Humanity's Disregard for Marine Life

in nature •  8 years ago 

In Jan. '16, 13 sperm whales washed ashore near the North Sea (Germany). Since then around 30 have washed ashore in different coasts surrounding Europe and Great Britain. Recently, an autoposy revealed that the whales' stomachs were filled with plastic garbage like fishing nets and car parts. Apparently, they died despite their clogged stomachs. 

For a full report, you can visit the German Wadden Sea National Park in Schleswig-Holstein website. For an English report visit the National Geographic

Poor creatures.

@mxu111, it's sad

How much meat. The whales often beaching.

Indeed. When I first saw this pic, I wanted to hug them. Then I realized that would be gross.
