seriously,is this something to really be concerned about,beached whales and dolphins?

Question

it there a reason(s) for the beached whales and dolphins,why not leave them on the beach, to die or not, is "trying to save them" or "saving them" interfearing with nature"s course

Answer 1

Whales beaching themselves is certainly not on the top ten list of environmental problems. People save them for two reasons: (1) they get to feel good about helping a fellow creature, and (2) nobody wants a 10,000 pound carcass rotting on their beach over a period of several months.

Answer 2

Many of the beached whales and dolphins are there because of humans! Our trash gets into the oceans and the animals think some of it is food so they eat it. So many times the marine mammals vets pull our trash crap out of the digestive tracts of these poor creatures. It's not their fault that they think a plastic grocery bag looks like a jellyfish! We need to care about other species besides ourselves. I don't know about you but I don't want to live in a world devoid of a variety of wonderful wild creatures!

Answer 3

I don't know the reason why whales and dolphins beach themselves, But why dont we save them? If saving them this way is called 'interfering with nature'. Then all the doctors and nurses and scientists in the world are sinners. After all, they are indeed interfering with nature when they save human life.

Answer 4

they beach themselves because their usual hunting grounds off the continental shelves are now very overfished. they are scared away from there, and they travel even from the atlantic to the pacific in search of food and mating grounds.

one of the favored foods of a whale is squid. now we have just discovered that not only do giant squid exist, but that one exists near antactica that is called "colassal squid." the female is about 2-3X larger than the male and often eats the male.

male whales--called bulls--are very large and have to eat more than do females. they travel to antarctica and go on deep dives under the shelves of ice to find food. what they do when hunting squid, which really puts up a painful defense against being devoured, is lie on the surface holding in breath for about 10 minutes. that is so that oxygen gets stored into their veins. it must be, because squid live very, very deep in the ocean and the whales have to dive very far down to catch them in their mouths.
when they attempt to eat them, the squid is such a formidable enemy because its tentacles have what sort of look like fingernails, but which are curved inwards and very, very pointed. they tear at the flesh of the whale, putting up quite a fight. the way the whale eats it, eventually, after fighting it for a long time, is to get it into its throat and push it into its stomach, where the muscular contractions will kill the animal, and then it can be digested.

rather than trying to save beached whales and dolphins, i have seen where a dead whale can be shot repeatedly, then forced to the sea floor. the carcass provides food for the many deep sea creatures that we hardly know anything about for years. this is what we should do with these creatures since they are ready to die anyways: once they die, bring them down to the sea floor so that we can then study the other animals that benefit from their flesh.

i never heard of excavations whereby whale or dolphin bones were found. therefore, i wonder if them beaching themselves is more of a modern phenonomen. people put water on them and touch them to make them feel better and to try to get them to go back to the sea, but it is pointless. but having a stinking whale carcass on your beach where you swim sure would stink to high heaven!

because we as people help all of gods creatures
