It was a mass slaughter of dolphins. 39 pilot whales, also called pilot whales, sadly died after being stranded on a New Zealand beach. The authorities went to great lengths to save them, but failed.
The impotence of men has resulted in a difficult choice, that ofeuthanasia for the 27 individuals who had survived the stranding, while 12 had been struck by natural death. This is the umpteenth episode of stranding that, punctually, every year, occurs on the coasts of New Zealand against these splendid cetaceans of 6 or 7 meters in length in adulthood.
"We have carefully considered every possibility to free them and return them safely to the sea, but our staff, who have extensive experience dealing with mass stranding, determined that, due to various factors, it was unlikely that they could be rescued, "he explains in a communique of the Department of Conservation, the manager John Mason.
The dolphins were stranded about 5km from the Farewell Spit base in the night between Sunday and Monday. They came so close to the beach during a large tide that, once it receded, it paid off impossible for them to return to deep enough waters to free yourself and resume the road to the open sea.
“Even strong strong winds would have hindered any attempt to free them. Twelve of the dolphins died and, rather than prolong the suffering for the remaining 27, we decided to practice euthanasia, ”concludes Mason reluctantly.
