Hi David,
We get a lot of whale strandings in NZ & people do
there darndest
to refloat them. There is conjecture that their navigation
system is confused
by man made interference. But I guess they've been
stranding since Jonahs
days. I guess this biblical account of a whale stranding
also was an account
of histories first personal submersible.

To all:
I read this morning
where a beached whale in Copenhagen is being allowed to die of natural causes.
In that no man made causes to this animal's demise could be identified, I
applaud this decision. It is sad whenever any living creature's life is cut
short from such tragic circumstances, but dying is a part of life as
well.
The case is different in the Gulf of
Mexico whereby animals are suffering as a result of human interference. Humans
in this instance should step in to aid if at all possible the effected wild
life this man made oil spill has touched. We should also humanely euthanize
animals who's suffering would do no more than cause undo suffering when death
is immanent and unavoidable.
I chuckle when I
see the sign at our local State park that reads: "Chickasaw Forest and
wildlife management area"...the best management we humans could do for this
wildlife is simply leave it
alone.
