Nuke the Whales

Published by SJ at 7:18 pm under General

I read this and had to share it. The Japanese should be having a field day with this gold.

A special ‘Look out’ to all the fat behemoth chicks who elect sun-bake on the beaches around our nation this summer.

EXPLOSIVES have been used to put down a sickly humpback whale which washed up onto a sandbar off Western Australia’s southwest coast.

The 9.5m humpback whale became stranded in Albany in WA’s southwest two weeks ago.

The Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) had intended to let the whale die of natural causes but on Thursday decided to euthanase the animal with an explosive charge after it repositioned itself on a sandbar.

In a statement, DEC Albany district manager Mike Shepherd said the whale had moved a couple of metres from its original position, which was enough to stabilise the whale and kill it humanely.

“This was not an option that was available to us until now as the animal, even while terminally sick, was still strong enough to present a serious safety risk to DEC staff and volunteers,” he said.

    Oh Simon you have no clue what I am thinking.

    If you understand what is going on here you would realise that they are actually trying to help the whale.

    I am sure the whale thought the same thing just before they put a stick of dynamite up its ass.
