55 whales die after mass beaching in South Africa

anyone has any idea why this might be happening

I hope Current follows up this article with the results of their autopsies. I hope the doctors check the whale's bellies for plastic, and their ears for signs of sonar damage.

Sad story...

I imagine the leaders of the pack steered them wrong and then they became disoriented; no more, no less.

why do we kill ourselves with tobacco, sugar, & other mass produced, heavily processed garbage???

the mysteries of the world are as complex as they are transparent

Well, let be all real scientfiic about this, ok? Let's measure everything we can measure. Figure this shit out.

This is obviously a pod, a group, a herd, whatever you to call it. The leader had to go first. If one of these whales, who wasn't the leader, had gone first - the group wouldn't have necessarily followed, now would they? But follow they did. ALL of them. Even the ones we managed to get back in the ocean just did it again. The article quotes 55. I count 15 in the hoto. So visualize 4 photo's, subtract 5 whales from one of them and there you have the total. It's worse than it looks.

In the history of mankind have there ever been tales of wild animals, groups of them, doing weird shit? Mass suicide? Animals? Not that I've read.

Is this not a signal? I mean are we not seeing something we should be paying attention to? Something is wrong. This has happened before. Remember the whales in Ca? It's continuing. Do you know what it is? I don't.

I suggest maybe this is important. It's been more than a year , maybe a lot longer, since this happened the first time. Do we know anymore now than we did then? Something is going on, we just don't know what.

Point being, does anyone? Do we know what's wrong? How can we stop a thing, when we don't know what's wrong? By all the Lords of High Peaks something is happening. SOMETHING

I think this is a warning. At least we should take it as one. Animals, (whales aren't that far behind us as far as intelligence goes) are doing weird shit. Why are they doing this? Do they see something we don't? Sense it? Feel it? They're killing themselves; and we don't know why.

We need to know the why. If something needs to be corrected we need to know what. Simple matter if we could talk to the whales. We can't.
We need to know why.

They'd rather die at their own hands than be apart of this madness we've all created.

Very sad. I hope there is a full investigation as to why these whales were beeched. Doesn't sound natural at all.

When whales try to leave the ocean, the place they own, you know there must be something wrong.

whales have been beaching themselves since there have been whales in the ocean

I used to live in Cape Town - this is really sad news! I've had a really special close-encounter with one of these gentle spectacular creatures when I was still living there ... I'll never forget it.

fertilizer baby

this is soo sad. hopefully someone will figure out what happened. I hope it's not because of our Stupid species. It's bad enough what we do to ourselves and each other. We are really leaving a horrible footprint on this planet. *sigh*. I Hope we get our shit together and atone for the damage we are doing to the planet.

There not dead. There just sleeping. Somebody go wake them up.

this is horrible this shouldnt bee allowed they should b charged!!
