Poor creature.

[Bobbisox1]

Just waiting to die, it’s horrible HereIam

[Patsy33]

Let's hope they can save it. So sad to see.

[Bobbisox1]

Apparently they can’t now it’s beached Patsy

[hereIam]

They very rarely are saved sadly. Look at the one in London recently.

[retrocop]

Alas it is sad. We, darn sarf, lost a Whale as well in the Thames estuary.
:-(

[Patsy33]

Oh no. Poor thing...

[Mamyalynne]

A sad situation indeed.

[pixie374]

Is there literally nothing that can be done? Can't imagine what though... :-(

[Bobbisox1]

No, nothing, it said they were waiting for it to die, it can no longer feed itself now

[pixie374]

How horrible...

[anotheoldgit]

Yes very sad indeed but to put things into perspective, there are a number of young human lives murdered on our streets on almost a daily basis.

[jim360]

Time and a place, AOG. This is neither.

[jno]

apparently the one in the Thames was hit by shipping

[THECORBYLOON]

Should we be looking out for further similar comments from ANOTHEOLDGIT, regardless of the subject?

[anotheoldgit]

It just seems that some wish not to show concern over a problem that we should all be showing concern over.
I often wonder why this is.

[Mamyalynne]

I think you'll find we all care very deeply about murders etc in the community but we are unlikely to bring those concerns up on a thread about a Whale.

[ummmm]

Are we only allowed to discuss murders now? Is all other news irrelevant?

[Barsel]

Sadly the Whale has died. It seems so sad that nothing can be done to help these magnificent creatures when they beach like this.

[Hopkirk]

It probably was ill which contributed to it getting beached.
