107 pilot whales have died after becoming beached on a remote island off the south of New Zealand. Authorities were alerted when a pair of hikers discovered the whales. About half were still alive at the time, but were euthanised to ease their suffering. Time constraints and an approaching storm made it unfeasible to rescue the creatures.
