Environment Mass stranding: All whales found dead

[The Helper]

There are no survivors from the latest mass whale stranding on Tasmania's west coast.

Authorities were alerted to the stranding of between 80 and 100 long-finned pilot whales on a rocky stretch of Sandy Cape yesterday.

A parks and wildlife team sent to investigate by helicopter yesterday found around 12 survivors, but most of them were already badly injured by the rocky shoreline.

A larger rescue team arrived at the remote beach this morning by four-wheel-drive to find all the whales dead.

Nothing new, whales tend to do that all over the world, we should investigate why they do it in the first place.

Usually whales get stranded from feeding. The herd the schools of fish into shallow water for an easier catch. This truly sadens me, I would be crying if I was part of the rescue team.:thdown:
