The Whale Has Died

How sad, eh?

 

[WILDER]

Or bless him, the stress probably was to much for him. R.I.P.

They do this every time, they chase the poor animal up and down the river in speed boats to try and drive them back to the sea and all they suceed in doing is stressing the animal to death, ive seen the same thing happen to a seal and the dolphin that came up a few years ago.

Why can't they wait til it's beached itself then 'rescue' it?

 

[demonmagus]

thats pretty bad

and am I right in saying that all wales are endangered?

i dont think so. i doubt all of them are but im sure many are

 

[leggsbrazos]

rescue went bad. I hope the rest went back to sea

 

[prankster705]

Many are endangered but not all. It must be very stresfull for the whale to be chased by boats.

it was good to see some like that while it lasted but sad to see them die

I dont live in London but i know that the river had been biologically dead for some time untill recently when it had been cleaned up. What was the purpose of driveing the whale out? Would it not have been cool to actually have somthing living there for a change? I know the animal rights people are going to go balistic

It wasn't even a big whale

that sucks.i hope the "rescuers" have horrible nightmares in the night that make them crap themselves.

Poor little thing...

I feel more sorry for the family waiting for him at Southend. I love Whales, I've been on 3 Whale watching holidays and have done loads of research on them - there by far my favourite animals - I've even swam with them Australia! Lucky me!

Anyway, whenever a Whale gets stranded or lost the family will wait for them (In this case, his mother is at Southend) - They will wait for ages until they return - but alas, he will not return.

Very very sad.
