Rescuers lose fight to save beached whale

Dan Jarvis from BDMLR said they were called to the beach at about 13:30 GMT.

He said:"When we first got here the animal was opening its mouth wide and beating its tail against the rocks and it sounded like thunder."He said the whale was"in poor nutritional condition" - suggesting it was already in poor health before beaching.Steve Green, from Clean Ocean Sailing, said the whale had been swimming alongside their boat at Helston in the morning and was found stranded on the beach at about noon.

"I was really hoping we could get some help. Twenty people have turned up and I was hoping at high tide we could help her back out," he said.BDMLR states on its website that whales do not beach themselves under normal circumstances.

I think it very likely, that every large sea creature, that ever ate a jelly fish, is now swimming around with a gut full of plastic and dying of hunger and dehydration. We have already driven them to extinction, we just don't know it yet. Planet earth has cancer, and it's us!

has there ever been a case of a whale or dolphin being saved in the UK? akways seems to end the same

that poor whale was clearly very ill / malnourished - as the article says when will we stop trying to refloat all beached whales - even when they are very obviously ill ? sometimes it is better to put down an animal to reduce suffering

Ooo that’s gonna make a right old mess when it blows.

Duke of Cornwall owns right to royal fish in Cornwall...also has the right to foreshore. So he is responsible for the removal of the whale....let's see who actually pays.

Will autopsy reveal plastic in the digestive system? Keep us informed?

How do you dispose of a 40 tonne dead whale, do they drag it out to sea or bury/burn it? 🤔

Has any beached whale ever actually been rescued?

Maybe whales get dementia.

😢

So sad to lose such an enormous beautiful creature, sorry for all those that tried to help 😢

When a human walks into the Ocean you do not see whales pushing them back in.

Creo que entiendo.
