This really does sound so ungrateful, doesn't it?
A Japanese fisherman drowned on Tuesday after a whale he was trying to rescue capsized his small fishing boat, a coastguard official said.
Three fishermen tried to rescue the sperm whale, about 10-meter (yard) long, after it strayed into a bay off the southwestern island of Shikoku, about 800 km (500 miles) southwest of Tokyo.
But the panicked creature turned on them and struck the vessel, the coastguard official said.
A 58-year-old fisherman drowned while two other fishermen were rescued, he added.
What's that phrase? Ah, yes, no good deed ever goes unpunished.

Apropos nothing at all, while killer whales are cetaceans and thus are related to whales, the killer whale is in fact not a whale at all, but rather the largest of the dolphins: Flipper with an anger management problem, if you will.
