ABANDONED BABY HUMPBACK WHALE!

Even with all the development, still are some unconscious and selfish people that doesn´t care about the wellness animals, because they think they are superior, but that just proves how ignorant they are.


Even so, there are people who doesn´t doubt to take a life if that gives them benefit, even when that can affect to a lot of animals, even to a whole chain of ecosystems. This is the case of whales, which for many years there has been indiscriminate hunting, leaving many helpless and homeless calves.






Some years ago there was a case of an abandoned baby humpback whale on Sydney's Pittwater Bay, who made headlines in the Guardian, August 19, 2008.

This whale was only two months old and 5m. Long, it was found on two occasions following and trying to suckle from a whale-sized yacht.


This drama made headlines in many media, and there was much concern about the calf, A spokesman from the department of national parks and wildlife said the calf risked dying of hunger, being attacked by sharks or beaching itself. The big problem was that Australia did not have the expertise or facilities to assist in these critical cases, critical because in wildlife normally the calves stay with their mothers eleven months.
However, in this news doesn´t say which is the cause because the baby whale was abandoned; there are a lot of similar cases, where the calves finally die without their mother.
