A whale carcass was set alight and left burning in the parking lot of Hamburg’s blue flag beach at the weekend.

The 9.4m humpback whale washed up on the Hamburg beach on Wednesday, according to resident Tracey Mace.

East London Museum scientist Kevin Cole was on the scene on Friday and said he had advised municipal officials to cut up the carcass and bury it to remove it from the beach.

But according to Mace, the whale carcass was instead moved up to the beach’s parking lot and set alight on Friday afternoon.

We've got a dead whale nearby. Doubt they're going to be setting that one on fire.

Good. Don't even try and eat that meat. You will die.

All that's left to do now is throw rocks at it.
