Baby whale stranded in Sydney to be put down

(From telegraph.co.uk)- Vets plan to euthanise the whale early on Friday morning, if it has not died naturally by then. Authorities are expected to use a lethal dose of anaesthetic.

He could have at least learned to swim with them and eat krill and plankton.”
