Graffiti painted on three dead sperm whales on the coast of Lincolnshire in England has received criticism from Twitterati who have said that despite the intention, it was wrong to disrespect the dead mammals.
Environmentalists allegedly spray painted slogans like ‘man’s fault’, and CND ( Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament) on the carcasses of the whales,reported the International Business Times.
However, CND later tweeted saying that no one from their department had been involved in spray painting the whales.
We condemn the graffiti on the dead whale. For the record:it’s not us & it’s not our logo. CND’s logo has a vertical line from top to bottom

1) That’s not a CND sign. 2) That’s not how you spell Fukushima. Apart from that, good work lads. pic.twitter.com/07kjpbb8Bw

— Miranda (@Miranda4Animals) January 25, 2016Only in Skegness would you get people spraying graffiti on a dead whale, taking selfies with it, and chopping its teeth out
— Jordan Brown (@jordbrown96) January 25, 2016Disgusting to hear a man went to the beach that has the dead whales on it & removed teeth fron the whale. Hope he’s found and prosecuted
