He whipped out his knife and cut off a two foot section of it including the tail fin. He had plans to eat the thin layer of meat beneath the skin and then use the fins for soup.<\/p>\n<p>There was only one problem. It is illegal under Florida law as well as under the federal Marine Mammals Act to even possess parts of a whale. A lifeguard informed him of the law after he had cut off the section and then the police and wildlife officials were called.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.palmbeachpost.com\/news\/crime\/two-men-could-face-fines-after-butchering-whale-893276.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Palm Beach Post News<\/a> has both pictures and video to go with the story.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Hogan, who has been unemployed for two years, apologized to the State of Florida and said he didn&#8217;t know it was illegal. He does worry about the fines which could go as high as $800 for a first offense. There is no word whether the Feds will charge him with violating the Marine Mammals Act as well.<\/p>\n<p>The money quote for lovers of roadkill &#8211; or in this case beach kill &#8211; was this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>Hogan said he wasn&#8217;t worried about health issues because the body still was warm and there was only one fly on it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The tide was still going out. So it (the whale) hadn&#8217;t been there that long. The sand was still wet,&#8221; he said. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There was no word on whether Mr. Hogan had a copy of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.buckpeterson.com\/original.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Original Roadkill Cookbook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>H\/T <a href=\"http:\/\/www.camounderground.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Camo Underground<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When a 7-foot pygmy sperm whale beached itself and then died on Delray Beach in Florida, Chris Hogan didn&#8217;t&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":1,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1667],"class_list":["post-5212","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-news-of-the-weird"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5212","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5212"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5212\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5759,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5212\/revisions\/5759"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5212"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5212"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
