The death of a pygmy sperm whale last week at the inadequately equipped Marine Mammal Care Center in San Pedro, following a long and painful truck ride from western Malibu where the rare whale was found stranded on the beach, constitutes more evidence that we need to complete the proposed facility in Malibu where dolphins and other small whales can receive proper care and recover.
