Answer 1

researchers do not believe the whales are intending to commit suicide. It is beginning to appear they either get disoriented which could be caused by (a) or (b) or they are attempting to escape something in the water that is causing them distress. Whenever whales are helped back into the water they don't rebeach themselves in the majority of cases which tends to dispel the "suicide" mentality.

Answer 2

Whales Commit Suicide

I believe they do commit suicide. Some scientists said because of polution, some said because when one gets sick it fears the idea of disease spread. Some said depression. I believe that animals got a lot in their minds which we will never discover. They are so peaceful and silent.

Answer 5

Only whales know -- humans are still trying to figure it out. It could be any of the above reasons.
