Actually, that whale has been dead even longer, it was dead, shark-bait & rotting March 6th in Hilo.
It amazed me that Dr. Turner had to issued the warning about approaching, collecting &/or climbing on the carcass in March (even though dead, the permits are still needed), but people will do that, even with the awful stench, not to mention the disease & flies & such....and it is that much more decayed now! YUUUCCKKK!
For the folks in Kapoho, let us all hope for a tide tide with favorable winds, SOON (hopefully this weekend...).
