The Threats To Survival! New Born Orca Dies!

The Threats To Survival! New Born Orca Dies!


A J Pod baby orca has recently died within approximately 2 months after birth! The media, organizations and businesses once again fail to educate everyone of all possible causes of the death. The usual “lack of food” suggestion is only one of the three major causes. Threats include Lack of Food (due to overfishing, dams etc.); Pollution (sewage dumping, industrial wastes, etc.), and Vessel Traffic! The latter that includes the boat harassments and harms caused by private boaters, companies and researchers continues! Collisions also seriously injure them or kill them!

This ongoing harmful, life threatening boat traffic seriously impacts the lives of orcas. It causes unhealthy stress and breaks essential bonding. For decades, there have been research interventions such as mistreating every single orca like human patients BUT without their consents! These decade’s long tests that may well have negative impacts on the SRKW hope for recovery are conducted with lucrative government grants. This includes government researchers whose 2016 “research” led to the death of an endangered L pod male and probably 2 transient orcas. They were shot with dart trackers that caused fatal infections! There is also ongoing shooting with skin biopsy darts with extremely close vessel approaches.... when more humane poop samples can be collected from a humane distance!
