Dead whale was shot with a harpoon gun

Gulfnews: Dead whale was shot with a harpoon gun:

"Dubai: The dead whale which washed ashore at Al Mamzar Beach last week was shot four times with a harpoon gun, said a Dubai Municipality official."

A 35 foot Bryde's whale was found dead on the beaches of Al Mamzar last Thursday. Whales and other marine life are protected in Gulf waters so people are more than unhappy to find this wahle has been deliberately killed. I hope they can track down the offenders. It's not a common occurrence for this to happen in Dubai. I don't know that it has happened before. Certainly the airport operations manager who found it had never seen one there before. Bryde's whales are an endangered species so whoever did kill it had little regard for life or the significance of destroying something already under threat. I hope they find them, I really do.
