning house/barn to save my dog or horse or what not. Be a shame to stand there and watch the creature drown if you legitimately felt you could do something about it. I'll take a lesson from this fellow's predicament should the situation ever arise- don't get too close to the tail. Whale probably didn't even realize the guy was there or was panicked (as would we all be if we were busy drowning)...

My thoughts too, Prodigal. We don't know it was PETA - probably just a case of no good deed going unpunished.
