Authorities in Western Australia are working feverishly to save up to 100 pilot whales that have beached themselves at Toby’s Inlet near Dunsborough, more than 250km south of Perth. The mass stranding occurred on Thursday, with wildlife authorities immediately responding to the scene to render assistance. However, the public is urged to strictly adhere to the instructions provided by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions to ensure the safety of both personnel and the affected whales. “The highest priority at mass whale stranding events is always human safety followed by animal welfare,” Parks and Wildlife Western Australia emphasized in a Facebook post. “We want all staff and volunteers to go home safe.” The latest mass whale stranding marks a recurring challenge in Western Australia, with the region experiencing similar events in the past. The authorities are determined to minimize the loss of life among these magnificent creatures while prioritizing the well-being of those involved in the rescue efforts.
