A Butchery in Batangas
An 18-foot long whale shark (Rhincodon typus), de-finned and fighting for life, was found floating belly-up amidst the rough waters of Bahay Kambing, a sheltered cove in the municipality of Tingloy.

Rope and knife-marks were evident all over its tail - mercifully too think to cut through.
