“Although they are natural occurrences, they are still sad and difficult for those helping.” “These events are tough, challenging situations,” the Department of Conservation wrote in a Facebook post. The deaths come two weeks after about 200 pilot whales died in Australia after stranding themselves on a remote Tasmanian beach. The Department of Conservation said 232 whales stranded themselves Friday at Tupuangi Beach and another 245 at Waihere Bay on Monday. The whales beached themselves on the Chatham Islands, which are home to about 600 people and located about 800 kilometers (500 miles) east of New Zealand’s main islands. None of the stranded whales could be refloated and all either died naturally or were euthanized in a “heartbreaking” loss, said Daren Grover, the general manager of Project Jonah, a nonprofit group which helps rescue whales. Some 477 pilot whales have died after stranding themselves on two remote New Zealand beaches over recent days, officials say.
