Heart It
The story begins in 1970 in Florence, Oregon. It seemed it was going to be a normal day, until a 45-foot long dead Sperm Whale drifted up onto the beach. And since this is not a naturally tenable position for a whale, most people had no idea of what to do with it, let alone the authorities.
At the time, the beach was considered to be under the jurisdiction of the Highway Patrol, so eventually they were the ones forced to make a decision about what to do with the thing. Unfortunately, all the people in charge were men, so the conclusion they arrived at was blowing up the whale carcass with a half ton of dynamite.
