It was a dead whale (and presumably rather small for a whale, although the article doesn’t specify). He wanted the skull for his anatomical collection. I think this is actually pretty cool, at least because there are biologists (as opposed to politicians) who would do this sort of thing and they’re cool people.
He’s not a biologist, he’s a lawyer. And if cutting up a whale with a chainsaw is normal day-to-day stuff in his family… that’s pretty fucking weird.
It is quite weird but in a cool way. I mean, I collect teapots. He collects animal skulls. Which of us is more badass?
I don’t find driving to a beach with your child to carve up a dead whale with a chainsaw (is that even legal?), bungeeing it into the car and then driving down the road with “whale juice” flooding into the car to be badass, just bad parenting.
Also, claiming to be a big environmentalist and having an animal skull collection is not the best look.
You’re not an ethicist, you’re a mod. Forming an opinion about someone else’s hobbies is…well, kinda weird.
I’m not a mod in this community.
Also, why do I have to be an ethicist to call someone’s hobby a weird hobby?
Wait… How do you behead your whales?
Everyone trying to say this is normal didn’t read the article.
Kick recounted of the event, “Every time we accelerated on the highway, whale juice would pour into the windows of the car, and it was the rankest thing on the planet.”
She concluded, “We all had plastic bags over our heads with mouth holes cut out, and people on the highway were giving us the finger, but that was just normal day-to-day stuff for us.”
There’s nothing normal here.
How does Cheryl Hines stay married to this dude?
