"...they’re going to let nature dispose of the body."

There’s an old video of blowing up a whale who was dead on a beach in Calif. Big whale. They blew him up and big chunks rained down on people and the parking lot.

Will a high tide come in and pull it back out to sea?

I can’t imagine just leaving a decaying carcass there, attracting flies and rodents and creating an awful odor.

"...they’re going to let nature dispose of the body."

The seagulls and the crows will have it picked clean in no time.

Reminds me of an old short story I read in Playboy (yes, I read the articles) years ago titled SOUVENIR in which after a storm, a 50 foot body of a man washes ashore. Where he came from no one knew.

Yes, the problem is that we just don't know whether Trump harpooned the whale himself or whether it was just his dehumanizing rhetoric that made this crime possible.

He came from Brobdingnag, obviously. Floated a long way.

A fine light aroma to follow.

That needs to be a Farmers' Insurance commercial. "Blubber blast? We covered it!"

Now *that's* a blowhole!

Once upon a time, not that long ago, a dead whale washing up was seen as a blessing.

You had tons of useful raw material just waiting to be used.

You had fuel from the blubber, bones for tools, intestines for containers and tendons for cord.

Now they just let it rot.

Experts say since they’re not sure how the whale died

Instead of blaming humans, global warming, international corporate dumping, etc. why not rule this grey whale’s death on reaching the end of his natural God designed lifespan? The whale likely wanted to die peacefully and quietly already. RIP whale buddy.

Lol Good one.

Thanks. That car sure got smacked. Lol
