After
105 pilot whales were found stranded and perished on southern New
Zealand’s Colville Beach, another 64 were found and 43 saved on
Coromandel Beach, thanks to the help of about 300 volunteers, rescuers
and visitors who kept the mammals wet until the tide came in and they
could safely swim back to the ocean.
The 21 who perished were buried on the sacred Maori land.
Although
the reason for these strandings is unknown, such events have been
observed to be increasing along with the human-caused effects of global
warming.
Our appreciation all volunteers and rescuers whose
tireless efforts helped keep the whales alive during this
heart-wrenching incident. May God continue to bless the loving whales as
we work to protect all marine species and their beautiful ocean homes.
During an international gathering in August 2008, Supreme Master Ching
Hai spoke with sorrow about stranded ocean mammals, and how humans both
cause and can help with their predicament.
Supreme Master Ching Hai: So
many whales and dolphins, they wash up ashore and die. There are so
many dead zones in the ocean.It’s suffocating them, so they have to swim
out of the water where it’s full of the poisonous gas that has been
released! They cannot bear it, they cannot breathe. So they have to get
out of it.
For them, life is in the water, but if water is full
of poison, of course they come out. But when they come out, they die,
too. Because they have no water. They stay in the ocean, they die; they
came out, they die. There is no choice for them. This is the worst of
all cruelty, that the people don’t take care of the environment. And let
all beings keep dying like this.
Just to be vegan, how difficult can it be?
Even
the dolphins have to swim out of the ocean; because they think like
that they can survive, even risking their lives. So why not we can just
can change to vegan diet?
