A decision was made to humanely euthanise the whale on Tuesday morning in an operation carried out by the Police under the guidance of marine scientists and vets on the scene…
The carcass was taken to the regional landfill site at Humansdorp to be disposed of.
The reason why the whale washed up on Kabeljous beach is unknown.
