A SIX-year-old male sperm whale measuring 45 feet and weighing approximately 30 tons was discovered dead at about 05.30 hrs yesterday after it washed ashore at the Kitty seawall.
The whale was first spotted on Sunday in the Mahaicony area,where it was caught in the net of a fisherman who immediately reported the sighting to the relevant authorities after his efforts to free the gigantic mammal proved futile.

WHALE IN DISTRESS
And even if it were spotted during the course of the search, no attempt could have been made to rescue it, as no one in Guyana is trained to rescue a whale in distress. According to Ms Annette Arjoon-Martins, who is conversant with such matters, whales in distress can be very violent and can kill humans in the process.

The Guyana Chronicle understands that the search for the whale, after it got entangled in the net and disappeared on Sunday, continued late Monday evening by the relevant agencies but to no avail.

Residents living in the vicinity of the Kitty Market are upset at the failure of City Hall to empty a garbage skip in the area.
The skip which collects garbage from the market has reportedly not been emptied since Tuesday and garbage has overflowed onto Shell Road
