On the morning of April 19, a male sperm whale ran aground in the waters off Shipu Town, Xiangshan County, Ningbo City.
At 5:20 a.m. on April 20, after a 20-hour relay rescue, the sperm whale successfully returned to the sea under the tow and escort of the fishing boat.
This is the first time that China has successfully rescued stranded whales, and it is rare at home and abroad.
This successful rescue is inseparable from the scientific rescue method, but also inseparable from the efforts of firefighters and local residents.
Let us see the good side of human beings.
However, not all people are good and beautiful.
There have been countless cases of stranded animals dying because of ignorance, curiosity, curiosity, and vanity.
In mid-April, a dolphin ran aground on a beach in Texas, USA.
Before the rescue team arrived, more than a dozen tourists surrounded the dolphin, constantly petting the dolphin, taking photos with it, and some people wanted to ride on the dolphin.
This eventually led to the death of the dolphin.
In 2017, a baby dolphin ran aground on a beach in southern Spain, but was eventually tortured to death by tourists.
In 2016, a small dolphin that also ran aground was tortured to death by tourists.
It cannot be said that these tourists deliberately killed stranded animals, but the poor little animals actually died because of human stupidity.
Therefore, the next time you see a stranded animal, report to the relevant departments at the first time and do not rush to rescue.
Because you don't know how to properly rescue stranded animals, you can do bad things.
More importantly, respect life and don't use them as a tool to show off in the circle of friends.
