Dolphin tragedy in Cornwall. Dolphin tragedy in Madagascar. So long and thanks for all the fish...

"For this was the day the dolphins came to die. From the moment they headed up a tidal estuary from the deep waters of the south Cornish coast, they were virtually doomed.
Yet for several hours they kept coming. Wave after wave of them made the fateful journey along the receding waters of the Percuil River and surrounding creeks near Falmouth on Sunday night - either in pursuit of food, it is thought, or in response to the call of the dying.
The result was one of the most horrific scenes to confront coastguards and animal rescue groups for years - the worst mass stranding in nearly three decades. At least 21 dolphins died and several were in such poor condition they had to be put down. " LINK

"Some 55 dolphins have died, after coming ashore on a beach in the northwest of Madagascar, conservationists said on Monday." LINK
