Then perhaps you shoud have called out for more help to get them ALL back out to the sea where they belong. shooting them was the easy way out...I believe we humans are the cause for this happening all over the world!

@peasonerf i sincerely hope you are joking. if not, over 50 million years ago, whales were land creatures, backwards evolution is not on any whales agenda. next, i assume you mean sea shepherd, only stops ILLEGAL whale slaughter, particularly concerning commercial whaling, this was not illegal, therefore there was no reason for sea shephred to intervene. lastly even if they were trying to evolve beached whales are crushed under their weight as a result of evolution turning them to water animals

[peasonerf]

What aren't the sea schleppers there attacking these whale murderers? They are shooting poor whales that are only trying to evolve to land creatures. These people came along and stopped evolution from finishing the process. Where are the sea schleppers?

That's what I was thinking, maybe sharks were chasing them and in an effort to get away they beached themselves.
