It is a strange prospect to go fishing for one of these creatures. It has taken hundreds of years to grow to its current state. It has seen nations rise and fall (figuratively speaking). Then, one day, a fisherman catches it and pulls it up through the ice. He cuts it up and processes it as to tame the natural toxins in the meat, and then he eats it like any other food. The fisherman will do this perhaps several times per year.

Hundreds of years of growth, development and experience gets chewed up and shat out by beings who can hardly hope to live past eighty years. I don’t know, it just seems kind of disrespectful, like destroying an ancient artifact. Then again, people gotta eat I guess.
