Sadly forty-four false killer whales had to be shot after rough seas and bad weather prevented rescue teams from successfully returning them to deep water. Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma and the South African department of Home Affairs is allegedly claiming this as a win in measures to prevent illegal immigration of criminal elements into the country.
On a more serious note, if you would like to volunteer, donate or contribute to the welfare of these and other lovely creatures please go to International Fund for Animal Welfare.

It is really very sad that such beautiful animals had to be killed 🙁
It is really sad yes… and then they blame the public for the condition of the wales and bcoz they had to put them out ! Atleast they tried to help and do something.. !
Agree with Majols – can’t help feeling that mankind (that’s us by the way – all of us – “For evil to flourish, all that is required is that good men [and women] do nothing!”).
As their death was inevitable, the euthenasia was probably the best and kindest thing to have happened, but … what if we (mankind) hadn’t driven them out of the sea in the first place?
North Korea … maybe? Undersea cable with micro waves & optic fibre … maybe? Oil rigs with constant GPS positioning systems … maybe?
I wonder how many more will have to die before my broadband is finally up to superspeed?
Very sad, but what can we do?
