  • DolphinDog, Whales (And all animals) can and do abandon their young. It is possible the mother died, but Cetaceans are known for leaving calves. I wish they'd bothered to try and save this little whale. How SW fed JJ was nothing like what the woman described. You keep them in a smallish tank so they can swim but can't hurt them selves (think like a hospital bed) and feed them from a tube, but you don't sit on them and you most certainly don't use metal.

  • @TacoBunnyLand Just remember when your child gets lost, whoever finds him/her can kill him. Just showing you what they did was so inhuman. And no don't cry to me saying you can't compare those two situations.

  • Lie number 1. They said the mother had abandoned it. FALSE. The truth is they have NO IDEA. Chances are the mother was caught in a fish net or hit and killed by a boat. Whales dont abandon their young. Lie number 2. At the end of the AP lie broadcast they say " oh yea and we think it had a shark bite". That was a lie to help them justify murdering the baby humpback. This is horrible. No wonder Orcas are attacking trainers in Sea World. They feel the trainer has been abandoned by its mommy

  • What pricks.

  • Too bad! Well these folks are highly amateurish and unskillful to nurse a whale!

    Hope they learn from JJ (The Orphan Gray Whale) video!

  • LMAO A shark would have certainly eaten that baby whale if it was attacked. It wasn't ill, it was weak and I'm sure whale experts wouldn't mind taking care of the whale. Just because it wasn't a dolphin and not the type to do tricks and entertain, they didn't want to put in unecessary money to save it's life. The world is a horrible place, I hope when their children go get their vaccinations for swine flu that they inject large amounts of mercury in them.

  • the poor thing was suffering, it would have starved to death otherwise....R.I.P baby whale :(

  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!­!!!!!!!!! and "destroyed" what a prick.

  • Stupid auzzies.. it came to them for help after surviving for so long.... only to be put to sleep in the end -_-

  • Comment removed

  • Why didnt they just feed him?

  • because australia ran out of whale baby milk powder

  • ASECINS!! FKN AUSTRALIEN !!

  • You IDIOT.how to feed baby humpback!?Those ppl are Idiots.Put into big pool and sit on it 24 hours a day 7 day a week ! Australians are onlty nation who fights japs on whale killing.Others like u,don't have a balls to go against japan.We do.

  • u fucks make me laugh, ur country sucks. U lead the world in nothing...ever heard of whale wars most of them are american...and that is a TV show i bet there are many more real ships just like it that do the same stuff with out cameras on the boat. And yes you feed it and take care of it 24/7 aquariums keep large groups of killer wales in captivity, why not 1 humpback. Feed it tell its healthy and release it.... Aussies on youtube are the most pretentious asses ive ever interacted with

  • @artvilm so true.

  • What They Did To That Whale Was Filth.

    =[

  • thats really disappointing. seaworld was able to raise a gray whale calf that had been abandoned and even released it back into the wild. why not a humpback calf?

    sad :(

  • The whale was killed in the most inhuman way you could imagine the whale was pulled by the tale when they were towing it to the beach & it was still thrashing & trying to escape back into the water, The N,S,W government will say anything to justify the killing of this baby whale but they were to lazy & did not look at all the alternatives that could have saved this whale's life.

  • They didnt wanna help it cause they said its mother rejected it so it would have died anyway .. that was bullshit as its mother was foud on the central coast with big markls on here like she had been hit by a boat etc...

    They should have tried.. or at least not stopped people from trying...

    the money was not the factor.. its that wilflife services basically made it so that no one was allowed to attempt to feed it (even out of their own pockets)

  • Hey, do you have anymore info on the mother being found on the central coast? Hadn't heard that. there was a dead whale found on the South coast but it turned out to be a male.

  • STUPID FUCKERS THEY KILLED COLIN

  • THEY KILLED IT?????????? IF you can put it in a pool then you can take care of it B*TCHS

  • the poor thing

  • I hope those monsters who killed collette her got fired!!!!

  • could of should of but did they? thet could at least try should have done something b4 but know just wine what happened

  • The whale had to be euthanized, as a baby on his own it had no chance of surviving. This happens in nature (even before global warming) so people shouldnt be so pissed of about this. Even if there was the slighest chance to saving this whale and reintroducing it into the wild, it would probably cost a lot more than to save 2 other whales in the wild.

  • I am all for an animal not suffering, but more could have been done and was not! There were people with ideas on how to feed her, but no one wanted to listen. I think the idiots involved took the easy way out instead of going above and beyond to save this baby. I also find it interesting that they stated that Colette was at deaths door...why then did she fight so long and hard to survive in the end???

    By the way...91bengran91--I would have gave money to save her and I'm sure others would too.

  • u bastard whale actavists!

    if u want it to live so bad, you pay the thousands of dolars for it to survive, it was very sick and was going to die anyways, the way in which it was put down was very humane and very plainless. infact i belive we did the right thing, putting it down to take away its pain. so stop bitching and grow up

  • Sea World CA rescued a baby gray whale named J.J.... they were able to get her healthy and release her back to the wild...they at least tried... what...no marine parks in Australia?... if anything the baby humpback whale was a survivor...and maybe wanted to live....just a sad story...

  • THere was no need to euthanise the whale. They should have allowed it to live and let nature take its corse with it.

  • there's a good chance the baby wasn't abandoned, it's mother was killed days ago. the baby has bin in the news for days as a distraction in the news, so the NSW government can get away with privatising the electricity supply to Zionist elites. they always need a headline story to keep bad press out, when there up to something corrupt

    they didn't want to give it whale milk and give it a chance, it's mother had just bin found dead. and the baby had to go quick to try and cover the whole thing up ?

  • I was in contact with the Australian Dept. of Wildlife for several days and it was very clear from their emails that they planned to euthanize it all along. This "It's condition has deteriorated overnight and it's been attacked by sharks" is total rubbish.

  • IM SHAKING MY TACKLEBOX IN ANGER!!!

  • This is so sad... poor little whale

  • Little baby now you are swimming where there is not hunger, along with all that have crossed. You have found now your mother, and she knows you are by her side. The ocean looks up to you, and it smile with you. You were to happen to remind how fragile all we are.

    Thank you!!

    With Love!

  • btw does any1 actually know how they killed this animal? an injection? drowning in a such?? or just beat the crap out it till it died.does any1 know what will happen to the whale now?maybe made into dogfood or sumthing, i dont think they wud have done it if there was nothing to gain i would not be suprised if they sold the made and made a nice profit the dickheads

  • who r they to decide whetha that whale shud have lived or died surely if it was too weak to survive they shud have let nature take its coarse,its ridiculous at least if it had died naturally it wud have supplied other fish with food.what was gaind by destroying the whale???i dont know what to say,shud we destroy all the weak people because they are ill or dying? this is not the case so why shud it apply to this mammel,maybe we shud euthinise the people who destroyed this whale for being morbid.

  • We humans have intelligence is what we say...

    But saving 1 baby whale is to much for us to grasp with our brains?

  • very well said sarcophyllus...

    a quote from youtube user sarcophyllus --- "We humans have intelligence is what we say...

    But saving 1 baby whale is to much for us to grasp with our brains? "

  • its sad ..

  • quote: "This animal needed to be destroyed".

    Who are we to decide that? God?

  • "WILDLIFE experts will conduct DNA tests on a whale they believe may have been the mother of a lost calf nicknamed Colin, hours after the young whale was euthanased.

    Daily Telegraph reports the development came as National Parks and Wildlife head Sally Barnes revealed Colin was actually Colleen - a female humpback whale calf.

    It is believed a whale carcass being eaten by sharks near Eden on the NSW South Coast may have been her mother, explaining why the young whale turned up alone & hungry.."

  • poor baby whale... :(
