    Wow, it amazes me that folks will offer a comment after not reading the full article. The squid was NOT DEAD when brought aboard the vessel. But, it was also not in great shape after being tangled in the net. The law states, anything caught there, must be brought aboard. There seems to be alot of roaring about this man hunting for squid. He is a fisherman, fishing. Now, correct me if I am wrong, but he spends most of his time ON THE WATER!!!!! I am surprised he hasn't seen or caught more of them. Now, the other uproar seens to be because he didn't save it. Has anyone seen a commercial fishing vessel?? They are not equipped to save a creature such as this. For gawd's sake people, leave it alone. This poor guy is trying to make his living and is now being condemned for things he had no control over. He did the best for the squid and headed for shore. Would some of you rather he tossed the poor thing back into the water to slowly die? Or maybe once he got to shore he should have sold it to the highest bidder? He gave it to science. Enough already.

    I think it's disgusting Bennett just had to kill it to get his name out. He'll probably mount the head and stuff it in his little bunkie. Thanks alot Bennett, one more beautiful unique creature wipped out. Lets hope it wasn't the last.

    That is absolutely horrible that they caught that poor creature just to freeze him for some museum.The squid deserved to live freely in the ocean until his time was up naturally!

    Please help me with my confusion but are there not colosal squid also in the mexican waters as well ? and are they not as large or larger that the one caught in tha Antartic?

  • Posted By: browner86 @ 05/03/2008 3:03:29 PM

    i keep thinking that the total number of colossal squid that humans have killed is 2. who knows if they are even endangered maybe they are just really sneaky? what about all the people that were killed in "20 thousand leagues under the sea" by that giant squid. i think they are winning

    This shows us the vision and genius of Jules Vern who envisioned this creature generations before it was ever proven to exist. Of course he also predicted rebreathers, atomic powered submarines, and environmental problems the likes of which we are experiencing now as Global Warming too. Contrast his insight with President Bush's genius and our troubles appear predictively obvious.

    i personally think that the fisherman could have at least tried to recessitate the poor squid. how about mouth to mouth? what about his portable defibulater?
    no you have give it to scientists so we can learn more about their species. rediculous.
