Solution for the scenario of beached whales.....

It's a natural culling of whales when this happens. So, instead of volunteers trying to coddle them and pet them and shove them back into the ocean, why not use them to feed the needy?
Form teams of food preparers and cooks to send to the scene and begin the process. Collect the food, cook it or freeze it, provide the product to the needy and be done with it. The non food item parts can be harvested for other products or pushed back into the ocean for food for marine life.
Problem solved and everyone wins.
