To be fair they also plan to dissect it, you know try and figure out why it did strand, put the skeleton in a museum and such but still: certified germany moment.

im-vegan but having the thing on life support, stranded, just to eventually die anyways feels much less humane to me than just having one big whale explosion while it's alive. This has been considered but apparently it's too risky but that kind of feels like a cop out to me

I don't think we should let a single setback ruin a perfectly sound plan like that.

I am laughing despite myself, but this was probably the driest and funniest way of reporting on that fucked up of a plan. Thanks for sharing!
