The fucking least we could do

Considering that the adolescent whale lost in the Thames probably got lost because our addiction to fossil fuels has continued to pump carbon monoxide into the atmosphere sufficiently to burn a hole in the ozone layer and raise the temperature of various oceans enough that currents which have been running consistently (and thus providing roadmaps for whales) for the last 13,000 years to shift course or disappear altogether and that THIS is probably the reason the poor little bastard got lost swimming upstream against the current through The City, airlifting him out is the fucking least we could do.

Followup from Reuters, 6pm London time: it looks like the poor little guy is going to die. Jesus. How many billions of needless deaths, of all kinds of sentient beings, because of human greed?
