Large amount of garbage found in stomach of dead whale

OLYMPIA, Wash. -- Biologists who examined a gray whale that died after stranding on a West Seattle beach say it had a large amount of garbage in its stomach -- ranging from a pair of sweat pants to a golf ball.
The scientists say most of the whale's stomach contents was algae -- typical of the bottom-feeding mammals. But they say a surprising amount of human debris was found. Besides the pants and golf ball, there were more than 20 plastic bags, small towels, duct tape and surgical gloves.
The 37-foot whale stranded last Wednesday. Biologists took a large number of samples, but say the results from the examination won't be known for weeks or months.
Research biologist John Calambokidis says all the debris can at least serve as a reminder of our impact on the Puget Sound.
"Even with all our awareness and attempts to improve the Sound, there is still quite a legacy of our past behavior and current behavior that still exists down there on the bottom," he said.

Humans are a disgrace. To hell with them all - mother earth - wash your hands of them all.
Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis
I can't believe there are still so many egocentric dumbfucks out there who believe we shouldn't protect the environment! :evil:
+1 ... People are going to willingly fish species like the bluetin tuna into extinction because its their tradition to eat sushi, while at the same time poisoning the very same food source. Lab rats have better developed survival instincts than a lot of humans do.
i agree with humans being dumb - humans of all cultures - and i REALLY REALLY hate the global warming 'debate' because people seem to have the notion that climate change is our only thing to worry about. So they say, oh experts say global warming is a farce - therefore I don't have to take responsibility for the plastic in the ocean and the extinction of species.
everything from throwing shit in the ocean to picking up Doritos bags off my front yard everyday :twisted:
nothing annoys me more then litter, becuase it is easy to prevent and pure laziness
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
the worst is when you see people litter so close to a trash can! like walking 5 feet would kill them. especially smokers that flick their butts into the street or grass instead of walking over to the ash tray thing
