What do you do when a whale dies?
WHAT do you do when a whales dies. I’ve only seen one dead whale washed up on a beach. The Dorset officials called it Gilbert. It lay on the beach looking big and dark. Windbreaks were erected around it , as if to protect its dignity. It was then cut up by experts. I never saw anyone stand on it:
