A sperm whale was found washed ashore dead after swallowing 64 pounds of plastic debris. The male sperm whale was found on the Murcian coast in southern Spain in late February, reminding us how critical plastic waste in the oceans has become. After investigating, the El Valle Wildlife Rescue Center determined that the sperm whale was killed by gastric shock to its stomach and intestines after ingesting 64 pounds of plastic. The autopsy found plastic bags, nets, ropes, plastic sacks, and even a plastic jerrycan in the whale's stomach and intestines.

I'm sure this is completely feasible, but that picture looks staged as all get out.

I thought whales were smart and shite. Guess it wasn’t so smart, even I know not to eat plastic stuff.

That doesn’t even look like a real sperm whale. I think that’s a fake, created by Greenpeace.

They say in the link that the photo is of a peacefest exhibit thing and a representation of story.

Fake news. Doesn't even look digested. And who would eat a Jerry can. Idiot whale.

You know that's not a real whale, right?

It's spelled 'Murica, and it's not in Spain.

That whale has baleen. Sperm whales are toothed whales.

Pretty resourceful of the locals to use it as a receptacle.

The actual whale that was found in Murcia Spain dead from plastic. Not the first and not the last.

Well there are literally islands of trash floating in the ocean. Unbelievable.

For a second I was worried something happened to Kate Upton
