            unfortunately the stranding of dolphins and other marine mammals happens more often these days although not always in such numbers, its part of nature as everyone (including humans) competes for the resource of the sea.. (bear in mind we send a ton of electromagnetic signals into the sea to find out where fish are etc…)

            at least loads of people with useful skills and resources responded and they did save 40 of them

            for those of us living by the coast this is what to do if you see a stranded cetacean…

              “It should be remembered that diseases can be transmitted from the dead bodies of mammals to humans, so care should be taken and no contact made with the animal until the appropriate protective clothing, such as thick rubber gloves, is available. Such infections are called Zoonoses”.

              ha ha you can catch zoonoses?! if thats not worth touching a dead whale i dont know what is!

                      I know they are amazing creatures and its a shame they died but I can’t help but wonder what they taste like.

                      It could be a hog roast with an interesting twist.

                        doesnt sound particularly appetising TBH.

                        In Taiji, the fishermen say that dolphin tastes like venison or beef. But eaten raw with a dab of ginger and soy sauce, the glistening dark flesh resembles liver with a coppery aftertaste that lingers on the roof of the mouth long after you’ve chewed it past your protesting taste buds. The ripe, tangy smell stays longer. “I hate cutting up dolphin,” says Motohata Toshihiro, who runs a nearby whale-meat shop. “The stink stays on you for days, even after several baths.”

                          I love venison especially slow roasted over flames so it sounds like the type of thing I’d be up for eating. Smells don’t bother me too much either I bet its nothing compared to half of my mates feet.

                              yeah, now its coming out that not only was there a sub there, there was also a ship and a contolled explosion and one of them was doing sonar tests, but obviously that is all just a complete coincidence and has nothing to do with the dolphins beaching!:you_crazy

                                      Well my two cents on this is that the dolphins were Iranian trained dolphins, which were probing our sea defences. Our Navy caught em and stopped em before they could unleash small thermonuclear devices which would obliterate the UK. God bless the Royal Navy! 😉

                                      PS This has to be the most logical answer

                                          IMO its obviously some kind of mass suicide, All these dolphins meet a charasmatic fella outside the church tells them what they want to hear.
                                          Next thing they’ve signed over all there savings and are living on a farm in the middle of the sea.
                                          Then the leader decides there all going to a ‘better’ place.
                                          But if youre a dolphin how do you kill yourself?
                                          poison wont work, as soon as you open the bottle underwater it all leaks out and gets diluted.
                                          Theres only one thing for it mass beaching.

                                          Its Wako all over again.

                                            Apparently this is common as dolphins have to make a concious effort to breathe so if their lives aren’t worth living they stop breathing – this has happened with dolphins in captivity when badly treated…

                                            As for the Navy sonar kit, I am sceptical as to whether this would be the cause. The whole idea of this equipment would be to covertly monitor the presence of objects in the sea. If it caused a heap of dead marine mammals to turn up the shore, this is a bit of a giveaway..

                                              Well when im in the Navy, i shall let everyone know if dolphins are on the navy’s target lists. 😉

                                                  Often its quite the opposite, especially round here the Navy do a lot of work with CEFAS to protect marine wildlife and deter overfishing (often supplying the “muscle” to keep certain foreign boats from breaking the rules).
