The history of the orca dead in the Seine in the spring will it be repeated with this lost beluga in the river? The competent authorities are starting to rule out this possibility: they have been observing an improvement in their health for several days. “He started to have a little more dynamic behavior,” said the secretary general of the Eure prefecture, Isabelle Dorliat-Pouzet.

Some questions the possibility of putting the animal to sleep to transport it to colder waters, in which it usually evolves. Sea Shepherd France president Lamya Essemlali explained why this option was unthinkable. “These are animals that breathe consciously, she warned at the microphone of RTL. If you put a dolphin asleep, he no longer breathes and he dies.”
