Australian authorities are euthanising about 90 false killer whales which survived a mass stranding on a remote beach in Tasmania.
A team of experts at the site said complex conditions have made it impossible to save them.
They are part of a pod of 157 whales that had beached near Arthur River, in the island’s north west. The rest had died shortly after the stranding.
Tasmania has seen a series of mass whale strandings in recent years – including the country’s worst-ever in 2020 – but false killer whales haven’t mass stranded there in over 50 years.

YouTube is a piece of sh!t!
Video says dolphins , description title says whales ????? Dont BBC know the difference ???
Probably sick of all the plastics and other trash in the sea and sick of swallowing it daily
Not a very creative response to that situation.
Get a team together & drag them back to the ocean ffs🙄🤬
What’s wrong with people these days!’🤬🤬
❤
Makes me wonder if our military is trying to go after some extraterrestrial under water and these dolphins and whales just caught up in the mix. Because we know the dangers for these animals using them sonar and we still continue to do so. What is the real reason is the question?
you want to stop whaling and bbc goes fishing
Maybe they identify as seals
This is a sad and seemingly unnecessary thing to hear about
You are doing injustice to the poor and harmless animals who give you food and help, stop protecting your own killers, you hunt poor and harmless animals, but you protect dangerous animals, dolphins have died because of the multiplying shark

Too sad for words. If the humans don't understand why the whales beaches, it'll happen again. Understand first not " oh, maybe one day".
💔😞
The inhabitants use sound to disrupt the sonar of these animals, in the Faroe Islands, during the great bloody and gratuitous massacres of Grindadrap, and thus force them to run aground on the beaches where the sacrificers await them – the whole family participates, even the children, to kill entire families of dolphins, down to the smallest baby. Here, by the mass effect, one would say that it is also a "sound problem", perhaps wind farm construction work ? Explosions ? Something massive that would have pushed them so close to the beaches that they would not have been able to escape, then, at low tide. Hearing their cries of distress, whether during the strandings or during the Grindadrap when the last baby still alive calls its fellows for help before having its back cut off too, is always heartbreaking. The Faroese claim that cutting off their backs dulls the pain. Every time I hear this, I think of the epidurals given to women in labor "the worst pain of my life"… #SeaShepherdFrance
Perfume
They were trying to escape the Labor party
So sad
Kojima has gone too far this time
Perhaps dropping sonar or other wave current detectors into the water would be beneficial. Usually in mass beachings, there's something in the water that is more of a threat to marine life than a slow death on the beach. With all the earthquakes going on all over the 🌏, the tremors may be causing it, or perhaps an unnoticed underwater volcano, lava fissure, or other chemical leak in the area…another possibility is that a much larger predator has moved into the area. You'll find the culprit in the water… it's a warning.
🥺
They treat the whales better than the elderly.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Shame on Australia
Why can't Australia complete even the most simple of tasks? Its a backward country at the best of times..
Yikes/sad…..trumps fault
This could be the work of 4 American girls trying witchcraft spells on the beach at night, then waking up today going " Uh oh…"
In other words leaving them to die… horrific
there whales
💔🙏
🙏🙏🙏🙏
This is usually a sign that a massive earthquake is incoming within the next two weeks 😮
Submarines commission the most top secret operations for world powers. You would never know their whereabouts. Who knows? Maybe sonar inadvertently in a frequency harmful within their scope of sensitivity has caused them to flee the water much like people jumping from a burning skyscraper to avoid the heat (911)… or maybe some other human development using frequency or pollution or cyclical earth core movement causing this. Either way this is very sad.
Sad sad
Sad
So sad. Animals are precious.
Does that have anything to do with the blatant military exercises China is performing in the Australian ocean before Sydney?! Emboldened thanks to Trump's destabilization?!!
Will they eat them?
This is so sad…
These are most likely chinese fishing ships using disruptive methods. They go to distant remote waters and fish in huge quantities without any check
