It has been all over the German media, it, of course, is all in German, but I’ll look something up.
https://www.t-online.de/nachrichten/panorama/tiere/id_101236960/rettung-von-wal-timmy-expertin-rechnet-mit-aktivisten-ab-.html Scathing interview with a veterinarian, who actually has some experience with large whales.
What that article conveniently leaves out: The head veterinarian of those self coined “whale savers” is specialised on small animals (e.g. your cat, guinea pig, and hamster) and has no experience whatsoever with aquatic mammals, let alone large whales. She does like the challenge of trying something new, though, that’s surely gonna make up for the lack of experience. A veterinarian from Hawaii with relevant experience quit the team weeks ago because she was afraid of losing her license back home over assisting those lunatics in their endeavour.
The entire operation is largely a PR stunt by influencers and other questionable characters, tolerated by a spineless and clueless environmental minister who is sacred of causing a shitstorm by doing the right thing, ending the whale’s suffering as quickly as possible.
Spineless weasel with no sense of responsibility. Typical politician.
