What do you think, leave your comment below:
Is the public butchering of the beached whale disgusting or fair game?
:) …I am mortified. Such a beautiful animal disrespected like that.
It’s disgusting, disrespectful and dumb.. They don’t know how long that things been dead and what caused it’s death.. disgusting idiots..
Why not the poor creature die in peace ………. or why not try and save its poor life. Its species might exctinct now because we just chopped up its DNA. As I they say “Think before you do”.

Still think it’s better than in some other country who tried to blow it up with TNT/using too much the whole town was covered in whale/stank for weeks/big clean-up
Nothing wrong with it. The whale had breached itself and was already dead. Rather than blow it to smithereens or let it rot and stink up our beach, let those who can make use of its flesh for food or whatever purpose be. There are to many starving people out there to make judgement calls.
Waste not want not. If salmon got swept up by a tornado and then dumped over Toti houses would we not all stock up our freezers? Think about…it’s easy to judge people…harder to love them…uncomfortably unconditionally. ..the way JESUS loved us…and still does…ALL OF US!
