That would be the whale taking its place and feeding the sharks, just as nature intends for weak and dying animals to do...

I love that phrase! "Manufactured outrage" is EXACTLY what I would call this. People are always looking for something to be mad about, and it's really getting old. Every one of us, in every situation, has the opportunity to CHOOSE whether or not we want to be angry, so many people always want to be angry. It's so much nicer to not be angry all the time.

I did not get the guys taking chunks out of the whale for feeding themselves.
This guys are persons, morons, not great whites or orcas.
A sick whale not sensing someone on top of it ( it is not the weight that has an impact, but the stress of an unknown risk, to the whale ) is bs, imho.
You could say that a diseased working elephant, perhaps suffering and with fevre, would not mind his rider on top, because the rider has no noticeable weight??
Not at all. But the public's reaction on this ridiculous, especially when claims like this are made:
Of course people tend to over react because people are angry and frustrated and everything, with, or without reason, is grounds for venting.
With that as a fact, and, again, my outrage at this situation only takes me to call those guys morons, not deserving of public execution, clearly that this was bad judgement on yheir part.
Anyone who is the slightes bit aware of animal knows that stress is a major factor in diminishing their abikity to survive diease.
And that was my point.
Arguments about weight and the whale sensing them or comparisons of birds on one's shoulders, or the situation being equal to the whale eing torn to chunks by white sharks are tottally beside the point, imho, and show some lack of knowledge of animal psichology, to say the least.

Whether it's something eating an available food source, or the curious exploring an abnormality, nature does not care. It makes no difference to the dying animal. Of course, nature does not care either had the whale turn on the swimmers and killed them. No it is not advisable to mess with animals behaving oddly, but this is not fury inducing worthy.
Also, the comparison between a riding elephant is a bad one. The whale was not domesticated and no human was responsible for its well being. It is not abusing an ill live stock. It is hubris on the part of the scientists to think had they been advised sooner, they could have saved this animal...and as such, it is not up to them to determine the whale should live or not; if they really want to stick to the non interference creed.
