“Once the tide was out, they were really going to be high and dry.”After about two hours of work the assembled crews were able to successfully refloat all 14whales, including at least three that were significantly smaller than the others — probably youngcalves.“The hard part . . . is that this whole area is very well known in the summertime to be filled withpilot whales,” Wimmer said, adding that their feeding habits make them one of the whale speciesthat get stranded with some regularity.“This is the normal area for them to be. It’s normal for them to even be coastal,” she said.“[But] it’s a little strange to have had two mass strandings in the past two days.”On Tuesday a group of 16 to 19 whales were stranded in a small cove near Judique in CapeBreton. Despite efforts by rescue crews, eight of those whales died.Wimmer said there’s a possibility some of the whales saved Thursday were the same as those inJudique, but it’s more likely this was a different group. She said there had already been sightingsof whales milling off Bayfield when the Judique stranding was underway.The cause of either stranding is unknown. Wimmer said one whale may have been sick and ledthe others astray, or the whales could have simply misjudged the tides.Wimmer credited the people on hand with Thursday’s successful rescue.“I think anyone is hard-pressed to just look at these animals lying on a beach helpless and notwant to do something,” she said, describing how the whales called to each other as they laystranded.“It’s a pretty emotional thing to be involved in.”Brief Description:Topic 1- Article 2 – More Whales Beached in Nova Scotiahttp://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2015/08/06/more-whales-beached-in-nova-scotia.htmlThe main issue in this article deals with the beached pilot whales that are stuck along the shorestranded while calling each other as they lay vulnerable. The exact cause of the stranding is stillunknown but it is usually normal for pilot whales to be costal in this area – shores of St.George’s Bay in Cape Brenton – during the summertime. One of the main reasons there aremore along the coastal area during the summertime is due to their feeding habits during thisseason. Some believe these whales could have misrouted the tides or because of an ill whaleleading the others off track. It is normal for these types of whales to be stranded along the shoreonce in a while, but the community is concerned due to two occurrences happening in the sameweek. Approximately 16-19 whales had been stranded and disregards rescue teams efforts, 8 ofthose pilot whales had died. Many rescue teams and people in the neighborhoods have beenmaking effort into helping push these whales back into the water. These whales still remainalong the shallow water area. Rescuers are hoping they will eventually somehow manage theirway out into the larger body of water. I think the required efforts are being taken by these rescueteams to help these whales return into the water before it’s too late. If there is anything more wecan do, I think we should raise this awareness more public, so we can have more people helpingor even having people take turns monitoring these area on a 24/7 basis to prevent further deathsof these pilot whales.4
