1/5/2006: Beached whale removal, New Zealand

I really don't know what it is with IotD and whales, but here's yet another whale feature.

This is part of a massive whale beaching in New Zealand. IotD has covered New Zealand whale beaching before - in this case, 120 pilot whales beaches themselves, and conservationists saved most of them, but these few didn't and they have to be managed somehow. Even if it's sad, it's also interesting to see what they have to do, getting heavy equipment out and lining them up for removal.
