That is my guess also. This person posted exclusively in the for sale sections except to come address this thread about this thief. At a minimum that is highly questionable behavior.

When the pitchforks and torches are out, nobody is safe, and everybody's behavior is "highly questionable". Here is the transaction that I lost money on:

BENCHMADE AUTO FACT—-ULTRATECH RED

Benchmade Auto Fact S90 V steel carbon fiber handle. Great knife. Fit and finish perfect. Opens hard LNIB never carried or used …$old OTD OBO Ultratech 122-1 rd. Red handle. Double edge. Fit and finish perfect. PRICED TO MOVE. $260 otd obo Pm if interested.

I sent Paypal F&F for this transaction because I had three successful transactions with JKnight1 before.

Not that it is any of your business.

Did Jeremy scam you also?

No it was an actual dead common dolphin. We had to get it off the bottom and bring it ashore so it can be necropsied. Lol

Hopefully ya got a marine biologist on hand that specializing in whales & lowering their cholesterol levels. Ya know, cuz of all that blubber.

We do. It most likely died of a brain parasite. I, however, do have high cholesterol lol

Do you get to do anything cool with the carcass once the necropsy is over? Like make boots and knife sheaths from the leather after donating any viable meat to a whaling culture? I ask in all seriousness, seems like a system could be set up to provide an extremely rare material to a niche market that could help fund future conservation work. Similar to having a pelt sealed by the state conservation department when trapping fur bearers.

Usually the carcass is buried so that natural decomposition can clean the skeleton or it is disposed of. When we get dead dolphins in Massachusetts in the winter it is almost always due to parasites which can be transmitted to humans or domestic animals. This dolphin was freshly deceased and in an easily accessible area so it was an excellent candidate for necropsy. If it were decomposed etc it usually is disposed of at sea. It is illegal to possess marine mammal parts without a letter of authorization from NOAA for scientific or educational purposes.
There is also the risk of heavy metal poisoning with consuming dolphin meat.
 
I understand the whole biological magnification thing in regards to eating an apex predator, just seems like a missed opportunity in some regards as far as being able to sell some of the parts with a license. Much like having the rarer fur bearers tagged before being able to sell to a dealer... Like a provenance for a painting. Anything that might help fund more rehab/research for a valued natural resource. Think of the money that could be raked in by a biological organization for baleen and whatnot to be used by scrimshanders to ply their craft. A necropsy isn't exactly something that's cheap to have done from my understanding, not to mention folks such as yourself who have to take the risk to recover a deceased animal.

All asked out of curiosity, and blind hope that someone might see a way to help make things more self sufficient.

The University of New Hampshire does the necropsies for marine mammals in our area as our stranding team partners are based in NH.
Dolphins do not have much in the lines of marketable pieces. Their teeth are smaller than ours. Today’s dolphin was 7 feet long and about 250-300 pounds. Its teeth were smaller than a humans. It was feeding on loligo squid before it died as it had fresh markings from the squid beaks on its head. It also had raking marks from another dolphins teeth on its side.

Common Dolphins tend to seek solitude and beach themselves before they die. Beaching enables them to breathe until they expire without exerting much energy as they would if they were in deep water.

This one did not make it to the beach when it died and sunk in about 15 feet of water between two boulders. It was sketchy going in with the skiff to retrieve it.

Once UNH takes it for necropsy its value lies in the information it provides to marine mammal research.
We mainly just respond to calls in our municipality and assess the situation, assist stranding teams and prevent bystander interference. It is a heated issue up here with the local commercial fishing industry.
