157 Whales Stranded on Tasmania's Shore
The Department of Natural Resources and Environment in Australia reported finding 157 pilot whales stranded on a beach in northwest Tasmania. Efforts to rescue the whales began 24 to 48 hours after they beached, but conditions were deemed unsuitable for a successful rescue operation due to limited access for machinery and equipment. Officials stated that euthanasia will be carried out to prevent further suffering of the surviving whales, estimated to be around 90 individuals.
