Siletz tribal members tell community what November’s whale harvest meant to them

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://lincolnchronicle.org/siletz-talk-about-november-whale-harvest/

No more may gulls cry at their ears

Or waves break loud on the seashores;

Where blew a flower may a flower no more

Lift its head to the blows of the rain;

Though they be mad and dead as nails,

Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;

Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,

And death shall have no dominion.

- Dylan Thomas (1914 - 1953)

It is NOT okay to abuse anyone's #body for #profit. Therefore, it is neither okay to bring the remains of a #humpbackwhale to a "rendering plant" -no, that's not a #plant, it's an intricate part of a for-profit industrial exploitation and slaughter machinery-, instead of giving the remains back to the not-for-profit #system on the seafloor.

Yes, this is, by a trillionth part or something, also about #Timmy.

The #WhaleSanctuaryProject should never have participated in the so-called #rescue attempt of that #humpbackwhale in the #BalticSea, because it was quite clear that that #animal was way too injured and ill to have any chance. I do not understand why these experienced people did not (want to) see that. None of the veterinarians involved had the courage to acknowledge that the case was out of their expertise either.

For Timmy - In Memory 2026

The humpback whale that got lost in the Baltic Sea. The whale wanted to live but didn't overcome the challenges we humans leave behind in our shared seas and oceans.

Although we tried to help and prayed, it ended up not being enough. May we take the chance to finally rectify some of what we have done and are doing so that the brothers and sisters living in our shared seas will be able to thrive and enjoy life.
