Whale freed from fishing net has died

On Monday, May 10th a whale was spotted in a shallow harbor at Dana Point near Los Angeles, California. Two days later a disentanglement team from Sea World caught the whale and removed commercial fishing nets and ropes from the whale. The whale appeared to head back out to sea but apparently died later.

The report says that this is the 10th gray whale to die just this season and I find that awful. I think that something needs to be done to slow down the rate of whales that are dying, especially if it is being caused to due fishing nets or human activity and such. That is just completely awful that humans are causing great and huge animals like that to be dying. I know that the fishermen can't do too much with their nets because they can't control where the fish are but I still think something needs to change so that more whales are not being harmed and killed.
