On November 1, a crowd of 200 plus Tampa Bay residents eagerly gathered alongside the beach to view the spectacle of a dying beached whale.

Marine biologists from Florida State University could not conclude what caused the sea-mammal to go astray from its pod.

They assured the crowd that there was nothing they could do to save the creature’s life, so they might as well stick around and enjoy the show.
 
Jill Morgan brought her kids to the whale because they were bored. “My children had never experienced watching a living thing die in front of them, so now’s as good a time as ever.”

She added, “My son, DJ, is having fun eating his Halloween candy he brought and is behaving like a good little boy for his first beached whale.”

The spectators watched the whale breathe its final breath and moved onto their normal routines.

The dedicated fans who stuck around were rewarded as the carcass was disposed of via dynamite.
