Sep 07, 2010 9:19:51 Wha? It was ****ing dead. Who cares? Oh well, I suppose there could have been the potential to examine the carcass for research purposes and it was against the law to chop the bugger up, but c'mon. It's dead. I don't care if somebody eats it.

I know, I know. 'But it was a whale! We shouldn't eat whales!' Well, guess what. There's people out there that think you shouldn't eat cows. Or pigs. So ... uhh ... yeah.

It could become a precedence for poachers, claiming that "it was dead when we found it!"
I'm not sure, but similar practice could be concerning ivory trade. Fresh ivory cannot be traded.
With whales it could be more difficult to determine if the animal was dead when they found it.

In other words, if you wanna taste whale, go to Iceland or Japan ;)

To poach, you must kill. There would be evidence of some sort in most cases. Finding a dead (whale) baby on the beach is a fair sight different than bringing one back in a net. In the clip, they even go so far as to say how common an event this is and that more dead (whale) babies should be expected to pop up. In other words, dead (whale) babies happen.

That said, what he did was against the law and he should be punished accordingly. He did it out of ignorance but that's no excuse.

I think that's the reason some places have laws against eating roadkill, but I'm not sure. Either about the existence of such laws, or the reasoning behind them.

Huh? Places have laws against that ? What's next, laws against going to the grocery store?

Sep 07, 2010 12:47:15 IIRC, there are places that have roadkill waiting lists. They give deer killed on the road to people to use for themselves. A lot of these are people struggling to make it but there are some others, too. I knew one person that raised wolves (well, the over 90% kind that are legal) and she was on the list so she could feed her pack. But yeah, if it's a choice between 'let it rot' and 'let someone eat it', I think it's pretty clear what side I'm on. In this guy's case, though, I think it's very possible that the sciency folk would have wanted to use the carcass for research of some form or another - another activity that's a far cry from waste. But they never say if that was the case or not. Still, he broke a law. Face the music time.

I know for sure that in Poland the guy who killed it can't take it, but the next driver can.
Some could try to plot having a friend drive just behind you, but I think in reality a boar is harder to kill than a car.
