Years ago a dead adult sea lion washed up on the rip rap in front of a condo complex at high tide then became wedged in when the tide receded. It was well over 500 lbs and there wasn't room to get equipment in so I told 2 guys to put rainsuits on and cut it up with chainsaws. I went to check on the progress and could smell it a block away. One of the guys enjoyed it; he said he felt like Jeffrey Dahmer. I terminated him later for an unrelated incident of workplace violence.
