Cheynes Beach, Jul 27 (EFE).- Australian authorities confirmed Thursday that they have euthanized 43 pilot whales that were stranded, along with 54 others that died the previous day, on a beach in the southwest of the country.

Peter Hartley, of the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions in Western Australia - where the incident occurred -, said the operation did not go as well as they hoped as they did not get the desired results in trying to save the whales. (Camera: HANDOUT).
