The beaching of 46 pilot whales on a small island in south-eastern Indonesia â during which all but three died â has turned into an unexpected mealtime bonanza for locals, who have taken the meat for food, a common practice for the region's whale hunters. Many of the whales were already dead when they were discovered by locals on Sabu island's Raijua beach in East Nusa Tenggara province on Monday.
