A 35 ton Southern Right Whale beached at Kommetjie light house near Cape Town was set alight by local authorities to reduce its bio mass and preventing it decomposing and avoiding the hazard of disease spreading into the ecosystem. Authorities figured that burning the whale would reduce its mass by more than 60% and speeding up the process of discarding the carcass.
