I don't know......just seems a shame such a fantastic creature is being paraded around and now its dead. Didn't they do these things 100 years ago? I would've thought they'd have scientists doing everything in their power to keep it alive as its one of the rarest creatures alive today...

That japanese program in the footage is just stupid..

I presume they did try & keep it alive as they have plenty of dead giant squids but very few live ones to study. I wonder if the stories of them attacking submarines & ships are true? eek:

Here is a picture of a squid beak.

Go for it.... oOo:


As for the shame in killing it...They weren't trying to kill it, they were making a scientific discovery and it died in the process. I don't think one animal is going to make a huge difference.
