“We have cordoned off the area to leave this creature in peace and safe from the attention of people,” Randwick Council mayor, Dr Clare Willington, told reporters.... beacuse it is a dead whale!
Willington said there were no plans to remove the whale and that staff were working with Gamay Rangers about a culturally and environmentally sensitive approach to take.
Well, I wouldn't suggest blowing it up, that usually doesn't go well…
But why the emphasis on cultural aspects, and why prioritise them over health and safety or hygiene concerns.
The Gamay Rangers are an Indigenous ranger team who undertake natural and cultural resource management activities like protection work, conservation, and threatened species management in the La Perouse Local Aboriginal Land Council area.The whale is an important totem animal to the local Bidjigal people, and Gamay Rangers manager Robert Cooley said previous instances where beached animal carcasses were taken to landfill had distressed his community.
Ridiculous pandering to the ‘culture’ of primitive folk who never invented the wheel!
