Consider for a moment what would be so terrifying as to make you leave your home to die?
A recent project I Google Mapped that involved just such a scenario and got me to wonder how it would apply to me or you.
Now apply that scenario to the mass strandings of whales. What was so terrifying as to make them leave their life giving watery environment to die?
Natural reasons?
Disorientation?
Undersea earthquakes?
Distortion in the magnetic field?
Navy Sonar?

Historically, all of them did. So, just imagine how such a scenario would apply to us. How would we react if all the air around us vibrated with aloud noise and scared the heck out of us. What would we do? Yet, us caring humans want to help the dying family of whales by sending them as lonely individuals back into the very thing they feared so much. Some of these fears were things that involved tissue damage to the whale. So, is our caring nature helping the whales or torturing them?
