A young humpback whale found entangled in fishing net has died after grounding itself on White Rock beach south of Vancouver.

Department of Fisheries and Oceans marine mammal co-ordinator Paul Cottrell said the severely emaciated young whale was first spotted as water receded from the sandy, tidal flats early Tuesday morning.

Cottrell said the eight- to 10-metre-long juvenile died just hours after beaching itself.

“It had been struggling for a long time and likely hadn’t been eating for a long time,” he said.

What would be the "proper" way of getting rid of a beached whale.

TNT must have sounded like a great idea back in the day :P

[SoulCrusher]

feed it to the homeless.

I'm guessing tow it back into the sea, let nature deal with it as if the whale died of natural causes

[jepho]

i heard they were hauling it off and putting it in a marsh somewhere to naturally decompose.

the fox radio station was trying to sell poor wally the whale. Not sure if they got a bidder or not. I drove by it this morning but there was a crowd blocking my view. I've never had whale meat but it must be edible. Give it to a homeless shelter and make whale stir fry or something. So much wasted meat. Poor wally. His parents must be worried sick.

End up floating back on shore.


They start decomposing and expanding, eventually they explode themselves or we cut a hole and let it evacuate the gases naturally.

A leisurely 5 minute drive from home down to the beach this morning. Beached whale takes priority over going to class :troll:

fixed.

Some of us have a fascination for whales and other large animals, whether the animal is dead or alive.

The first couple pics akinari-kun posted looks like zombies walking towards the whale and picking it apart and eating it. lols

[Akinari]

LOL totally didn't notice that.

[El Bastardo]

Will any of the sponsors make custom upholstery out of a custom piece of material I bring in? I have an idea.....

[MindBomber]

feed it to the homeless.

Pretty sure that would violate international whaling treaties, but then again, they could take two measurements, call it research, then cut it up and sell it, circumventing the treaties Japanese style.

Poor guy, suffering for so long...

[StylinRed]

should totally cut it up and eat it/sell it/donate it

[FOB Mainlander]

Send it to Japan so they can kill one less whale

[TRDood]

How to tell male whale? Found the dork? :troll:

Rare sad sight.

wat if it exploded on everyone

[PiuYi]

i'm glad people had the decency to put flowers on the whale

not for any ceremonious reason, but just to teach the kids there to respect nature



**2000th post!!! thankyou revscene!

[Akinari]

So apparently they towed the whale away, keeping it submerged and officials will be conducting autopsies and possibly take the bones out and stick it in a museum.

Maybe there's a titleist in the blowhole, RIP ex gf :(
