FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A giant excavator has begun moving the carcass of a whale that was washed out of a Sydney ocean pool last night.
National Parks and Wildlife authorities are using the 14-tonne machine to drag the body of the 10m humpback further up Newport Beach so it can be cut in pieces.
The dead whale was found lodged in the ocean pool early Wednesday and soon became a local attraction with crowds gathering to view the unusual sight.
The high tide washed it out of the pool late on Wednesday evening and it ended up on the beach yesterday morning.
National Parks and Wildlife spokesman Geoff Ross said once the whale was moved to a safe location the 20-30 tonne carcass would be cut up.
“The plan is to use chainsaws to cut the animal up into smaller segments so it can be transported,” he told ninemsn.
Council authorities had erected a barrier around the whale carcass but there were no plans to shield the whale from public view while it was being cut up, Mr Ross said.
“It’s a dead whale and animals die. I see no reason to cover it up. We really do believe in respecting the whale and I think the community see that and are happy with that,” he said.
Once the whale is ready to be transported it will be taken to a tip for disposal.
Although there were three whale cemeteries in NSW, burial spaces were usually reserved for endangered whale species where the skeletal remains could be of use to the Australian museum, Mr Ross said.
The whale is believed to have died three to five days ago, probably of natural causes such as a respiratory tract infection.
Earlier today, local residents complained the whale carcass was creating an unpleasant smell on the beach.
Witness Fergus Woolveridge said the whale was creating a “wall of smell like an entire fish shop gone off”.
