FYI: Baby Humpback Whale - Euthanized

Picture taken from: dailymail.co.uk
It such a sad and heartbreaking picture to see that this orphanage three-week-old baby humpback whale (named 'Colin'), after a week found separated from its mother, had to be euthanized by Australian Officials and then loaded to a truck like a garbage.

It might be a very difficult decision to put down the baby whale, which normally can't survive without its mother. But the question is: Is it really no way to keep it alive with human's existing technology and knowledge? Or, Isn't is possible to let it die naturally without need to 'murder' it?
