No rescue operation after all: orca that ended up in the Seine is sick and is put to sleep

The orca lost in the Seine has an advanced fungal infection and is being put down. The disease could cause the animal a lot of suffering, said the competent prefecture of Seine-Maritime, based in Rouen. Other weakened mammals can also be infected by the sick orca. The rescue operation, which should lead the animal to the sea, was therefore cancelled.
