Experts say 'nothing that can be done' for 60-foot whale found on New York beach

I couldn't even bring myself to watch the video.

Well, if they can't get them off the streets and out of the parks, then who would think they can get them off a beach?

Beached whales also took on theological significance. An impression of Buytewech’s print, executed in 1617—a climactic year in the struggle between Calvinist militants and their Remonstrant opponents—became “a warning dispatched by God against an irresponsible truce and a sinful compromise with the forces of Antichrist.” The whales “incorporated proverb, prophecy, and parable in their disconcerting immensity” and were exploited as a potent reminder of the consequences of disobeying divine law.

The text on Saenredam’s print connects the episode to a series of disasters that occurred between the end of 1601 and the summer of 1602: the port of Ostend was besieged by Archduke Albert’s army; reports from Spain indicated that a grand armada was about to sail for the Netherlands; and there were reports of a solar and lunar eclipse, earthquake, and a severe outbreak of the plague. Like so many other “disaster” prints of the period, Saenredam’s print thus functions as both oracle and descriptive document.

The Whale is one of the most Spiritual Creations God made

Disruption in magnetic field

A theory advanced by Geologist Jim Berkland, formerly with the U.S. Geological Survey, attributes the strandings to radical changes in the Earth's magnetic field just prior to earthquakes and in the general area of earthquakes. Berkland says when this occurs, it interferes with sea mammals' and even migratory birds' ability to navigate, which explains the mass beachings. He claims dogs and cats can also sense the disruptions, which explains elevated rates of runaway pets 1–2 days before earthquakes. Research on Earth's magnetic field and how it is affected by moving tectonic plates and earthquakes is ongoing.

so East Coast be mindful

Can't the Mayor just pass a law outlawing whales from "loitering" on NYC beaches? This would solve the problem, right?
Oh, and how long before lines form with people screaming "They's gots my Obama blubber and won't gives me none. I wants my free Obama blubber!"
But this IS a sad story. TV reports I saw this morning showed it was very malnourished and should have been far south by this time of year.

Or maybe powerful new Navy sonar driving them out of the water also? Like wanting to escape a hard rock concert before you go deaf.

Eat the thing already. Have a bbq. What the hell is this throw food away mentality
You all sound like a bunch of dumb ass valley girls. Dont you see how brainwashed you have become?Spiritual my ass. Some of you spiritual people people sound pretty dopey also. The eskimos are spiritual and they eat lits of fish like whales.That new age thinking will have you eating grass like a cow. Grab a knife and fork an thank God for multiplying your food

Ya don't eat sick and dying animals...

Might be nothing or might be important -->> but when I was looking up this morning I noticed geese flying west to east instead of North to South. I thought to myself it was very odd to see two flocks of them flying that way. (I am on the East coast in NC).

Animals have that sixth sense...SS wrote a great thread a while back about it...

Yes they know before we do thanks for info

Poor whale, I hope it is not in too much pain, and passes in peace, if nothing can be done.
