The truth about the whale at Pegwell bay

I'm confused.
Thanet council are disposing of the whale in a 'dignified manner'

This is the digger dissecting the whale

Really??

I understand there's only so many ways you can remove a carcass of this size and i also understand that this is a unique opportunity to study the creature.
For example, today, the people at the site discovered something about the whales teeth that no-one ever knew before.

The thing that gets me is why tell the public it will be disposed of with dignity. I would be furious if my family disposed of me in such a 'dignified manner'
Notice all the pictures on line and on the news are of the whales head or tail or from the back. that's because since around 2AM today the whale has been looking like this


The lady in the red hat it the same lady who dissects the creatures in Inside Natures Giants, I must say she has a strong stomach and is obviously very dedicated to her job!





Also news reports have stated there was no damage to the whale. Speaking to a coastguard at the scene, i was told there were gouges in the whale believed to have come from more of the same species. Looking at the picture i got there seems to be quite a bit of damage to the whale

There seems to be quite a few scratches and gouges to me

And another thing. People are being told to stay away due to the threat of disease, so me being the cautious person i am took a mask. I was the ONLY person at the site with one, including the people working on the whale!

In summery I understand this probably is the way to dispose of the creature, although i don't see why, once they have conducted the post mortem, they cant put it back where it belongs as whale carcasses create their own Eco-system to lots of other sea creatures once on the ocean floor.
And please don't make it out to be dignified when it is anything but.
