NSW: NPWS finds whale, to put it down

Wildlife authorities have found COLIN .. the baby whale .. and are expected to put it down today.

The injured baby humpback was found motherless and starving in a northern Sydney waterway
earlier this week.

Authorities were unable to find COLIN late last night after deciding to put down the
calf to end it's suffering.

But JOHN DENGATE from the National Parks and Wildlife Service says they've found the
whale which is in very poor condition.
