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 aid whaling au- thority, in 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 edch season to feed Europe for more than three months on present rations. In his report, Dr. Lillie traces the history of the whaligg industry from its earliest times. Known best, per- haps, as a source of valuable oil, used both industrially and in food processing, whales, he believes, have equally as great a role to play as a 'source of meat. 2 Dr. Lillie is opposed, Rowever, 1 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 electrocution, is immediately essential. A 'whale hit by an 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 - front its appeal as food. for lumaris' Dr. Lillie believes that if all coun- tries engaged in whaling in the Antarctic were to kill be means of clectrocution it would be possible to make huge quantities of "this nutritious, tasty meat" available to many countries. He is convinced that the use of whale meatywould hélp materially in relicving the present «world food shortage. At the present time, five countries Kingdom, the Netherland¢ U.S.S.R. and Japan-- are engaged in whaling in the Ant: arctic regions.
