Sri Lanka’s navy and volunteers have rescued 120 pilot whales stranded in the country’s worst mass beaching, but at least two injured animals were found dead, officials said.

Sailors from the navy and the coastguard along with local volunteers had pulled back at least 120 whales by dawn on Tuesday after a gruelling overnight rescue operation, navy spokesman Indika de Silva said.

“We used our small inshore patrol craft to pull the whales one by one back into deeper waters,” De Silva told AFP. 

“It is very unusual for such a large number to reach our shores,” the MEPA chief, Dharshani Lahandapura, told AFP, adding that the cause of the stranding was not known.

I really hope one day, we can achieve a good human-rights level so we can have animal rights too.
