RIP Colleen
sue August 22nd, 2008
I am disgusted and very deeply saddened by the events that have unfolded over the last few days in Sydney Harbour. Would we all just sit back and watch ‘nature take its course’ if the animal in question was a human baby? We had the power and the will to try to feed this baby. The Aussie spirit is to have a go and never give up. If trying to feed Colleen didn’t work, then euthanasing her many days ago would have been the humane thing to do! I have lost total faith in our ability to make any sensible decision quickly and efficiently in this overly burdened bureacracy in which I find myself living!
I found this which is a very moving story of the successful rescue and feeding and raising and eventual release of another baby whale called JJ in San Diego. If they could succeed so many years ago why couldn’t we at least have tried.

Some times you can’t help and the best thing to do is kill. This is just nature. Sad but true!
