Whale Watch With A Difference - This Is Going To Make A Real Mess!

Menzies

Newfoundlanders have a whale of a problem on their hands, as fears arise that a dead sea mammal could soon explode on its shore.

The town of Trout River is trying to dispose of a blue whale that washed up on a beach after nine of the endangered animals were found dead in the ice off the province's west coast several weeks ago, CBC News reported.

Town clerk Emily Butler says she's been told that the municipality is responsible for the whale, but she's trying to contact a government agency for help because it can't deal with the 25-metre carcass alone.

"We really don't have any resources and we really don't have the expertise," she told the network.

Butler is worried that the carcass could blow up as it has slowly grown bigger. In the meantime, it is emitting a nasty odour and has become an attraction for onlookers who want to witness the rare sight for themselves

Dig a hole under it with an excavator, it will float, then tow it out to sea and blow it up(the parts might float back in, but they will be small enough to handle). Even easier(and cheaper) would be to burn it.

I think I would witness it from farther away!

Believe it or not, our Marine Advisory Board just approved a process for handling mammal groundings because a former mayor was scared a beached whale would explode on the beach.
