Default Bye Colin!

So Long, Colin, so sad to see you go.......
whale steaks anyone?

I cant believe the media hype and general hoopla about this. If it had been a lost dog, it wouldnt have rated anywhere.

Thats bullshit.
A lost whale calf which had spent days trying to suckle from boats off Sydney's northern beaches has been put down.

The whale, affectionately dubbed 'Colin' by locals, was first spotted on Sunday afternoon nuzzling up to a boat it thought was its mother.

After the decision was made yesterday to put him down, Colin went missing, but was eventually found this morning.

Veterinary experts say the decision was made to euthanase Colin because of serious injuries sustained from previous shark attacks, including breathing difficulties and hanging flukes.

There are soooo many things wrong with this story.
main one being the human race playing god.
Soon we will be sending a team of divers to put down seals after there arse has been bitten off by a shark so they wont die in pain.
Soon the sharks will start to eat them....(divers)

Its probably got something wrong with it and has been abandoned to die. Whales normally dote on their offspring if healthy.

Just another case of natures ..... survival of the fittest .... to guarrantee quality evolution.

Or

Any of those japanese " scientific research " ships in the area ?????
