50 years ago, we learned not to hire George Thornton to blow up dead whales
&feature=emb_logo"“The beach erupted in a 100-foot-high column of sand and whale,” reported Larry Bacon for The Register-Guard. “Chunks of the animal flew in every direction, and spectators began to scream and run for cover when they glimpsed large pieces soaring directly overhead.”"

George passed away in 2013 at the age of 84.

It's annoying enough having a turkey carcass in the trash bin. Maybe I should take it to the garbage can outside. Raccoons will love it.
All organic garbage goes out into the south field. The vultures and crows have a feast then the raccoons and possums finish it off.
Having a 60 acre farm gives lots of opportunities to get rid of various organics. Horse, dogs, and cats get buried. Anything else is given to nature to dispose of.
When we moved from our old doublewide into this house we found a ten year old frozen turkey at the bottom of the chest freezer. I didn't trust it to cook, so I thawed it enough to peel the plastic wrapper off. Then I carried out into the bottom pasture and left it. The vultures had their own turkey feast.
By the next day all that was left was part of the pelvis and the plastic bag from inside the turkey that had held the gizzards. For several years the vultures made sure to check that part of the farm for another carcass.
The crows keep an eye on our house and get excited any time we carry stuff out. They are very disappointed if all we are disposing of is the cat litter. 
in your job and make nary one mistake.
But
You blow ONE WHALE up incorrectly
and no one lets you live it down..........EVER!
