Hey Gizmo. I’m real sad this morning—I have a personal ask today, not professional if you can swing it:

Last night news reports of a beached baby whale in yachats,OR made the rounds on social media. Volunteers were requested to form a bucket brigade to keep him wet and dig trenches to try and help him turn around. the proper authorities and marine biologists were called, but because it was so late and conditions weren’t favorable (it was around midnight and very dark and rainy and cold) they said they couldn’t do anything for him until high tide/first light. 

That time has come and gone. 

The authorities arrived on scene and told all the volunteers to clear the scene, from reports of those around the whale the authorities aren’t trying to do anything…just keeping the public away. We just got word that they plan to euthanize him within the hour…

I’m really really struggling with the fact that volunteers worked all night to keep him wet, and they came to what looks like an abrupt decision.

Is there anything that you know could explain their lack of action? Are there medical or logistical things I don’t know about that they came to the conclusion on? I’m just trying to understand it
