Giant whale washes up on shore on South African beach

A large section of coastline in South Africa has been closed after a 15-metre whale washed ashore following an attack by great white sharks.
The whale was removed from the surf after its carcass attracted high numbers of great whites to the coast by Muizenberg beach, near Cape Town, on Sunday.
Authorities have since taken the southern right whale from the beach but have closed off a stretch of shore from Muizenberg to Monwabisi 'as a precaution'. More photos after the cut

When I originally commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three emails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
Cheers!

You actually make it appear really easy along with your presentation but I
in finding this topic to be really something which I think I might by no means understand.
It kind of feels too complex and very huge for me.
I'm looking ahead for your subsequent publish, I will try to get the hold of it!

A fascinating discussion is worth comment. I think that you ought to write more about
this subject, it may not be a taboo subject but usually people do not speak
about these issues. To the next! Many thanks!!
