Millionaires fund dramatic mission to save Timmy the stranded whale

A special barge carrying a humpback whale dubbed 'Timmy' has entered Danish waters and is expected to reach the North Sea within days after a privately funded rescue backed by millionaires.But the dramatic operation has split opinion, with biologists questioning whether the animal should have been saved at all.'I believe the whale will die very soon now. And I would also like to raise the question: What is actually so bad about that?' said Thilo Maack, a marine biologist at Greenpeace, earlier this month.'Yes, animals live, animals die. This animal is really, really, very, very, very sick. And it has decided to seek rest.'
