Still Waters Posted December 8, 2012 #1 Share Posted December 8, 2012 A dead 40,000lbs whale has been washed ashore on the beachfront town in California close to the homes of Bob Dylan and Barbra Streisand – and nobody wants to get rid of it. A dispute has erupted over the rotting 40ft long carcase because it is on a private beach and local authorities refuse to get involved. But as the bickering continues the whale has begun to decompose, giving it a hideous appearance that is attracting crowds of onlookers. Some well-heeled residents also fear that it could start attracting sharks and make it impossible to swim in the water. http://www.telegraph...ome-owners.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q-C Posted December 8, 2012 #3 Share Posted December 8, 2012 "One option probably not being considered was when a giant whale washed ashore.The mammal was blown up using dynamite in the hopes it would blast it into the water, causing huge chunks to land up to one mile away and flattening cars." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Greenman Posted December 8, 2012 #4 Share Posted December 8, 2012 If you want to live on a private beach then you have to deal with what washes up. I got no sympathy for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CuriousGreek Posted December 8, 2012 #6 Share Posted December 8, 2012 If this beach is private, then they should deal with it themselves. That's the way it goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
