Japanese save the whale - IRONIC ?


Residents of a city not far from one of Japan's last whaling villages have turned out to help a beached whale successfully make its way back to its ocean home, using their hands and a fishing boat. The eight-metre (26-foot) whale was found stranded at Iwanuma, some 300 km (190 miles) north of Tokyo, by a man taking an early morning walk on Saturday.
