That's the thing, most of the public wants to spend millions on saving this one calf, despite the fact experts are saying nothing can be done. Hearing things like feed it through a hose through a hole in the bow, like some ship or whale is going to sit there in port for the next 11 months until the time we start shipping krill from Antartica!! All reason goes out the window when the fluffy bunny looks hurt. Of course it's being politized now and the navy has made itself available, a special vet has been flown in just so everyone can say "oh we did everything we can" so we can all sleep better at night??? WTF? Why do people go so silly over things like this? There's no public outcry about the thousands of dogs or cats euthanised every month from people dumping them but I bet you if you put a lame dog on the news you'd be getting hundreds of calls. I must be missing something (the ranters will call it compassion i'm sure despite the fact events like this happen everyday).
