Isn't this another warning from mother nature?

Question

DAKAR, Senegal - The bodies of at least 38 whales have washed up on a Dakar beach and wildlife officials say as many as 100 swam up close to the shore.

Villagers living nearby said the whales were spotted late Tuesday night, veering closer and closer to the coast as the tide came in. By Wednesday morning many were beached.

Technicians with the World Wildlife Fund, an environmental organization, said they had counted at least 38 carcasses — most larger than an adult man — strewn across a long stretch of sand.

By afternoon, as many as 60 whales had returned to the ocean. It was not immediately known what type of whales they were, but World Wildlife Fund employee Ibrahim Mat Dia said their size and coloring indicated they were either pilot whales or melon-headed whales...

It's great that the locals took initiative, however it is truly sad that the govt is so indifferent. Where is Haïdar El Ali when we need him

Answer 1

Whales have beached themselves for centuries. Though, I would say that there is a lot of other evidence that Mother Nature is pissed as all h**l (global warming, bigger hurricanes, shifts in the worlds various ecosystems, ect.).

Answer 2

NO,  NOT FROM NATURE==ITS EXPECTED, WITH SO MUCH WATER THE WHALES CANT FIND FOOD, TO MUCH ROOM FOR THEIR FOOD TO HIDE IN. ANSWER FOR WHALES, FISHERMEN ETC. 4 COUNTRIES=RUN CHANNELS FROM ONE END OF COUNTRY TO THE OTHER END 60 FEET WIDE 100 FEET DEEP BUT PUT NETS IN FRONT OF OPENINGS SO NO LARGE MAMMALS ENTER ONLY SEAWATER. THIS WILL LOWER THE OCEANS FASTER SO THE WHALES THAT ARE LEFT WILL FIND FOOD,  USA HAS LARGE EARTH MOVERS FOR FAST WORK, DO 10 MILES AT A TIME IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT AND IN EACH CHANNEL PUT A CALDASAK ABOUT 100 YARDS BY 100 YARDS FOR A FRESH WATER CATCH EVERY 5 MILES, ONE ON EACH SIDE. IF [e-mail]  CAN HELP LET ME KNOW. THIS WILL ALLOW EACH COUNTRY FRESH WATER FOR 100 YEARS IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.

Answer 3

Whales are basicaly like us, nosey! we should leave items of interest floating far out at sea to keep them amused! a picture of the two ronnies perhaps

Answer 4

Since humans don't need to sail the seas, or farm the soil, hunt, barter for survival, many natural events that were observed by humans for ever are now thought of as weird or abnormal.

Also, fear sells many books, papers, magazines, videos and creates a market for ignorance.

As informed as we are in this modern era, superstitions, tarot cards, astrology, witch doctors, and many other forms of foretelling the future or forecasting horrible events are still with us.

Answer 5

Whales often beach themselves.  The reason is unknown.  It's not a warming from nature other than warning us that whales are stupid.
