Report: 145 pilot whales die after being stranded in New Zealand

in #dlike5 years ago

I want to share with you a sad news that took place this weekend, because an estimated 145 pilot whales died after being stranded in New Zealand on Steward Island (Rakiura), the sad news was announced by the authorities last Saturday at night, when they announced that after an alert received the authorities moved to the place where they found that two groups separated by two kilometers between themselves, were stranded on the island.

And unfortunately when half of the whales arrived they were dead, while the rest was sacrificed due to the difficulty to access the site and refloat them, explained the operations manager in Rakiura of the Ministry of Conservation of New Zealand, Ren Leppens. The most humane thing was to sacrifice them because they did not have enough help to return them to the sea and to let them suffer was an evil.
