Mass Suicide
 
or what???

I just don't get why these aquatic mammals do this. It so heart-breaking to see and hear the stories.

Maybe some drug runner had to dump his heroin over the side of the ship.

Does it seem to anyone else that this sort of thing is happening more often? Or is it because of more news coverage?

Lilith 03-05-2005 05:13 PM

I don't know but I just find it so strange. These are our ancestors and I want to try to rationalize and humanize the events. I just don't see why whole pods do it.

It's nature, something we'll never fully understand.

Oops sorry is my Darwin showing?! :p

After further searching I found this site... it is pretty interesting. There are may hypothesis as to why whales or dolphins strand themselves and this article explains those pretty well..

Heard on the news that one group is blaiming the Navy's sonar for disorenting the dolphins.

Along with possible causes that may be human produced, there should be a serious research of historic whaling and coastal commercial fishing records happening.

Sharni 03-05-2005 10:03 PM

I was born in what was once a whaling town

PantyFanatic 03-05-2005 10:15 PM

Are there any accounts of such happenings before the advent of sonar and such?
