Ian\'s down fishing on So. Shields pier at the minute - just had a phone call from him.............

There\'s a body of a porpoise washed up at the rubble.........and it looks like it\'s been gutted.

Who in their right minds would gut a porpoise

Was down there on Saturday night and saw the porpoise (just on the rocks on the first bend to the right). It has been sliced open but all the guts were there when I took a photo on my phone. It looks like it could have been cut open by some curious person whilst on the rocks, unless it\'s stomach was sliced open and then just dumped overboard. Not a nice sight to see such a beautiful creature lying there like that. Was speaking to a couple of lads on Saturday night and apparently it had been there for a couple of days then.
