That is a very sad thing to just give up without even trying the impossible im sure if someone contacted people that know about this sort of the thing then we wouldnt have to let this poor baby just die + we should be feeding it right now not just looking at it, its starving try and feed the whale

I should think the Sea World personnel or the New England aquarium could help by sending someone who knows how to feed the baby whale.

Also, since the whales are migrating through the waters off Sydney, it seems more concerted effort to find the mother or another lactating female should be made.

This whale can clearly be saved. I saw on whiled Rescues - tv show, where group of people saved 2 whales by getting into a water and feeding them by tubes and they had to hold them so they dont drown for couple of months, night and day, raine and shine, sure we are able to do the same, I would !

A baby whale was saved in America using a substitute for whale's milk. Why can't the same thing be done for little Colin! If it's been done once, it should be tried again. We owe this helpless little creature all the help we can give him.

I feel the next best thing is to put it out of its misery it is shocking to whatch an animal like this starve to death please it should be euthanased it is going to die a slow painful death if a solution is not found quickly

Cynthia Farr, Gold Coast, Australia

surely there is an expert who has dealt with this up at queenslands australian zoo or some other company dont just give on another whales life like we do with the japanese wahling (scientific research) mankind has got to realise that we are here to protect and save not kill and destroy

Craig Wragg, Athol Park, Australia

If it is obviously going to die anyway, we at least should try something, surely somebody knows the closest mix to whale milk; after all even babies have soya milk e.t.c. Milk is milk.
Just do it!

Can some aquarium help or advise? I believe the New England Aquarium in the USA has nursed baby whales.

At last, a potential use for Jodie Marsh.

Can't the Japanses assist in their pursuit of scientific research?

Neil, Frankfurt, Germany

Don't let this innocent creature die. Please start feeding him, I know it won't be easey but god will reward you for this

Why can't they feed it in the wild and wait for a pod of whales to come past and pick it up?

Maddie , mona vale, australia

why dont they raise the whale in pittwater where it is atleast for the suckleing period

Linda of California....

would you give a straight beefsteak to a 6 month old human ?

This whale should be still on the tit - that's why it's life is in danger unless a wet-nurse can be found.

If we know what the calf needs, then it's not that difficult to save it if it starts feeding. Try feeding it!
