How many people would you need to pull a whale over cobblestone streets?

A whale, lets say a humpback (~40 tons) has to be pulled about 250 m from the port to the town square. The road is classic cobblestone.

People put hooks into the whale meat with ropes attached and pull, dragging the whale body.

How many would I need? I calculated the rough number of people to lift 150t (about 3,750), but I have no idea how many would be needed if the whale is dragged.
