They could just fill it with explosives and blow it up. That’s what they did in Oregon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploding_whale

Dynamite and seagulls should do the trick, yes, sir.

Tow it out to sea a few miles and it will likely be consumed within 72 hours!

People laugh at it, but it got the job done. Just maybe have people back up a little further next time.

Chop up a rotting carcus? Whar could possible go wrong?!?

Or they could blow it up with 1/2 ton of dynamite and let the birds eat it. Maybe not. (Must see video!)

Well, there's always dynamite (Oregon, 1970): Oregon whale

Be patient, the news report takes about 3 minutes.

What they do in Alaska when a carcass cannot be rendered, is to cut it up into sizable chunks, and barge it out aways, and very shortly it is consumed.

First we will need an EPA impact study and climate change model.

Explosives definitely need to be involved. The reason they didn’t work so well in Oregon is simple: not enough explosives.

It can’t be moved. It’s its own ecosystem.

Well, they used 20 cases of dynamite. But, it might be interesting to try 200. Might have some work to do on the beach afterwards, though.

Of course....common sense. Too easy...there must be a harder way.

Get the school kids down. Teach them to make soap.
