Not quite sure I agree with you all on this one. I'm sure that the vets, experts, etc., assessed the situation and decided that this whale had a ?% chance of survival; and any chance is better than no chance. They didn't know the extent of its injuries and,yes, did become a public spectacle (not that the whale would care much). Also sure politics came into this judgement too, and cost of public money would have been considered. If they had not done anything, would you not being asking 'Why not ?'
One would hope that a Human Being would have been given this hope.
Can't say for sure, but feel that it was ensured that this creature's last journey was pain free. Hope so anyway.
