A video has been circulating on social media that shows a city worker on a forklift attempting to put a deceased whale in a dumpster, but the whale doesn't fit and it falls to the ground.

The whale washed up on a beach in New Hampshire on Monday and it was being put into the dumpster for transportation. The plan was to transport the whale in the dumpster to researchers for an autopsy. 

As you may expect, several animal rights groups are upset with how this dead animal was treated. The chief of police in the city said that they should have used a larger dumpster and this was a result of miscommunication on their part.
