Sperm whale rescued in Bohol.
(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)
Byline: Jhunnex Napallacan
CEBU CITY-A wounded sperm whale, believed to be a victim of illegal fishing, was rescued on Friday in the waters off Puntod Islet in Panglao town in Bohol.
Panglao Mayor Doloreich Dumaluan on Saturday said the whale suffered two bullet wounds, several lacerations and bruises all over its body and tail.
The whale is seven meters long and weighs over 2,000 kilos.
The mayor, however, said he believed that the whale has weakened not because of its wounds but because its tail has been tied with fishnets.
Four fishermen identified as Rey Arbiso, Tonton Clemenia, a certain Bebing and another unidentified fisherman, first noticed the very weak whale near the Puntod Islet.
