mukina2: Endangered Whale Butchered In Nigeria



Yesterday, this pygmy sperm whale was washed up on the beach in Lekki in Lagos and sadly, our people did not give one thought to conservation or ask themselves if it was an endangered specie. they took their knives to it and butchered it for a feast.

Shakespeare: Nigerians!!! Well ȋ̝̊ can't blame anyone, this just shows our level of exposure and poverty, see how MEN took off their clothes to butcher this poor fish, not even caring about its source...

Seun: Source?

pleep: [size=15pt]Its sooooo bad when Nigerians do it... but Europeans do much worse every year.

Can you guys grow the fuckin hell up? meat is meat... have u ever been to a slaughterhouse? [/size]

[size=13pt]If Nigerians protest slaughterhouses in Europe, then Nairalanders, including you, will come down on them for not facing the issues in their own yard.[/size]

ogugua88: [size=13pt]Them don find sea pork.

This no fit happen for obodo oyibo. If a whale washes a shore, people either push it back into the ocean or call proper officials. As if these men know anything about whales. They probably can't tell a diseased whale from a healthy one. Naija doctors can hardly treat diabetes, talkless of food poisoning from a washed up whale. Them no dey fear. iWeep.[/size]

pleep: First off, there is nothing wrong with that picture. That is free food for hungry people. Why do internet whiners like you want to demonize everything Nigerians do?


Oh so the almighty white man would have done things right? give me a break

You guys are idiots... humans have been eating washed up whales since the begining of time. They are cave paintings of this practice in every continent... Weep for yourself.

Just because you see a little blood it becomes a horrible crime against God. What is happening in that picture is a 100X better than what goes on in the slaughterhouses where you get your meat from. Shameless hypocrits

[size=13pt]I'm not whining nor demonizing. Stop hyperbolizing.

Pushing it back is the logical thing to do. I don't know what killed it, so why should I eat it? I may as well carry home those dead deer I pass every so often and make soup with it.

You must have missed this part of the facebook post as well:

The pygmy sperm whale is covered by the Agreement on the Conservation of Small Cetaceans of the Baltic, North East Atlantic, Irish and North Seas and the Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans in the Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea and Contiguous Atlantic Area. In addition, the species is further included in the Memorandum of Understanding Concerning the Conservation of the Manatee and Small Cetaceans of Western Africa and Macaronesia and the Memorandum of Understanding for the Conservation of Cetaceans and Their Habitats in the Pacific Islands Region.

It would be nice if some people think beyond themselves and for the greater good of society. The world isn't the way it is in terms of advancement and knowledge because those before us were thoughtless.[/size]

pleep: Ok first get your story straight..... was this whale alive when it washed up on the beach or was it already dead?

If it was already dead, who the hell cares if it was an endangered species its dead

Capturing such a whale an performing tests and an autopsy could give clues to changes in its marine environment and explain past beachings or forewarn of those in the future. I suppose expecting butchers to reason the same way is beyond wishful thinking.[/size]

Whales often beach themselves when they're sick or dying from disease or infection. If that's the kind of meat you and those butchers wish to eat, then I pity una.

Loveangel: Eyaa pushing the whale back to the ocean was so touching.that's what you see&get in advance developed society with humane&sane people in it.unlike the under developed evil,barbaric and cursed continent called Africa with overtly mad people in it.Africa is a continent in a rat race,what a shame to Nigeria.
