ATLANTA (Reuters) - Thousands of Georgia Aquarium sea creatures vented their anger on Tuesday over beluga whale Gasper's execution as aquarium officials promised an investigation into illicitly filmed footage of whale handlers taunting him on the gallows.
An aquarium official said he nearly halted the hanging over the jeering, which has inflamed interspecies passions in the city.
In the video, widely seen on the Internet, observers chant the name of Zoo Atlanta baby giant panda Mei Lan as Gasper stands on the scaffold, a sickly whale appearing dignified in contrast to the uproar below him.
