Dangers of Towing A Dead Whale Through a Busy Street

[spudboy]

This made me laugh (in a revolted king of way). Hope it's not too inappropriate - shift to mud pit if it is......

scientific research:angel: at its best...:mad:

Unbelieveable. That sort of thing would never happen in a western country.

[CraigE]

Now thats an eye opener. Nearly as good as the video of the beached whale in the states in the late 50's when they decided to blow up the whale to get it into moveable sized pieces. Only problem was they put way to much explosive in and had a rather large crowd gathered to watch some distance away. It rained whale meat over everyone. Funny to watch though.

[Slunnie]

Thats right. They'd do it out on the boat.


Seriously though, its a sad sight to see this, not so much the guts but the stupid slaughter of such a beautiful friendly and monstrous animal.

Yum Cha anyone?? :eek:

Hope the motorbike has a diff lock.

[gruntfuttock]

That sort of thing should be banned. Hunting whales is just not necessary these days. But as one Japanese man said to me


"God put all the animals on the earth for us to use, so when we use up one species we just move to another. That is what we are supposed to do":eek: :eek: :eek: He said that is what most of them belive. You could have knocked me over with a feather at that statement.

NOTE:
This was taken from a conversation I had with a Japanese man some time ago. Weather it reflects the reality or not I do not know

[Quiggers]

Which particular God do the Japs adore?

Then again... leviticus in the bible is pretty 'out there'...

Guys this photo is not taken in Japan, the writing is Chinese, so its a photo taken in China somewhere, Hong Kong or Taiwan.

Absolute Mongrels Such beautiful creatures Id like to gut and strap them to the back of that semi and drive them through the main drag in town :mad: :mad:

[cartm58]

according to kathy who lived in Japan for 10 years, speaks and writes fluent Japanese no Japanese and Chinese script are different and this photos's character script in shop fronts and street signs isnt Japanese or Korean

finally, a scooter with some guts about it...



sorry, couldnt resist.

I've looked at this for a couple of days now, this may be a purely innocent photo, don't whalers cut up and clean the guts from whales that are harpooned.
On this whale,the guts have exploded out from the back of the whale not the bottom stomach area,so it hasn;t been gutted at all
maybe we are looking at this the wrong way, perhaps it was washed up dead, and the semi was moving it somewhere to be buried. Its been dead for a while and bloated full of gas looking for an escape route. Normally fresh gut wouldn't give the look of horror to the bloke in the photo.

What do you think?

[Blknight.aus]

I dunno, Ive made many trips down to the old whaling station at albany and ive seen green tourists walking out of there and that place must have been closed for 30 years now.

it still smells of dead whale Im told (no sense of smell here)

[loanrangie]

Thats some order of sushi :p I'd hate to see the bowl of rice that goes with it !

[LandyAndy]

Im with John
The first thing you do to fish is gut them to stop them going off.
Likely that its a beached whale.
The blood still seems very fresh though!!!

[Quiggers]

JohnE was right: Can't beat some expert inside knowledge..... Taiwan.

The story is here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4096586

Cheers, GQ

[JohnE]

there you go, I was on the right track, and i bet the coagulated blood and guts stunk!!!!!
that brings a new meaning to the old whaling term 'thar she blows'


john

[shorty943]

Quiggers and Co beat me to it again. My two bob's worth, re the location?
It can't be Japan, they drive same as us, on the left, from the right.
Did make a mess for some poor bugger to clean up, didn't it:twisted:

Shorty.

[RobHay]

finally, a scooter with some guts about it...



sorry, couldnt resist.


I think I would just abandon the scooter and go buy another one:D

[Mick-Kelly]

"More than 100 Tainan city residents, mostly men, have reportedly gone to see the corpse to 'experience' the size of its penis," the newspaper reported.

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :angel:

[Ken]

:D :D :D Now thats funny :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

[JohnE]

Now that confirms it,
while I know there are women and children on the forum, I thought it reasonable and prudent not to mentioned the dead whale had an 18 ft penis,
that there is always one in the group, with better eyes than the rest of us.
