One gloomy morning, coastal villagers discovered the lifeless body of a massive whale washed ashore, lying still on the sand. It was a gray whale weighing nearly 15 tons, its body bruised and battered, eyes wide open—as if still waiting for something… a miracle, or perhaps a more peaceful rest beneath the ocean’s depths.
When conservationists arrived, they noticed its belly was unnaturally bloated. The postmortem examination later revealed a heartbreaking truth: inside the whale’s stomach were over 40 kilograms (88 pounds) of plastic waste—plastic bags, food wrappers, old fishing nets, and everyday human trash.
No tears could ever cleanse this sorrow. The whale didn’t die from old age, nor from a natural predator—it died slowly and silently because of our carelessness.
👉 “It didn’t know what it swallowed wasn’t food. But we did.”
Let’s stop polluting the ocean—before it becomes nothing more than a graveyard for innocent lives.
