It is the fourth calf born to the southern resident orcas since December. Two of the four have died already.

Peak stupid?
Orcas are known to attack mother and calve whales, leading their young away and suffocating them. By blocking the whales blowhole, stop it from breathing until it drowns
They gang up in packs to kill adult whale
Orcas routinely kill pelicans just to play with the carcasses.
They do all sorts of horrible things, and while nature isnt always nice, some stuff they do is just unnecessary and awful.
Maternal health matters to orcas too!

Stop the cruel fishing industry from brutalizing, torturing, and slaughtering billions of fish/birds/mammals/sea turtles and dumping millions of tons of plastic into the oceans by not eating fish.
It's socially acceptable bushmeat.
Every Summer, out on the family boat, spying for dorsal fins, trying to match them to the Whale Museum chart
Later, I became a Kayak guide, & the same whales would come right up to me, brushing past the boat, as if to say hello
I miss them
