Fin Whale Being Butchered (Time Lapse)
On the 28th of November 2011 a dead Fin Whale was washed up on Ardtermon
Strand near Raghly in Sligo, Ireland. The whale was probably 2 to 3
years old. Some local people organised a project to preserve the
skeleton. On December 10th, the Whale was moved to Raghly Harbour. 5
butchers from Slovakia and Brazil got to work dissecting the animal as 2
PHD students from UCG, who are studying Fin Whales, removed and
cataloged all of the bones. The bones will be treated over the next year
and finally rebuilt into a skeleton to be put on public display. This
video is a partial time lapse of the event.

The Slovakians have a great history of butchering whales! That's why they were specially brought in.

That was like one of those time lapse videos of the maggots devouring a dead rabbit, except on a much larger scale!
Cool project though.
Nobody gets the job done like Irish farmers!

Whale tastes more like steak. Try STEAK and CHIPS instead.

This was a great use of the carcass instead of letting it stink up the place. I saw the carcass of another whale that had washed up farther down the coast from here back in the 90s. You could smell it more than a mile away. I've never seen so many flies and maggots in the same spot ever. The flies must have numbered in the billions! It was so big that more than a year later, it was still rotting and oozing. The liquid that oozed out of it killed all the vegetation nearby. A local seafood restaur More..
