The baby whale I mentioned the other day is now being considered for being put down. A local vet in Australian believes this would be the only humane thing to do since the mother has yet to find her baby and he/she continues to grow weaker and thinner.

The whale had grown increasingly skinny and hadn’t ate in five days. Keep in mind this is the same baby whale that adopted the yacht as its mom, since mom (the boat) couldn’t nurse him there was no food going to him and he wouldn’t eat anything thrown into the waters.
