337 Dead Whales In Chile Is Worst Case Of Mass Deaths So Far
As world leaders gather in Paris to discuss a future free from Ecocide, researchers report the biggest mass whale death known to science.
In the most shocking case of mass animal deaths to date, 337 endangered Sei whales have been found dead in Southern Chile.
According to Chilean news agencies. the whales were discovered by scientists on November 17, but only now has the mass death been reported to the authorities (and leaked to the press). In May, in the same part of the Aysen region, biologist Vreni Haussermann discovered 30 dead Sei whales. Baffled scientists suggested at the time that the deaths might have been caused by a virus, and promised to launch an investigation.
