The sperm whale that stranded at Blåvandshuk a week ago has now been driven back to sea. Jane Hansen, head of the Environmental Agency, confirmed that the whale had moved further out to the outer reefs, which was anticipated. This development is considered good news, especially as there were concerns about public safety due to many people approaching the whale. The authorities had warned against getting too close as the whale could carry diseases and even explode.

Earlier in the week, the stranded whale drew significant attention, particularly after unknown perpetrators stole its jaw and teeth over the weekend. This incident highlights not only the curiosity and concern surrounding the whale but also the potential threats it faced from human interference. The stealing of the whale's jaw indicates a troubling trend of wildlife crime, which poses risks to marine life and the environment.

In summary, the whale's return to the sea is a positive outcome for conservation efforts, though it brings to light issues regarding human interaction with stranded marine animals. Authorities continue to remind the public of the importance of keeping a safe distance from such creatures to protect both the animals and themselves.
