For one, its not a Stranded whale!! Its a BEACHED DEAD WHALE that should of been towed out of the Cook Inlet area so it can be where it belongs, In the ocean. Once more the necessary agencies aren't doing their jobs as expected! What is wrong with these government besides inefficient & negligent these days?? The proper thing to do is tow this out of the area & rid the hazard. Oh, but that cost money & this is a dead beached whale & its endangered. WTF?? There is no problem with this endangered beached (not stranded) DEAD mammal! The only problem is the Lazy Ass agencies (NOAA/Fisheries) not being responsible! Is that to tough to figure out? Its a simple task to do, but knowing the government agency that is responsible (now that's a wrong statement to make!!) to get this cared for. But take a simple task & make it more expensive then the Exon Valdez spill. Our government agencies are a joke to even try & get anything accomplished with them. You know paperwork & this & that LOL !!!!!!
