On Wednesday morning in Australia, which is 14 hours ahead of the eastern time zone in the U.S., the wildlife service said 51 whales died overnight and more than 100 staff personnel and 250 volunteers were trying to keep the remaining 45 whales alive.

Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions officers and veterinarians later decided to euthanize the remaining whales “to avoid prolonging their suffering,” the wildlife service said on Facebook.
