It never ceases to amaze me to what idiotic things people will donate their money....all the while refusing to help out the poor family down the street, or speaking ill of the shabily dressed poor kids that go to school with their kids.

The scientists will be doing an autopsy on the poor mammal. After that, I agree with you - he should be taken out to sea and left there - he needs to go back to his "roots" when he was born and rightfully where he should die.

They've already done the autopsy, they said it died of dehydration & that it was hungry.

Just heard on the news - now I hope they do the right thing and take it out to sea and set it free!
