In before it’s blamed on 1) climate change, 2)Trump, or 3) Russians.

YOU ARE WAAAY TOO LATE!..............................

Transgenders?

[Red Badger]

I have heard that whale steaks are extremely so tender you can cut them with a fork, and taste like fish.......................

Contributing factors can include "sickness, navigational error, geographical features, a rapidly falling tide, being chased by a predator, or extreme weather,"...

Climate Change

[gov_bean_ counter]

Hahaha!!!

The whys of life and death are inexplicable at times.

Natural culling of the pod perhaps.

If you're a true believer in the religion of climate change, you conveniently have built-in explanations for anything and everything that doesn't go according to your world-view.

Don't be surprised when the Left to blames these whale deaths on climate change....human-caused climate change.

So it's not Mother Nature that caused these beached whales to die. It was your conservative neighbor who BBQs and drives a big SUV.

The Left is pretty busy right now blaming Trump for anything and everything that doesn't go according to their world-view.

I'm sure they'll get around to combining the two issues by blaming Trump for climate change getting worse and killing the dead whales. They're good at the blame game.

Pilot whales lost their way?

Ironic.

Pilot whales are chased by predators?

There is no empirical evidence to support that claim. Science Fiction!

[minnesota_bound]

Whales are sooo... stupid.

[oldasrocks]

I’ve read that the true North is changing. If this is the case the internal compasses are screwed up in birds and whales so they end up in the wrong spot.

[rfp1234]

Ban all assault beaches now!

[alternatives?]

This stinks.

[GingisK]

True north does not change. Magnetic north, on the other hand, has been drifting ever since we knew how to make and use magnetic compasses.

*sad ping*

[Nailbiter]

you think they will remove using dynamite?

[Nailbiter]

you forgot left blaming on sonar and/or shipping

[SunkenCiv]

Hey, they're called pilot whales, not GPS whales.

On Sunday, 10 pygmy killer whales were found stranded on Ninety Mile Beach

Pygmies must be relieved.
