Did You Hear That They Are going To Euthenate The Baby Whale at Pittwater?

Question

Despite the fact that the man from the marine park in San Diego who raised the orphaned baby grey whale said on Channel 9 News this evening that he was willing to advise and share his knowledge with anyone who wanted to try feeding the baby humpback.

No one wanted to try. Well no one with the power to actually do it. Plenty of people had turned up at Pittwater. One doctor had a recipe for a replacement formula which even Parks and Wildlife said had all the essential nutrients for a young whale.

Perhaps feeding would not have worked and the humpback baby would have died anyway. But we would have learned something that would help us be more successful next time. And next time. And next time.

We did not even try because a large number of "experts" assured us it was not possible. Well one man tried it once and it worked for him.

I thought it was a great Australian value to "have a go, mate."

Why did we not "have a go?"

Answer 1

another case of overpaid jerks,they would rather murder Colin than try to save him,the info was on the net so they could of started feeding him 5 days ago instead of waiting for him to become weak,i suppose they feel justified killing him because he has become weak(their fault).there are many people in the area that would have volunteered their time,others shared their expertise.We didnt have a go cause we are ran by pen-pushing wankers!

Answer 2

I think its very sad I really do.

But seaworld..it wouldnt have the room..orcas are not even half the size of what a humpback can get too!

I know theyre trying everything they can,

and yea where PETA in all this?

Answer 3

Your Answer:

They will, it's cheaper for those IDIOTS, to destroy this poor creature than try to save it and relocate him to a facility like seaworld. Man It makes me upset hearing things like that, Man I'm not a tree hugger or anything but wanton disregard for life is NOT ACCEPTABLE. either human or animal.

Michael...

PS.. WOuld they do the same if it was an endangered whale species?? also why arent the animals rights group making a huge fuzz about this??

Answer 4

It is so sad - I wonder what happened to the Whale's mother - they don't usually let them out of their sight.  

It took 4 days for someone to come down from Sea World on the Gold Coast - they should have come down straight away - poor thing was getting weaker and weaker.

They still should have tried to help the baby whale.

Everything in this world is just too hard!
