Have you seen that photo on Facebook posted by netizens about a big dead whale that was washed ashore in Cavite, Luzon, Philippines?
It was such a lonesome sight! The whale was already dead. decomposing, and its stomach was full of plastics, or all kinds of garbage which probably it had eaten from the sea where it came from.
It is a picture of irresponsibility of people who throw garbage, especially all kinds of plastics, like plastic canisters, plastic containers, plastic bag, and so many other debris that the poor whale probably thought were edible sea creatures, the reason for its death, presumably.
Or it could be that the whale came from a seashore or sea that people used as garbage dump where they throw their garbage; or it could be that some dumpsites were flooded and the trash and other non-biodegradable materials like hard plastics were washed into the sea. When floating around, large fishes, turtles, and other sea creatures like hungry whale sharks will just devour it to fill their hungry stomachs! They did not know that it is deadly, like that poor whale who had eaten so much volume of trash that caused its death!
It is a clear picture of man’s irresponsibility and cruelty to nature; specifically to animals who could not tell if what they will eat could kill them!
Since man has more complex brains, and more intelligent than animals, they should be responsible enough not to scatter their trash just anywhere. Governments even private organizations can do a lot in protecting such sea creatures and other wild animals who are entitled to a clean environment and a clean source of food.
If man will continuously pollute the land and the seas, then time will come that natural foods from the oceans like fish, etc, would be scarce; or man could not eat them because they are contaminated with hazardous wastes like mercury, etc. It is like destroying the food chain.
We can do a lot to save our environment, our natural resources by being responsible and being simple in life. If we do not consume so much goods, then throw away the foil wrappers or containers just anywhere, soon it will pollute the oceans and other bodies of water which is one of the main sources of our food.
We still can do a lot to achieve change; to help the government, or just be conscious enough not to scatter trash anywhere. Simple things can mean a lot to help conserve our natural resources; our wildlife, our seas, the fishes, whales and other sea creatures.

The environmentalist must stop this water pollution. Our fishes may not anymore safe to eat. It is so disgusting. Other countries like New Zealand, their seas are so clean so non toxic.
Good to know about the strict implementation of handling garbage in New Zealand, along with other countries. In the Philippines we have strict laws too, but I wish all the people will follow it, because everyone could be affected if our seas are polluted!
That is the proof how irresponsible people are. We throw the garbage in the sea, in fact, anywhere. Dumping anything as if we are the maker of all the things in this world. Poor whale, the latest victim of human inhumanity.
If only we know how to manage the garbage, there will be no dead whale washed ashore.
It is true, it show's man's inhumanity! If all of us would be responsible enough, we can enjoy pristine waters, clean and cool air, and lots of food on the table. If only we care a lot for the environment.
Its not only the water pollution, All of kinds of pollution which we see in this world is man made.. Just because of someones ignorance, Pollution has reached a stage, where it cannot be fixed in short time..
It is so saddening to see a sea creature who died due to man's irresponsibility! It is cruelty to animals and to man itself because whatever we eat that is taken from polluted sea can be dangerous!
Yes, I saw this news on TV. Poor whale. He has eaten the rubbish by irresponsible people.
Could it be that the people living near the sea are the ones responsible for throwing these garbage? Then, they should be warned in blatantly just throwing their garbages into the sea.
The government with this kind of news should be now making guidelines on how it can be avoided that garbages be thrown into the sea.
If they don't do something about these garbages thrown at the sea, sooner or later the fishes too will be affected and will die from eating them too.
What about the environmentalists, can't they do something to prevent the people from throwing their garbages into the sea?
