Death of a Bryde’s Whale: Wrong Time to Take a Selfie?
There’s a good time and a bad time to take a selfie. THIS... is a bad time. Do you agree?
Selfies have become an important and popular way for people to document experiences and events they were witness to or a part of.
However, like everything else, there is a good time and a bad time.. even for selfies.
Death, tragedy, emergencies. These are the moments when better sense ought to prevail. Even the death of a whale.
Late last night, a dead whale, roughly 40 feet long, washed up at Mumbai’s Juhu beach, drawing huge crowds.
Even as the authorities tried to tow away the creature, a lady found it appropriate to take a selfie with the dead whale in the background. Not in good taste, we feel.
But that’s just our take. Feel free to use the comments section below and tell us whether you agree or disagree.
