> I'm just curious as to WHY we push whales back into the ocean after they have beached themselves.
> The whales have beached themselves because of a)the water is screwed up, b) the whale is sick, or c) the whale is just that plain stupid. So our solution is to say, "Hey, you're either sick, the water's contaminated, or your just plain dumb, but lets pretend to be heros and push you back in so we can get on the news.
