A sad story all around, and I was just on this beach a few weeks ago.
Some things: If you spotted a beached whale, wouldn't you conclude that the animal belonged in the water, not on the sand? Wouldn't the right thing to do appear to be to point the animal back toward the sea? The following comment in the Sun-Sentinel begs at least one question: is this what whale experts say? Just leave them there?
"If they're on the beach, you keep them on the beach," said Vincent Canosa, chief of the Hollywood Beach Safety Unit. "Pushing them out only hurts them."
