The whale was taken to the D'Bone Collector Museum in Davao City , and found to have about 40 kilo of plastic waste in his stomach.

And this week's Darwin award goes to: Suicidal trash eating whale. What a dum-dum, whales can't survive on plastic nor can they survive on beaches. Must have dropped out of whale elementary school. Wait. How did I miss that the first time? Awesome name for a museum. You know things aren't going well when this guy shows interest in your situation.
