Quote:Ropes and fishing gear wrapped around a humpback whale discovered in the Bay of Fundy "very likely" played a role in the animal's death, says the director of the Marine Animal Response Society.
Tonya Wimmer was part of a team on a Canadian Coast Guard boat that located the whale Saturday evening, floating in an area between Long Island and Brier Island, N.S.
"There was a trap on the animal as well, there may be more or an anchor perhaps. The animal was quite weighted down," she said. "It's a pretty horrific way for this animal to die."
Called Peajack, the whale was a breeding female and a familiar sight in the area for years.
