主题：澳洲千人拯救百六搁浅鲸鱼的动人故事
内容：
【本报综合报道】鲸鱼和海豚拯救海员的报道时有所闻，故如果鲸鱼和海豚有难，人类也应伸出援手。澳洲就发生这样动人的故事，逾千志愿者周四成功帮助大约160尾在澳洲西南部海域搁浅的伪虎鲸回到深海，只有一头鲸鱼在海滩上死亡。
仅一条不幸罹难
这批鲸鱼大多数是周四上午在南澳州省首府珀斯以南230公里处的两处海滩上搁浅。这批伪虎鲸最小的约1.5米长，最大的约5米左右。
在政府一呼百应下，逾千名志愿者和有关部门工作人员自发赶往现场参与营救。目前正值澳洲初冬季节，珀斯的气温一般在摄氏10到20度之间，水中温度更低。
为了在恶劣天气出现前使鲸鱼获救，营救者不怕困难，遵循专业人士的指导，把搁浅的鲸鱼移正躯体；为保持鲸鱼的身体湿润和血液循环系统正常，志愿者不断替鲸鱼按摩。一些志愿者为在第一线的营救者送来热咖啡、汤和三文治。许多鲸鱼被营救者用网拉回到海里。
除了死亡的一尾鲸鱼外，当搁浅鲸鱼在营救者的努力下都返回大海后，欣喜若狂的营救者们激动得互相拥抱、欢呼。

No sign of whales after dramatic rescue
21:58 AEST Fri Jun 3 2005
AAP
A pod of whales that became stranded on a West Australian beach has not been spotted since being herded back into deep waters, giving authorities hope the mammals will continue their journey safely.
The Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) said a post-mortem examination on the only false killer whale not to survive the ordeal in Geographe Bay at Busselton, 230km south of Perth, revealed a heavy loading of parasites.
CALM regional wildlife officer Warwick Roe said the poor health of that whale could have led the rest of the pod into the bay where about 80 of the animals became beached in two groups less than one kilometre apart.
A further 20 whales were swimming in dangerously shallow waters for much of the day after the main group came ashore about 8am (WST).
More than 1,500 volunteers responded to an urgent call for assistance and shortly after 3.30pm Thursday the pod was herded back to sea by a flotilla of boats.
Spotter planes scouring the coastline reported no further strandings and Mr Roe said the post-mortem examination results gave them added hope the whale pod would not beach again.
"There was a heavy parasitic loading in the intestinal tract - more than what would normally be expected in a healthy animal," Mr Roe said.
"Most animals carry some sort of parasites in them but this one had a heavy load - predominantly worms - and where they have autopsied animals that have died in these sorts of strandings that is a fairly common thread. A lot of them have got a heavy loading of parasites."
Blood was also found in the animal's stomach but that was not uncommon in whales, Mr Roe said.
"It would be fairly safe to say it was suffering from the intestinal worm issue and probably some other illness perhaps associated with that," he said.
Further blood testing is yet to be carried out but other stranding events had shown whales pods will gather round to support a sick animal in shallow waters, putting them all in danger.
WA Environment Minister Judy Edwards said the massive rescue effort sent a strong message to Japan that people do not want commercial whale harvesting.
The International Whaling Commission is due to meet in South Korea next week to consider lifting the 20-year ban on commercial whaling.
Japan wants the commission to allow it to increase its scientific whaling in Antarctic waters but Australia is lobbying against such a move.
"This is an amazing reflection of the depth of feeling people in Western Australia have for our marine life, especially whales," Dr Edwards said.
"While governments can attempt to persuade Japan to drop its whaling operations under the pretence of science at a political level, the people involved in the rescue have sent an even more potent message.
"(Thursday's) effort is a clear message to the world - Japan, stop the slaughter."
Dr Edwards acknowledged the contribution of the volunteers, CALM staff and support organisations who assisted with the rescue in cold and difficult conditions.
"Their efforts were absolutely outstanding, particularly given the number of animals involved and the incredibly short time in which they were able to return the whales to sea," she said.

跟贴：决不能让巨鲸侵害我国领海一根毫毛
强烈呼吁我英勇无所谓的海军将士沿我领海边防线安装防鲸网,再架上机关炮,荷枪实弹(催尿瓦斯,辣椒水,胡椒面,山西陈醋,京味灌肠,四川麻辣鸡,狼心狗肺, 醋溜绵羊尾,马鞭.........),誓将来犯者围堵拦截在领海之外,将入侵意图扼杀在萌芽状态! 否则,若让他们的企图得逞,在我国海疆内横冲直撞,胡吃海塞,恣意糟蹋粮食,特别是糟蹋大量海鲜,其后果很严重,我们很生气! 况且还要烦我们费九鲸二鲨之力加以驱赶.................. 同志们,你们说,我们能答应吗?
画外音: 中国人民坚决不答应! (愤怒声讨之声不绝于耳...............)

跟贴：这样最好。
前几天参加一个朋友的婚礼，婚礼中新娘向他的新郎（荷兰人）及新郎朋友（不知国籍）介绍我们有几个人是她的潜水界的朋友，他们觉得很有意思。其中一个外国友人建议，如果我们再次计划潜水的话，是否有可能尽量先考虑海啸受灾的地区。因为那里很多的人，从事着旅游行业，他们非常渴望这份工作。我们付出一点点，能帮助他们尽快的走出阴影。
我听后，惭愧！他比我的心胸更广阔，更富有爱心。

跟贴：小平你好：
告诉你个不好的情况，最近以来我发现，现在在很多地方吃鱼翅正在形成一种风尚，成为很多地方招待客人是否热情的一个标志，我们大家任重道远呀！另外香港那边保护鲨鱼的情况如何？

跟贴：都预计到要短时间改变好几百年的饮食传统绝不容易. 特?在国?经济物质不断上升而公德环保意识不能同时进步,情?越来越差也不出奇. 希望大家都尽力而为,能做多少便多少. 能让更多人提升公德环保意识之余,个人亦会更问心无愧心安理得.
香港今年年尾会开迪士尼主题公园. 迪士尼公园会办婚宴作招来,为迎合中国人婚宴传统,不少都含鱼翅这道菜. 这事件"暴光"后引起不少公众传媒和环保酵织抗议. 迪士尼公园回应不会取消鱼翅这菜色,只会把鱼翅这不环保和不人道的信息告诉婚宴的顾客.
我们希望在香港借着迪士尼鱼翅婚宴这新闻,让公众和传媒对滥杀鲨鱼更了解和关注. 如果国?传媒也加入批评迪士尼这只顾商业利益的做法,妄顾公德和环保,相信会更能引起关注.
我们一於里应外合,加强对抗吃鱼翅这歪风 :)

跟贴：WildAid 对迪士尼有关食鱼翅的信件：
对于最近香港迪士尼乐园不负责任地推广食鱼翅，大家又是时候提出阁下反对的声音了。
2005年5月18日英文虎报刊登一篇有关香港迪士尼乐园的报道，内容提到香港迪士尼为吸引新人到其主题公园举行婚宴，推出一系列菜单，当中包括了婚宴常用的鱼翅。与此同时，香港迪士尼却在网页上自夸自己的“迪士尼环保行动”，以及透过“迪士尼保护野生动物基金”参与保护野生动物的工作。据他们所讲，基金主要投放在“生物热点”──拥有丰富动植物而濒临被破坏的地区：即使不是甚么“热点”，鲨鱼亦应被介定为濒临绝种动物。
迪士尼香港正筹备2005年12月开幕。为吸引传媒对其主题公园的兴趣，开幕前的数个月都有很多推广活动。他们然不想一些负面消息让他们的推广活动留下一点瑕疵，尤其若他们的产品与“迪士尼环保行动”的定位有所抵触。我们正可藉此呼吁迪士尼的管理层将鱼翅剔出他们婚宴的菜单。我们要使他们正视及正确处理此事。
我希望各位可以花数分钟时间来发讯给以下人仕，诚恳地要求他们将鱼翅剔出他们的菜单：
迪士尼世界首席行政主任Mr. Michael Eisner: michael.eisner@disney.com
香港迪士尼小组总经理Mr. Don Robinson: don.robinson@disney.com
香港迪士尼市场及销售部副主任Mr. Roy Hardy: roy.hardy@disney.com
香港迪士尼企业通讯Ms Irene Chan: irene.chan@disney.com
公共事务部hkdl.mousemail@disney.com
美国迪士尼企业通讯TWDC.CorpCommunications@disney.com
这里有一些大家可以引用的论点：
* 很多品种的鲨鱼都因过份捕杀而濒临绝种
*鲨鱼经常被切去鱼鳍(鱼翅)后，活生生地被掉回海里
*亚洲地区对鱼翅的需求是全球鲨鱼数目减少的主因
*香港的鱼翅贸易是全球最大的
*鱼翅在南中国曾经是极少数人的奢侈品，但现在已经大量出产及成为全球各类宴会惯常出现的菜式
*在2004年，超过250种鲨鱼被IUCN列入《 濒 危 物 种 红 色 名 录 》
*最近有研究发现西北大西洋的鲨鱼数目急剧减少。自1986年起锤头鲨减少89%、长尾鲨减少80%、白鲨减少79%、虎鲨减少65%。除了一种鲨鱼，其余有纪录的品种在过去8至15年间数目减少超过50%。
*有海洋科学家指出，鲨鱼数目持续减少会对其他鱼类造成可怕的后果，当中包括我们会食用的鱼类。
*鲨鱼是动物世界繁殖得最慢的品种之一。很多种鲨鱼需要很多年才有繁殖能力、妊娠期长达22个月、而且每次只会生很少下一代。
希望大家都能尽一分力。对于以上事情如有任何疑问，可随时联络我wu@wildaid.org。
