77 whales die on Scottish beach

A pod of 77 pilot whales died after being stranded on a beach in Scotland. It's believed to be one of the largest mass strandings in Britain in recent years.

Maybe we(every country) should stop testing weapons

The military has been known to blast loud frequencies under water, causing whales to beach themselves in pain and fright.

The equivalent of mass beachings(maybe not this one idk, but the majority of them) for us would be you living for years surrounded by fires and suffering from mild smoke inhalation unable to comfortably breath, but you get just enough oxygen so you don't die. Unable to feed, save for natural prey that is FILLED with painful to digest inorganic material that can make you sick. Eventually the agony becomes so bad you throw yourself into a fire to get it over with.

Number one causes are: Massive cruise ships

And riverways CONSTANTLY feeding trash into the ocean 24/7. Some major waterways are worse than others.

Remember the human species has set up an infrastructure to support us that treats the Ocean like a trashcan AND a foodsource at the same time. PLEASE stop littering and contributing to seafood demand.

Something is going on in our oceans. To the point the whales our tying to escape the sound! The only way is to get out of the water! Sad 😔

Now THIS is the most upsetting news today, not that other thing

[serenasantiago]

This is so sad. Im curious, why do a couple of them look like they have been cut open? Forgive my ignorance if I'm wrong.

Awful for the whales and for the people of Orkney. How harrowing to see such loss of life.

[marissadower-morgan]

Terrible Loss, we must find out why .

[MrD-po]

Bet you its to do with a military. Whether it being British or a foreign one. The only logical explanation is like someone else has said about sound frequencies or explosions.

[xueli]

NATO submarines and sonar systems take full credit.

[lindamartin]

Pollution is going to kill the ocean creatures.

[laurenboria]

Poor baby whales and their parents. This is so sad.

[melindaphillips]

Military preparing for war with Russia

[doctorstrangelove]

That is sad, so what caused this wind turbines off shore, Navy vessels sonars?

[ddawe]

Sounds like they beached themselves. Heartbreaking 😢

[snapfinger]

When the matriarch is sick or stressed she swims into shallow water & “pilots” the group to follow.

[annawinter]

There are a group of people that kill these whales in that area . They kill the whole Family, the whales have cuts if you look close enough

Our magnetic field is weak and our polar points are moving.
This is not man-made.
These animals depend on these internal navigations 🧭 to direct them. 😢 it is moving rapidly.

[sevillaisaac]

I seen one cut open. And one with blood under it ., ?
