Drew Posted August 22, 2008 Report Posted August 22, 2008 Apparently they found its mother someplace else; dead by shark injuries.
emmasi Posted August 22, 2008 Report Posted August 22, 2008 Finally, sane people. I was getting worried that I was the only one... I also find it funny how these people will jump at the chance to fork out however much money it costs to put a whale down, but the RSPCA wouldn't get that kind of funding to put - what, 30 animals? - down due to horrific human neglect and abuse. It's just bizarre how people can get fixated on something like this, when much worse things are happening to other animals and people every day. At the end of the day, this was a wild animal - it should have been left to live or die on it's own. People need to stop playing god with nature. I'm not sure how a euthenasia injection works, but I think it's some sort of poison, so I'm wondering what's to be done with a poisoned whale carcass? Is it any good to eat for other animals or will they just get poisoned too? Hopefully they wouldn't be that stupid, but then this is the country that spread rat poison from one end of the country to the other and then wondered why the native carnivores (not to mention the herbivores that ate the pellets) were dying Idiots... EDIT: Glad to hear that the mother was done in by sharks - goes to prove my point, nature does what it does. People should just but out and let it be. You can't save every whale because they're nice to look at, and you can't hate the sharks for killing the pretty things... It doesn't work that way. Although, how shocked will I be if a bunch of yahoos use this as an excuse to go shark hunting? Not very
bay girl Posted August 22, 2008 Report Posted August 22, 2008 Looks like Colin was actually Collette. LOL. I heard that on the news tonight. But its Colleen, not Collette. HAHA.
KaitieL Posted August 22, 2008 Report Posted August 22, 2008 WTF???!!! They're going to set up a memorial for the bloody thing now. It was a whale that was abandoned by its mother and was put down. Why the **** do we need a memorial for it. Geez what is wrong with people. What about spending the money on something the state needs.

This is literally beyond a joke.
KaitieL Posted August 22, 2008 Report Posted August 22, 2008 Unless I'm going crazy and misheard but I'm sure they said on the news update that they might set up a memorial for it. Seriously, who would visit that? Look kiddies, here's a memorial for a baby whale that was abandoned and then we had to kill it. Mourn the baby whale kiddies - this is where money that could have been spent on your education went.
Drew Posted August 22, 2008 Report Posted August 22, 2008 OK, yeah, now this is beyond joke... It's getting to the point where I'm laughing at the whole situation rather then feeing sad for the poor thing.
damorules94 Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 it was so funny watching the news last week they had 10 mins on the whale, 10 mins on the olympics and then the weather pretty much its like nothing else was important
emmasi Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 At least we got one mention of the shark trade, but apparently thousands of sharks being over fished and gruesomely mutilated for the purposes of "delicacy" isn't as compelling as the plight of one cuwt wittle whale cawf. Why, I bet those nasty sharks deserve everything they get after daring to hurt the pwessus wittle baby! Mean old sharks Nature's oldest predator, and we'll be the ones to wipe them out because they just don't know how to sing.
