Whattle: Whattle are imaginary creatures, they are being developed in the atolls of the central Pacific Ocean during the first half of the 21st. century. The word whattle is a combination of whale and cattle. Whattle are hybrids of baleen and toothed whales eg Minke and Right whales or Sperm and Dwarf Sperm whales. Being hybrids they can not reproduce and require human intervention similar to methods used with bovine and equine husbandry. The atolls are used as nurseries where both the calves and selected cows are cared for by Whattlers and Amaisha. Upon reaching mid adolescence (3 years old) they are released into gams (pods). The gams have populations up to 1000 whattle and are controlled by the Whattlers (aquatic cowboys) who use global satelite positioning and Ocean Range Ranching methods similar to those of the fishing and cattle industrys. The world wide whattle industry is controled by the International Whaling Commision (IWC) who is overseen by the United Nations. Whattle are Sacred. The five tenets of Whattle are, 1.To feed the world and use all the carcus to create sustainable products. 2.Use no arable land. 3.Use no fresh water. 4.Allow world fish stocks to multiply with the substitution of whattle. 5.A permit to run Whattle will only be issued if, All the Whales in the wild are PROTECTED by universal international agreement. Although this is a work of fiction, it could very well be true. --orctor (talk) 23:11, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
