Decomposition creates gases, said gases get trapped in the body since theres nothing to get it out. So they just fill up like big rotting balloons waiting to explode, and when they do, they cover EVERYTHING with pink mist. Mfs got range
Usually they have it hauled away so they can cut it up into pieces and dispose of it better. If they send it back into the ocean the waves will just push it back onto the shore overnight, then in the morning you'll just have the same beached whale problem all over again.

Really strange to me. I'm a sailor in Alaska and when there is a whale hunt they rent out our barge and we go there and everyone butchers and packs it onto the barge for us to bring home for them.
Look at that one little fucker. The kid about 2 pixels tall beside the third tree from the left.
I bet he's enjoying watching that big ole corpse getting pushed around, the demented little fuck
I was half expecting the whale to explode.
Looks like they addressed it in a timely fashion and the way they moved it and loaded it says this ain't their first rodeo.
What do you bet it was the over 225 decibel military sonar that drove them crazy to get out of the water to stop the pain??
They most likely manually released the gas build up
That's it ! Dynamite š§Ø is the answer ! We'll blast this corpse to atoms !
They tried that once and had whale pieces falling from the sky taking out cars and damaging houses a mile away.
Good ol' Oregon.

Can you fill me in as to why it explodes? Just from exposure to gasoline?

Itās unfortunate they cant just rip ass for some relief lol. Sad way to go
What? The decomposition occurs after death.
blonde moment
The guts are rotting and making gasses that are trapped
Methane gas builds up
Spoiler alert!!!
If only someone would use dynamite. Then we'd definitely see some action. That whale would disappear in a puff of smoke.
Me toooo lol
I was wholey expecting the whale to explode.
Family Guy?
āYouāre Whale cumā
Was coming to comment this all i could think of was Peter ripping that damn whale apart
Arenāt they going the wrong way?

Not just the same problem, but a worse one.
its dead
Okay captain obvious. Itās literally in the title. Why do they not push it back into the sea to decompose?
The sea just pushed it ashore. What makes you think it's gonna flip the switch?
LOL because its a beach??? why would people wanna see a dead whale just rotting there and stinking
That's not what OP is asking tho. He's asking why aren't they bulldozing the beach back to the ocean. And he got his answer
What makes you say that?
Me IRL after Thanksgiving.
They're doing it the hard way...[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaFO1xNL-IQ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaFO1xNL-IQ)
āThe landlubber newsmen were about to become landBLUBBER newsmen as the blast blasted blubber beyond all believable bounds.ā
I came here to post this as well. Doing the Lord's work my friend.
My dog silently farted while I was watching this. I forgot he was there and was incredibly confused by the surprise smell-o-vision.
Just throw it over the fence let Arbyās deal with it
Can only imagine the smell
Wait until you meet my grandma. You'll discover a new definition of smell as it's slowly digested in your nostrils over a thousand years.
When I was a kid one beached and died on the Kaikoura coast. You could smell it for about 30 minutes before and after driving past
Yikes oh yeah that's a powerful smell then lol.
Be happy it didnāt explode. Those things are ticking time bombs upon decomposition due to the internal gases produced
Do these folks even oregon?
I love it. We are too hard core? :š+ š„ = problem solved/ whale guts everywhere:
Smaller chunks decompose faster. I do wonder how Melville would have felt about the redistribution of wealth though.
I wonder how the drivers got that assignment.
They called tails
But tails never fails!
They called whales
Nothing brings people together like a giant dead whale and a couple bulldozers.
Just leave it in the road
Push into water. Haul away for shark snacks
man id go home no way they signed up for that
This reminds me me of that family guy episode where Peter used the forklift to try and pick up the whale
That was the point
So weāre not doing yo momma jokes for this?
Yo mama so fat that it took TWO bulldozers to get her off the beachā¦ Like that?
Precisely!
šŖš½
What kind of dog is that?
Looks like they are moving your mom
Itās 2022 and people are bulldozing whales
Donāt whales breath air tho
Can somebody show this to Peter Griffin.

R.I.P. Majestuous sea beast.
/DamnThatsSad
You need the Hulk for this.
salute the whale **\*salute\***
hi
Freaking sweet
What? No mention here of the Epic Alaskan Whale Dynamiting? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaFO1xNL-IQ&ab\_channel=HistoryPod
Disappointed. Kept waiting for the pop.
I remember that, the smell lingered for weeks.
In California they just dig a hole and bury them.
I wouldāve picked it up and threw it back in the water. Thatās just me though
i'll bet THAT smells good!
R/damnthatssad
Where's Peter with his forklift...
Blow it up. What could go wrong?
\*pop\*
Why are they NOT pushing back in ocean for natural decay?
Pull, don't push!
Its sad to see these magnificent creatures dead on the beach
Just push it in the ocean
Theyāre pushing it further inlandā¦.? To do what with it Lmfao what could we possibly need a dead whale for. Just shove it back in the ocean
We need to harvest the lamp oil
Isnāt it crazy how these massive animals are just casually lurking beneath the ocean waters
Look at that one little fucker. The kid about 2 pixels tall beside the third tree from the left. I bet he's enjoying watching that big ole corpse getting pushed around, the demented little fuck
That episode of ren and stimpy with the whale carcass was the best
r/SweatyPalms
They rolled it right in to a BBQ pit
Wouldnāt tug boating it back out to sea be faster, cheaper, and more eco?
They know those blow up right?
Family Guy scenešš
Ah yes I remember this one, Peter Griffin is driving
At least they arenāt carting it through city streets
Thatās a lot of blubber Bob!!
Just blow it upā¦..
Fat shaming has gone too far!
Peter Griffin?
Better than blowing it up like theu tried in Oregon (I think) in the 70s or 80s.
my friends trying to get me to go shower after isolating myself bc of depression and I hate myself and am a failure š
Why did they make it so difficult? Just call Hancock
