Rescuers to turn fire hoses on whales

Rescuers to turn fire hoses on whales

In California a whale mother and her calf took a wrong turn a week ago entering Sacramento River and travelled 90miles inland . They have been proceeding the right way, but now for some unknown reason they have been circling around for days. The two whales have spent more than a week in the river and now the scientist have thought of a new plan of pushing them back to where their homes are. They have never used this technique of spraying water from above and below the river.
The whales have been circling a point of the river around 70 miles inland. Their destination have not changed for a few days but their wounds have gotten worse. It was cause by collision from the boats’ propellers and caused a big cut across the back. The scientist also got veterinary science at the Marin Mammal Center in Sausalito to create some antibiotics for the whales but the scientist are still working and developing the drug. The injection of the antibiotics would help the whale to recover faster from the wound. They said that the medicine would be given to the whales through dart needles.
I think the reason for them to be circling the area is that they do not want to go back with the large wound as the salt water gives them enormous pain. They stayed in the fresh water for that long is because after they realized they were not on track they went back but with the help of human they got their cuts and now are suffering. I think that if the scientist really want to help is evacuate the boats from that area or not permit any activities that involve boats as accidents might accrue again and might be fatal if the whales get any more physical damaged.
