A young whale that was washed up in the Philippines has died from gastric shock after consuming rubbish. 40Kg of plastic bags, including 16 rice sacks and 4 banana plantation style bags have been found from its stomach during the autopsy. The biologists have said that it is important to stop treating the seas as dumpsters as it kills hundreds of marine animals including dolphins, pilot whale and sea turtles every year.
