Default Tasmania... Last rescued whale joins pod.
I know this forum is about pets, but I have this deep love for whales so I hope you don't mind my posting this here. I shouldn't ask, as I know it's ok.

From Tasmania, Australia...

"The whale was seen to swim toward a group of whales in the area, several of which had been tagged by rescuers two days earlier," he said. Volunteers and rescuers saved 54 pilot whales and five bottlenose dolphins, while 116 whales and two dolphins died in the mass stranding on Naracoopa Beach.

Mr Arthur said it was "one of the largest successful whale rescues in the state's history".

Oh my goodness, thank you. I so much would like to live right next to the ocean. If i were there, most likely I'd be right in there volunteering to save whatever needed to be saved, LOL!

It's incredible what these people do for our sea creatures.

Thanks for sharing that story Lara.

Being in Tasmania, it was in our newspapers and on our TV, and it was so good to see that last whale swim away. I also just love the dolphins and it was good to see so many of them saved as well.

For such a small community, the residents and visitors did a wonderful job of saving them all.

I actually thought of you when I was following the rescue. Hey Koala, we're in for some seriously bad weather up here. *fear If it's not one thing it's another, hey.

Save the Whales!!!
