man and food II
following the loss of their walrus colony, the villagers now had to hunt for a whale in order to make ends meet.
whales... i've been disgusted/fascinated (but mostly disgusted, i can't explain why) with them since i saw a feature that said that their closest relative is the hippo. i just couldn't fathom in my head how a land-based mammal could morph into a fishy-thing. part amazing and part disgusting.
so they went out to the sea in several small boats, hoping to spot a whale, and of course they did, or else there wouldn't be a show anymore. it was a 6m long grey whale. i wondered how where they gonna get it, since you know, the whale can just dive deep and like fucking swim away?
but they have been hunting whales for centuries, and they will not be denied their dinner! they stalked it, and when it surfaced to breathe, harpooned it and attached it to a bouy for easy spotting and so it couldn't dive deep. kinda like what the guy did in Jaws.
after about 5 more harpoons, they managed to control the whale and were about to shoot it in the head with a rifle, but they wouldn't allow the cameras to film this, as they were aware that many people (cunts) were against the hunting of whales.
shots were fired, and they towed the whale back to shore. when they were cutting open the whale, they showed some stuff that made me even more disgusted with whales (not their fault, i know, but i can't help it). the body of the whale was like a mini-ecosystem of sorts, with critters living in and about its body.
barnacles growing on its skin, and what seemed like an entire colony of coin-sized, crab-like parasites somewhere inside. they then proceeded to skin the whale with the help of a TRACTOR, and then cut it up and distributed the pieces to the entire village. nothing was wasted, not even the barnacle-clad skin.
