Accordingly, fisherman Nguyen Do Hung Tan, 29, found the carcass at around 6.30 AM on April 3rd morning. The carcass is in the process of strong decomposition. As soon as the whale was detected, the fishermen promptly used tugboat to bring the fish to Phan Thiet port for funeral. The event caught the attention of crowded locals and neighbors.
According to fishermen’s custom, finding a dead whale on the shore is regarded a harbinger of good luck at sea to the fishing village and fishermen both in fishing work and in daily life. Therefore, any fishing ships found the dead whale in the sea, they must carry it to the shore and hold formal funeral rituals for the animal.
