So very sad!! I heard at work about the re-stranding. By the time I got home from there were 'live" pictures on the local news. Some were showing the actual euthanization, stressing that it was done to relieve their suffering. The volunteers were so devastated. We hope and pray the ones that were spared will not strand themselves again.

Jackie, they are performing necropsys on those that perished in hopes of getting an answer. They all seem to follow the lead whale. He or she may have been searching for food and lost her sense of direction or been ill. As of now, they are not sure.
