Fish Fingers Anyone?

Does anyone else find that programme on channel 4 where they dissect massive animals slightly wrong?
I mean I know the animals died of natural causes or were put down because they were ill, so technically there is nothing wrong with it.
But something about it seems really twisted.

Right now I'm watching them cut open a whale on a beach. Guts and fluids are pouring over the sand. This woman is hacking away at its voice box, and sliding down the side of the huge animal, which is slippery with blood. She's laughing. They're using a digger to scrape away the flesh and muscle. Children are watching whilst eating ice creams and hot dogs.

I mean, I'm all for biological developments. but maybe a little respect for the dead is in order.
Plus, they don't seem to be discovereing anything new about the animals, so I don't really see the point, especially seeing as they've pulled the whale apart so much so it is barely recognisable as one anymore. It just seems to me that they could be doing something more productive.

Like, I dunno, saving whales rather than attacking the carcasses with a bread knife.
