Why cant Colin the whale be saved?

Question

So the morons involved in making decisions about Colin have decided to murder him rather than try to save him because its too hard and they dont know how or what to feed him.Guess what,all the idiots needed to do was look it up on the net and would have found out Seaworld in America have done it and the formula is written up.Whats to make a bet they will want to cut him up for scientific purposes!

Answer 1

This goes against my ethics; I don't like the killing of infants, I'm okay if another animal kills it, but with people, no, so I'm with you on this man!!!

Answer 2

That was an American species of whale. It would simply have to eat McDonalds to get fat just like the rest of the whales over there.

Our Colin is an Antarctic whale. His mum eats krill from antarctica by the swimming pool full every day... to make that milk. The formula is different.

Nope. Perhaps we should just eat Colin... or sell him to the Japanese. His mother abandoned him here for a reason. When the autopsy is done, we will know more about it.

Answer 3

OK,

1st, the whale milk recipe they have is not for the kind of whale Colin is.  It's for Orcas.  A completely different fat/calorie content.

2nd, do you have any idea approximately how MUCH milk a baby whale needs a DAY?!?  Approx 200 gallons (and it's growing).

3rd. There is no conceivable way to get the whale to DRINK the milk, even if they could make it correctly

4th. Who is going to pay for these rescue attempts?  The cost of the milk mixture and some kind of containment facility for him would be very prohibitive.

5th, what do you do with a human tolerant adult whale if everything goes right and he gets to be adult sized?  It won't know how to hunt, where to go or what to do if he gets there.

The humane services have gone through all these questions, and have come up with what they think is the best solution to this problem.  The fact that it's so drastic is a reflection on exactly how dire Colin's situation truly is.  Let them do their jobs, they feel bad enough about it as it is.  

Answer 4

Sea world on the Gulf Coast said it should be put down also and a rescue could cost 1 to 2 million dollars.

Answer 5

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??
