It is kind of sad...he seemed like a really friendly whale that hundreds of people loved.

The thing is, if they do decide to bury him on land, how the heck are they gonna do it and where the heck are they gonna put him!?

They used to make really good chewing gum out of whale blubber. Eskimoes did, hence the saying "chew the fat"..i guess. Maybe they could sell him at Sea World so he'll live on and on...at least for awhile.

Not that this statement is in any way sympathetic to the passing of Keiko

;-)

I live in a tiny, boring, grey and cold country.... but at least we can boast about killing off that damned whale.....

Poor Keiko.  He didn't even  take out one fishing boat.

Orca he wasn't...

I read about it and the article I read said that they wanted his bones for a museum.I read the article at Azfamily.com.

>>they wanted his bones for a museum<<

They want his bones?
no, no no!

Free willy!

That's funny, he won't be free even now! At least I hope they can the meat instead of throwing it to the trashcan. My parents had whale steak on their honeymoon and said it was quite tasty.

On the other hand, I admit the new is quite sad. And I found quite outrageous that Warner Bros. gave only $1 million to free Keiko after milking him for three movies.
