UPDATE: Beached whale is being butchered (with video)

eTHEKWINI Municipal workers and members of the public were hacking off pieces of the humpback whale which washed up on Toti beach, about a kilometre from Pipeline beach, earlier this morning.
A large crowd has gathered at the site, with some taking selfies and others climbing up on the dead mammal.

People are walking down a steep hill from Ocean View Drive, Toti to get access to the beach. Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife officials were on the scene.
As the whale is too large to move, it will be cut into smaller pieces, possibly tomorrow, before its carted off the beach.
