Should they have killed the baby whale?

I was so sad to read this story - and kind of glad that I couldn’t watch the video about lost baby whale in Australia
The BBC report that the “Australian wildlife officials have put down an injured baby humpback whale named Colin that began suckling on boats in waters to the north of Sydney”.
The authorities felt that it would be stressful to try and feed it and that it would have died of starvation. Surprisingly the mercy killing has not sparked much response apart from a comment in Chai’s marine blog -
What do you think? Did they do the right thing to give up on him or could this baby have been saved? What could have happend to it’s mother?
