freediver,
The issue of whaling is something I abhore and will petition this action till the day I leave this earth. You say not to tow the whales back to the ocean once beached? It is a known fact that one would not tow an injured whale back to the ocean, no, they would iether do the humane thing like euthenise the whale or get some local yob to stuff the still live whale with explosives, the latter being too disgusting to elaborate on.

Spanky, not that I support exploding whales, but its still probably kinder than nature's solution. People forget that mother nature is not a nice beast. Natures solution would be either death by starvation of death by crushing (which is common for whales out of water for too long, or so I am lead to believe).

When it comes down to it, don't most of us want to go out with a bang?

Hey Guys n' Gals,
What say we "cull the whale and roo" story and move on to something new.....Seen any aliens lately?

I think the TNT thing might be more to help move the carcass, which is much easier in small pieces. They would kill the whale first. They would want to get the bit out that they use for perfume before blowing it up.

And that little thing for perfume comes from where?
