It seems that there is a dead whale rotting near the Malibu homes of big time liberals, Barbra Streisand and Bob Dylan, as well as some other celebrities and is causing somewhat of a cleanup problem as authorities try to figure out just who's responsible for getting rid of it. Los Angeles County lifeguards planned to try to pull the 40,000-pound carcass out to sea at high tide, said Cindy Reyes, executive director of the California Wildlife Center. But fire Inspector Brian Riley said that's unlikely to work. "You would need a tug boat to drag it out to sea," Riley told City News Service in a report Thursday. Riley added, "It is entrenched in the sand and impossible to tow free even at high tide." He went on to say, "Burial at low tide will be difficult as well as land removal. It's in an area with bad access."
Demonstrating runaway bureaucracy at its best, the city was not sure who would do the job, spokeswoman Olivia Damavandi said. The Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors was not responsible for disposing of the more than 40-foot body, said Carol Baker, who represents the agency. "It's on a private beach" controlled by homeowners down to the high tide line and the state is responsible for the tidelands, Baker said. The young male fin whale washed up Monday between Paradise Cove and Point Dume, near the homes of the rich and stupid, including Streisand and Dylan. The whale may have been hit by a ship and had a gash to its back and a damaged spine, according to results of a necropsy conducted Tuesday by the wildlife center.
"It's relatively common for it to happen. It's really unfortunate," Reyes told the Los Angeles Times. Such accidents have become more common as increased numbers of migrating blue, fin and humpback whales swim to California's shore to feast on shrimp-like krill. Fin whales are endangered and about 2,300 live along the West Coast. Oh, oh, and a member of an endangered species no less, and actually having the nerve to wash up on a beach owned by rich, holier-than-thou, Hollywood liberals. How dare it do such a dastardly thing. I guess it must not have realized how special these folks see themselves as being, and that dead animals just aren't supposed to wash up their beach, only on the beaches populated by the unwashed masses. My oh my, now what are they to do?
