Good Samaritans Rescue Stranded Whales
Two men in Nova Scotia, Mark Rankin and Grant Cameron, rescued three stranded pilot whales on a beach.
Time was of the essence when they arrived at the beach, as low tide was approaching and the whales were in danger.
"We stripped down to our briefs and did the best we could,"
said Rankin, explaining that they had to get into the water to save the whales and couldn't do so in full winter clothes.
- Three pilot whales were stranded on the beach at 9 a.m.
- The Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans had been called, but the men weren't sure they would arrive in time.
- Rankin and Cameron set aside their plans to help a friend and took action to rescue the whales.
