Australian blasters put stranded animal out of its misery.
Question. There is a large humpback whale beached on a sandbank for two weeks and it is clear that the animal is no longer able to help itself and is, as a result, suffering. Do you (a) attempt to tow it into the water? (b) Deploy a marine crane to help free the beast? Or (c) call a team of blasters o put the animal out of its misery using something called a “cranial implosion”.
Well, if you’re an animal-loving Australian, option (c) is apparently the way to go, as evidenced by this story from the Vancouver Sun.
And there was us thinking a cranial implosion was that feeling we get in our head whenever we receive news of a blast gone awry or another excavator winding up in a basement.
