History

 

The Tip Pyramid, to possess an onlooker forms natural that remembers to the silhouette of a ship, it was used during a lot of time by the Armed Argentina like target for the shot practices with heavy artillery. This action meant the crumbling and destruction of cliffs, restingas and of course it put in danger the survival of the colony of Marine Wolves that you/they inhabit the Tip. The coastal populations of Marine Wolf were severely affected by the big slaughters carried out to obtain their leather and their fat. Only in the Peninsula Valdés was killed between 1917 and 1953 more than 260.000 animals. During the same lapse the total of animal faenados in the Argentina overcame the means million. Today, to more than twenty years of being had suspended the hunts, the total population of the peninsula was considered Valdés in 15.000 animals, a figure that was eliminated in less than a faenamiento season in other times. People that were devoted to the hunt of Marine Wolves were known as Lobero or Foqueros. They killed the animals in a bloody way: with long and heavy wooden mallets they hit them in the head and the trumpet until achieving their death. Evidences of this limitless exploitation remain in North Tip: iron boilers used to melt the fat of the animals, countless leathers that are among the bushes of the coast and thousands of bones that whiten the beaches, give exact idea of the magnitude of the slaughters.
