There's a three legged coyote where i live. Been that way for years. Animals unlike humans are resilient because nature will decide their fate. Not government.
I thought I was a pretty tough guy, until I saw this poor fella and my eyes welled up instantly. If this is what we are doing to one of the planets most majestic animals, then we should be ashamed of ourselves! What an absolute gut wrenching thing to see b/c we all know this poor beautiful creator slowly starved to death. Our neglect, thoughtlessness and greed took its life away in the most cruel and slow way! From one mammal to another, I feel very small right now. But, as always, that's just my opinion! :(((
More likely a tragic event with a tanker ship's propeller. Once its damaged past a certain point the 'tail' will ampute itself to avoid any illness to the animal. Unfortunately Whales do not have Tail-Autonomy like a Lizard . But I could see a well funded NGO trying to sedate the whale to install a prosthetic fluke , and I would happily donate $20 to any Save the Whales foundation that could make that happen. And I'll be that whale would be grateful and recognize immediately what it had been gifted. Now that would be a happy ending I'd like to see ! !
It should be illegal to leave fishing nets, lines or throw garbage in the Oceans.This is so sad & there's so many videos of everything from Sharks, Seals, Tortoises all Marine life getting tangled up in these nets or fishing lines that some boaters took it upon themselves to get into the water to cut them loose & saved them. It's like they knew they we're there to help them & they didn't try to get away or hurt the persons helping. People need to be more responsible & respectful of the beautiful creatures in the Oceans & Lakes. Ontario, 🇨🇦 😢💔
I bet with some ingenuity and the whales intelligence a prosthetic of some manner might be possible to be fitted 🤷 but they have already named the whale and exploiting its injury to spread a message so doubt rehab is high on the to-do list…
