Very sad "summer show"; fin whale stranded in Vejle, Denmark. June 16. 2010

[lordirockerHolgerdk]

it was 135 years old (no lie im from denmark!)

[HartaRomaniei]

just curious, where it was the Animal Protection in this story? I did not hear a sound from that side. also, wonder how is that that the whale've got lost directly in the vejle fiord? did she came after any ultrasound? she knew exactly which city is burning after a whale to be expose on a museum.sorry, I am sarcastic and very "mistenksom". this story is stinking very bad.

[hvilesteddk]

@HartaRomaniei It is a male. They found out today. 24 tons, length about 17,5 metres and very thin. Weight for a fin whale of this size should at least have been 3 tons more. Most properly it was already weak before it, by “failure” made the wrong direction towards Vejle and got lost. Nobody wanted this to happen. "Fins" are not native to Denmark. Worldwide it is not unusual whales sometimes strand and die because of illness/weakness. Thanks for your interest in “our whale”.

Du kæmpede en brav kamp

*klynk*

[janebartholdy]

Now on the south side of "sunny Vejle" dok,

Beeing a lot of finwhales beaf steaks tomorrow.

[TheOpinionater]

@BoratKazakstan . Ja, og helt uden nogen form for hjaelp......

[Flyrod4life]

Ikke særlig betænksomt at omringe den med både

[HartaRomaniei]

it's ok your English, don't worry about it.

I did not want to hear that, that's why I did not check/read in inbox.

I am so sorry to hear that ..........:((......

[hvilesteddk]

June 20. 11.30 AM: Just heard it on the local radio (DR P4); the fin whale is dead.

[hvilesteddk]

June 20. 9.30 AM: News tells the fin whale is still alive. But activity is lower. It is still high water and it is difficult seeing /deciding how much life there is. But it also seems “the famous whale” does not intent giving up life just like that......sorry about my English. I am thinking about visiting Vejle today; shall I, shall I not...I don’t know.....

[marlovedk]

Har lavet en sang til minde om Valle. Tjek den ud :o)

[hvilesteddk]

June 19. 8.50 PM news papers write the fin whale is still breathing, now and then it is moving its tale. Experts do not expect the tired whale can survive. It is not possible to kill it in a human way. It is only to wait it will take its last breath. Read f. ex. the News in English on jp.dk

[WielkiPolskiPatriota]

if I was there I would simply go into the water and pull whale at deeper waters...but that's me.

[darkland20]

@WielkiPolskiPatriota Of course, i don't know why they don't use a powerfull motor boat and try to pull it.

[hvilesteddk]

June 18. 10.15 pm. The fin whale is stranded again at very low water depth. News papers write it does not look good. The situation is worse than ever. Fire workers made a good try forcing it to swim out on deeper water. It did not work. And there is not much hope it will survive. People now will wait until tomorrow hoping it does not open its eyes again; hoping the suffering for the fin whale is over.

Jeg har lavet en støttevideo på min kanal

[hvilesteddk]

Fin video. Håber det lykkes de hårdt arbejdende brandmænd m. fl. at få den ud af fjorden. Ville bare være det største "hvis den narrede alle" og kommer ud på dybt vand igen.

[Shinykangaroo]

@hvilesteddk Hvalen må klare sig selv fordi myndighederne allerede har sat mere pris på dens død end dens liv. Da jeg så Hvalen idag, kunne den i modsætning til din video komme helt under vand og selv komme op og trække luft plus at den rykkede sig lidt, nu er den jo forholdsvis langt ude fra stranden. MYNDIGHEDERNE SKAL FINDE HJERTET FREM OG HJÆLPE DEN STAKKELS HVAL, der skal ikke meget til nu

[hvilesteddk]

@Shinykangaroo Kan godt forstå dine tanker: Lidt rigeligt mange "flåede bjørnen før den var skudt". Jeg har ikke forstand på hvaler. Men jeg tror f. eks. ikke den sådan lige kan dø af sult med det tykke spæklag den har. Det siges den tåler ikke at blive trukket fri. Hvad med at skubbe. F .eks en lodsbåd med en stor plade eller skovl foran og så bare skubbe alt hvad båden kan. ????? Jeg aner det ikke. Gammelt ordsprog: Den som / hvo intet vover intet vinder.

[Shinykangaroo]

@hvilesteddk Nu kunne skrev jeg ikke det hele, så jeg fortsætter lidt. Da jeg var der ude i dag bevægede hvalen sig plus/minus 10m, nu er det selvfølgeligt besværligt at bedømme afstand fra stranden når den er så langt væk fra bredden. Jeg aner heller intet om hvaler, men man har kraner i vor dage, og efter få hele kroppen under vand og komme op igen må der være en chance at løfte den ved at skubbe noget under den så hele kroppen bliver støttet. Ja det lyder måske sygt

[Shinykangaroo]

@hvilestedet desuden skulle være masser af "løs" sand derude hvor den befinder sig lige nu, det kunne være muligt at gøre "hullet" dybere. En anden ting som jeg så på discovery eller var det animal planet for noget tid siden, var at man forsøgte at redde 3-4 strandet hvaler i, mener det var usa, ved at skibe sejlede ud på dyb vand og afspilte hvalsange, du har sikkert set det. I hvertfald lykkedes det 2 af hvalerne, kan ikke huske hvilken art, at kæmpe sig fri. De blev "snydt", som de sagde.

[hvilesteddk]

@Shinykangaroo Interessant. Men nej, jeg har ikke set udsendelsen. Og det er ikke sygt at gøre sig tanker/ideer. Om det nu ender godt eller skidt så får DK sig nogle erfaringer. Og tja! Man kan nok ikke helt sammenligne "den smule vand vi har" med f. eks. kystområderne i USA. Og hvis det passer hvad der fortælles er det globalt set ikke usædvanligt med strandede hvaler. Derfor er det nu alligevel ærgerligt med den i Vejle. God nat (ikke hvalen, men det er sovetid

[hvilesteddk]

June 18. 6.30 PM: Windy weather, high water. The Fin whale is free and seems to behave normally. Let's pray it can find the way out in the ocean.

[HartaRomaniei]

why they did not do anything to help her? they guided her in the wrong direction and now just waiting for her to die, isn't? there are a lot of money after her death and a delicates for crap people and the museum.......was missing a whale. shame on all of you!!!!!!!! god "bless" all of you!!!

[hvilesteddk]

Fire workers has done a lot to force it coming free by own strength. But even a big whale has a problem when its body of 30 tons is stranded. You can't pull it free; wounds from this will also kill the whale. Normally Fin whales can handle low water depth. Scientists think is was already week and maybe ill. So I read in news papers.

[siriustuga]

i saw that today and i find bad becausethey cant do something

[mariann64]

det er uhyggeligt at se så stort et pattedyr ligge der og at der ikke kan bukseres ud. 30 ton er meget. kan ikke finde ord. jeg var der i aftes og da baskede den med halen 3 gange den time halvanden.. og trak vejret meget dybt. suk. tænker positivt at der sker noget .. men er ikke naiv. Den er jo afkræftet og måske syg.
