Sperm Whale found dead with trash in its digestive system in Spain
About 64 pounds of garbage was found lodged inside the mammals digestive system.
(Web Desk) – A young male sperm whale discovered dead off the coast of Spain from ingesting a huge quantity of trash, Huffington Post reported.
According to the newspaper, about 64 pounds of garbage — including plastic bags, ropes, fishing nets and a drum — was found lodged inside the mammal’s digestive system.
The 32-foot-long whale was discovered near the small resort of Cabo de Palos in the southeast Murcia region.
The animal’s tragic death has prompted Murcia’s regional government, alongside the European Environmental Association and the European Fund for Regional Development, to launch a campaign against ocean waste.
