No rare whales were harmed when generating this picture |
A dead specimen of a rarely seen whale has washed ashore a beach in New Zealand. Best line from the BBC´s news article: "New Zealand's Māori people regard whales as a sacred treasure, and DOC said local Maori communities would take part in deciding the whale's fate."
Ahem, are these the same Maori who exterminated the New Zealand charismatic mega-fauna and genocided the Chatham Islanders? Not sure why they should have any say in the matter, but if you insist...
I hope the Maori tell the scientists to throw the whale carcass back into the sea. I mean, the tears from the cryptozoology nerds on Reddit would be *epic*, LOL.
