Hundreds of millions of dollars worth of red-blooded meat, as ten- . der and flavoursome as prime beef, are being wasted every year in the Antarctic. Such is the claim made here by Dr. Harry E. Lillie, noted Scottish surgeon and whaling au- thority, ie a report prepared for the Canadian Geographical Society on the international whaling industry. Dr. Lillie, who in 1946-47 was in the Antarctic as surgeon to a Scot- tish fleet and who has since been engaged in surgical research work in • Canada, contends that enough whale meat is being- wasted each season to feed Europe for -More than three Months on present rations. In his report, Dr. Lillie traces the history of the whaling industry from its earliest times. Known best, per- haps, as a source of valuable oil, used both industrially and in food processing, avhales, he believes, have equally as great a role to play as a source of meat. Do Lillie is opposed, however, to the present method used for killing whales the explosive harpoon. This he describes as the most cruel and wasteful weapon possible. He believes universal adoption of a more humane method of killing, such as electroamtion, is immediately essential. A whale hit hy alt explosive har- poon may take anywhere up to three hours to die, and even than additional harpooning may be neces- sary to end the painful struggle. During this time putrefaction organ- isms spread rapidly throughout the entire animal. These organisms in time give the meat a fishy, oily flavour which detracts from its appeal as food for imamate. Dr. Lillie believes that if all coma-. t.ries engaged in whaling in the Antarctic were to kill be means of electrocution it would be possible to make huge quantities of "this uttritious, tasty meat" available to laity coun/des. He is convinced that he use of whale meat would help naterially itt relieving the ptesetiT world food shortage. At the present time, fixe countries. -Norway, United Kingdom, the retherlands U.S.S.R. and Japan - re engaged in whaling in Lite Ant - retie regions.
