vaarwel / au revoir /Auf Wiedersehen / αντίο / arrivederci / さようなら / adeus / adiós / farewell for now / all = goodbye
Goodbye to our whale. :cry: :cry: :cry:
 
I missed the news today. Bit it did sound bad ehrn he would not go.
Thery say they know when their time has come and maybe they hurt him more and made him suffer more trying to save him. But you have to try.

Swim free whaley, asdn have fun in the Undersea Gardens.
 
Despite all the nasty people in this world, you can always count on some humans to try and help, even if it is through bucket chains until the tide rises. The whale wasn't ill when it went onto the barge, it's condition deteriorated rapidly after that. We tried. Sometimes you win them, sometimes you don't, but we'll keep trying for the times when we do.
 
They are now wondering if some MoD site may have "fazed' the whale and uposet his bearings.
THere had been some tesat explosions in the site in Essex.

Roger Gale, Tory MP for North Thanet in Kent, said shockwaves from the site in Essex could have confused it.

Of course the MD and the company involved say nothing to do with us,

The MoD said independent specialists had concluded it was "inconceivable" that the effects of the range could have contributed to the incident.

It said it had consulted with Vibrock, a company specialising in vibration monitoring and control, who had studied the effects of the site in Shoeburyness for over a year.

The animal was apparently sighted off the Essex coast in the early part of last week at a time when the explosions were at their absolute worst

Tim Wilton, director of Vibrock, said: "The impact of the MoD's work on the marine environment is miniscule compared to everyday shipping activity in the area."

Who knows waht we are doing to the aquatic animals. Swim free litle bottole nose and enjoy the undersea gardens for Whales
 
Swim free big guy, I was so sad when I heard the news that you didn't make it :cry: will you ever know that the humans where trying to save you? I hope so. at least you are free now and won't have to be scared or suffer.
swim free under the rainbow bridge xx
 
Scoot a whale to watch, how exciting please tell him he had a great many people rooting for him and thinking of him on his last journey xxx
 
It was a great shame that she died. At least some good has come of it- we can know a bit more about the habits of whales, and the charity that tried to rescue her has become more well known and has received lots of donations- the rescue cost £5 000, and they have received over £10 000 in donations, even though the whale didn't survive. That money can go to helping marine life in the future.
