The #WhaleSanctuaryProject should never have participated in the so-called #rescue attempt of that #humpbackwhale in the #BalticSea, because it was quite clear that that #animal was way too injured and ill to have any chance. I do not understand why these experienced people did not (want to) see that. None of the veterinarians involved had the courage to acknowledge that the case was out of their expertise either.

Not even the #vet flewn in from the #US was capable to agree with scientific and expert advice, and to acknowledge her lack of experience with large #whales.

There had been a reason why experts, including the #IWC, had decided to leave the #humpbackwhale alone - instead of -yes, i do use this expression, in spite of all good intentions there clearly were- torturing him, only to please the broad public.

However, I still firmly believe in the real #expertise of the people involved, be that the #physiotherapy or the post-burn #treatment of #dogs and similar #animals, or the #release of physically relatively healthy animals into #sanctuaries, as in the case of the imprisoned #orcas #Keijo and #Wikie.

P. S.: This, unfortunately, isn't an interview. It's the relapse between experts (3), who, unfortunately, though understandably, are and were unfamiliar with language, politics, previous history, etc., on the one, and esoteric non-experts (3), and an "out-of-habitat" veterinarian whose license should be at stake, on the other hand, where the latter four are trying to convince everyone else that people should go for ... - what? or who? ... Milei? AfD? Trump? religion? 🤢
