The carcass of a dead sperm whale that washed up on a beach in Pacifica was tagged with graffiti bearing the name of a local Bay Area gang.
The graffiti, which spelled out "East Bay Rats Motorcycle Club" in what appeared to be white spray paint, was erased by Wednesday's high tide along the Sharp Park State Beach south of San Francisco.
But photos posted online showed the graffiti scrawled across the whale's body. Several visitors to the beach told NBC Bay Area they deplored the action, with one visitor saying the whale's body should have been left to rest in peace. Efforts to reach the East Bay Motorcycle Club for comment were unsuccessful.
A dead whale that washed ashore on Pacifica beach was defaced with graffiti.
The 50-foot whale washed up on Tuesday.
Marine experts still dont know how it died. Early indications show no signs of a ship strike, broken bones or a blunt force trauma.
Biologists are still trying to determine what they will do with the carcass. They may bury it on the beach or drag it back out to sea.
A spokeswoman for the Marine Mammal Center, whose veterinarian and marine biologists performed a necropsy on the whale, told The Associated Press that 17 dead sperm whales have washed up on California's northern coast in the 40 years since they have dealt with such cases.
Necropsy results are expected in a couple of weeks.
A Big Rolling Stones Fan...Ive heard!!
Better yet put "property of" on it. Property patches indicate a member's old lady.
Gawd I loathe envirowhackos who place such "importance" on dead sea animals...the thing would have fed hundreds of sea creatures, nature's way.
Sushi.
In this case, how did envirowhackos prevent it from feeding sea creatures?
I didn’t say they did...they want it to “rest in peace” by being left alone...
In the ocean, it wouldn’t have been “resting in peace”, but in digestible pieces...
Are you an environmentalist or a conservationist?
There is a very distinct difference.
LMAO
Whatever.
It’s dead Jim...
LOL
Oh my gosh, how disrespectful! Quick someone call Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein and Sanchez and see if we can get an investigation going. Gaia must be avenged for this insult! Damn mooslims killing Christians and Jews but I gotta worry about someone tagging a dead whale, let me know when they spray paint a live one that’s sounding, then I’ll be impressed.
They are also heavy supporters of vets and the military.
It’s showing up on their page, I see.
It would be even funnier if they left room for the “Prospect” rocker on the bottom.
All motorcycle gangs call themselves “motorcycle clubs”, even the Hell’s Angels and Outlaws.
Occupy types...or some other leftist lowlifes wishing to smear the club, did the spray painting Im thinking. Heavens knows there are enough of that tyoe in the bay area to cause plenty of trouble for Real Americans
I would suggest dynamite - https://youtu.be/ZFwxH3PPWiU
