145 Pilot Whales Die in Mass Stranding in New Zealand:
As many as 145 pilot whales died in a mass stranding on a remote New Zealand island, authorities said on Monday.
The Department of Conservation (DOC) said two pods of pilot whales were stranded on a beach on Stewart Island, 30km off New Zealand's South Island.
The whales were found by a hiker camping in the area who notified the authorities on Saturday night. Half the animals were already dead when they were found by conservation officers who decided to put the rest of the whales down because of their poor condition.
"Sadly, the likelihood of being able to successfully re-float the remaining whales was extremely low," said DOC Rakiura Operations Manager Ren Leppens, adding putting the whales to sleep was the most humane thing to do.
Would these have any value to Japan?

Giggling. Bouncing. It was the very picture of childhood innocence, which Little Freddy embodied to a great degree. Now, what had caused Freddy to be so positively ecstatic? He had made a new friend.
What a joyous day, for a child to make a new friend. He could play all sorts of games with his friend and share many precious moments with them. And that is exactly what he was doing. He giggled, bounced, and played a fun game with his new friend. A game of 'privates,' that is.
The little girl screamed as Freddy smashed his penis deep inside her. However, her screams only caused the boy to become even more excited and violent. As the boy held her down and violated her, he began beating her with a little wooden hammer. Now, the hammer may have been little and wooden, but that doesn't mean it couldn't inflict tremendous pain upon those in its trajectory. Indeed, the little girl learned that all too well.
The pain she experienced was extraordinary, but so too was the amount of joy Little Freddy extracted from his new friend's suffering. Violated, beaten, and bleeding, the little girl's existence eventually faded into a state of absolute silence. Freddy, disappointed in his new friend's excessive fragility, became furious and beat on the motionless body that he could enjoy no longer. What would he do now? What would Little Freddy do? Just then, he had an idea.
He would find a new friend. No, he would find several friends, and play 'privates' with them all! Freddy recalled that several little girls lived in a house a few houses away from his own...

Knocking. Thomson heard a knocking sound from outside his front door. What he found strange was that the knocking almost sounded "fleshy," for lack of a better term. Thomson decided to open his front door to investigate.
What he saw when he opened his door was a man on top of a woman, violently raping and beating her. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. This was happening right in front of him, in broad daylight. The rapist briefly looked up at Thomas, smiled, and told him that he was forced to apprehend her when she tried escaping from him. At this moment, Thomson understood. Thomson had always been a staunch feminist and a believer in the notion of equality between the sexes. However, he now understood.
Feminism? Equality? Rubbish, all of it. Thomson knew. The man knew that a woman's proper place was under a man, squealing. What a fool he had been. If only he had twisted his head sideways in the past, he could have seen The Tower. He broke down in tears in the face of the revolutionary insights that entered his brain.
That day, a man reached True Enlightenment.

Look at this story, the al jazeera version is almost the exact same thing as the nz herald one, except with the info to give the event context stripped out. I also noticed the time is missing for this story although al jazeera shows it for others.

Save your "freedom fries" comments for the Yanks, boyo! Seem there is something in New Zealand waters throwing off whale nav systems on a regular basis. American Sub Sonar? (That's "George Soros", for you alt-right types!) Or, perhaps, on the edges of possibility, could it be that ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn?

Not to intentionally scare anyone. Did you hear about the death asteroid in 2023? Just after the death President of 2020! Cthulhu/Voldemort 2020! Stop settling for the lesser evil! Steve Miller approved this message, and the tear-gassing of children and pregnant women, and the separation of parents and children, and the intentional running over of kittens with Hummers. Steve Miller!
