[Verity Chambers]

Has anyone else seen the footage?!?

 

[KayleeUK]

Yes...poor thing

 

[Verity Chambers]

Don't know if it's just my hormones, but it made me have a little weep.

 

[KayleeUK]

Lots of things make me weep at the moment too

I know, how sad. It must be terrified, and the experts they are having on Sky seem to be arguing about what to do

 

[Minniespal]

Very sad ~ Hope it is ok.

 

[Cyrano]

Heard this on the radio on the way home tonight.
Hope it does not get to stressed with all the attention.

 

[Ware Bears]

Oh how sad. I hope it will be alright.

I guess this happens more often than I thought.

Last year, a beluga whale swam up the Delaware River from the Atlantic Ocean in the US. I think they believed it finally exited, but there was a lot of cocern for it.

From the news reports this morning it looks as though the next few hours will be criticial for the whale.

Hope it makes it.

...... I think the experts who argue for non-interference, unless the whale beaches, are the most sensible. They don't really know why the whale is there, whether it is accidentally there or there because it is sick or dying and has come into shallow water to die or whatever. They are, after all, highly intelligent.

Everyone wants so much to help, and the hardest thing to do is to resist the temptation to take action, but perhaps the best thing is to keep a distance and make everyone else keep a distance so they don't add stress to the whale's predicament.

Hope the whale is ok!

 

[KayleeUK]

They are hoping to move it to open waters now.
