Dead Minke Whale Pictures UPDATE
Mon 1st Sep 2008, 11:42 AM Reported
by: roving-eye
The dead Minke Whale on Formby Beach is still there .The Whale is a male about 26 feet long.It has been dead for about a month according to the Beach patrol.
It will be removed as soon as the tides allow.The Whale is at the end of Albert Rd Formby turn left and head towards the River Alt.
The smell is nauseating so much so I was nearly sick.
I can't understand why an immigrant hasn't set up home inside it or failing that, why hasn't it been cut up for food (pet or human consumption) The Japanese seem to value whale culling for their meat and oil, so why hasn't someone made a few bob doing just that? Maybe the Ainsdale council will charge some sort of tax on free fish meal....etc......
I have seen a programe where groups of killer whales hound a whale for hours and all they eat is the whales tongue and then leave it to die. It looks to me thats how it died with its wounds poor thing
just been to see it , it has a large wound in its side that is lying on the beach ..seagulls have been at it as well .. interesting to see close up .. but it hums somat rotton !!
been out to it again , got home for tea and every one asked were I had walked the dog ....... to see the dead whale ....after tea was at the whale again . lots of people out to see it but some people have started mutilating the body with writing and stamping on it ..nothing can be just looked at any more ... :{
hahaha....Mattee.....What about the Eskimo's or even the Norwegians.....they hunt Whale and leave it rotting before they salt it or freeze it.....And I'm sure the Chinese make a delicacy out of the cucumber hanging from it's belly......?
