120+ whales beached in New Zealand in 48 hours

so the japs are just putting them out of their misery after all, i'm enlightened

It's just evolution at work. Our ancestors left the water millions upon millions of years ago and I expect quite a lot died in the process. I look forward to the first genuine photo of a whale walking down the street.

Whales left the sea along with hippos and then decided to go back to it, it seems they've changed their minds again...

Seriously though, it's pretty sad.

Its sad

Just a trip to the beach that ended in tragedy.

It’s a horrible and sad way to go.

He should be locked up and tried as a terrorist. I can' believe there program is put on tv glamorising it.

If that's the case, then so should the Japanese Whalers.

I don't see them throwing acid or intentionally blocking, ramming ships..

Japan should do what the French did and sink it like the rainbow warrior.

In other news...

All that sonar and sea noise pollution at work....

Yeah also another possible cause, this sort of thing seems really strange even though they say it can happen sometimes.

Yes, because acts of state sponsored terrorism are always the best way to deal with non-violent protests.

They took the boat and sank it for good reason, you can not block nuclear stuff. It becomes a risk. It is not sate terrorism.

why dont they stop him?

If he actually does anything to a fleet from spain/japan/iceland, as in the examples above, then technically he is a pirate and thus should be fired upon

he saved ~350 whales or something last year by doing what he does...

all to him, legend. japanese deserve it for claiming such mass slaughter is for 'science' etc blah blah.

 

[Glaucus]

.

and millions of Cod got killed last year.

whales are no longer endangered, whaling should be legalised and restricted. Why are they any different to any other animal/fish.
Yet he's not stopping fishing which is seriously damaging Cod and other fish populations.

He is an emotional wreck of a **** and the only reason he is getting away with it is due to doing it in international waters, against a tiny industry. If he was doing it against normal fishing or cargo boats, the reaction would be very different.

Maybe they're being driven insane by man-made sonar, etc!

Yup, money is on some new form of underwater sonar system, or a sub testing some underwater weapon system.

 

[rossw]

Same tyhing happened here earlier where 50 Pilot whales died. Real strange it is
