477 whales die in ‘heartbreaking’ New Zealand strandings

Associated Press  

WELLINGTON, New Zealand — Some 477 pilot whales have died after stranding themselves on two remote New Zealand beaches over recent days, officials say. The whales beached themselves on the Chatham Islands, which are home to about 600 people and located about 800 kilometers east of New Zealand’s main islands. “Although they are natural occurrences, they are still sad and difficult for those helping.” Grover said the remote location and presence of sharks in the surrounding waters meant they couldn’t mobilize volunteers to try to refloat the whales as they have in past stranding events. “We do not actively refloat whales on the Chatham Islands due to the risk of shark attack to humans and the whales themselves, so euthanasia was the kindest option,” said Dave Lundquist, a technical marine advisor for the conservation department.
