THIS i’m anti captivity for killer whales but abolishing all aquariums that hold killer whales right now will be so much worse for them i wish it was that easy there are no sea pens there are many who can’t be released even if there were sea pens we need to focus on actually building sea pens we need to focus on fighting for better conditions and stopping breeding programs we can’t undo what’s been done to them but we can improve their conditions as much as possible and make sure it never happens again

J63 is the first southern resident calf born in 2025 and likely the first calf of J40 “Suttles”!

unfortunately, southern resident calves have around a 50% mortality rate within their first year of life. a lot of this seems to be from a lack of food availability due to overfishing and disturbances from boats.

right now, under the trump administration, FWS and NOAA are trying to change the definition of “harm” in the endangered species act in a way that would weaken environmental protections. this will severely impact the already endangered and struggling southern resident population. calves like J63 will have even lower chance of survival if this proposed rule goes through. public comments to oppose this decision are open until may 19th.
