The whale — about a year old — came ashore near the county line, bringing with it crowds of people, curious to see the majestic creature up close.
But with the curiosity also came sadness for some — why did the whale die? How did it end up washed up on the beach?
“I was wondering if it died naturally or if it died from a boat because it looked like he had a lot of cuts on it and that could have been from an engine or something,” said Davenport Milgalter.
Authorities say gray whales are migrating by our coast from Mexico to Alaska right now with hundreds of whales just off shore. They say mom and baby whales will soon start their migration north so boaters need to be careful and give them space. The same goes for the whale now in its final resting place on the beach.
Experts say since they’re not sure how the whale died, it’s best to keep your distance. They’re planning a necropsy for Monday to hopefully get some answers.
Authorities have no plans to move the whale, instead they’re going to let nature dispose of the body.

"...they’re going to let nature dispose of the body." Because dynamite is the wrong answer.

Ahhh, nature us good, nature is always right. Right? Do these people think NOTHING is ever supposed to die? The ocean is full of life that will, one day, croak. The small stuff gets eaten, other stuff has to float up and wash ashore. Circle of life.
Now the leftists in their multi-million dollar beach estates get to see-and SMELL-nature up close. Nothing like the smell of nature in the morning...deep breath!!!

Yes, I now know that. Thanks for clarifying that critical, life or death, concern. Now I can sleep tonight.
