He had been ill, and supported medically, for years, with an infection found in both free-ranging and zoological animals. His death was not violent or shocking, yet it garnered exponentially more news coverage and discussion then the fate of J-34.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Why? Where were the so-called \u201canimal rights\u201d crusaders, so abundant on Twitter and Facebook, when J-34 was suffering? Why is the death of a geriatric, professionally cared for animal a national ignition point, but the slow and steady destruction of a group of wild whales a special interest story?<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5043\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5043\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5043\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loroparque.com\/app\/uploads\/2017\/01\/15941757_613402062176830_2038657087_n_blog.jpg\" alt=\"Tourist disrupting the natural habitat of Killer Whales \u2013 image via NOAA\" width=\"600\" height=\"461\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loroparque.com\/app\/uploads\/2017\/01\/15941757_613402062176830_2038657087_n_blog.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.loroparque.com\/app\/uploads\/2017\/01\/15941757_613402062176830_2038657087_n_blog-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.loroparque.com\/app\/uploads\/2017\/01\/15941757_613402062176830_2038657087_n_blog-370x284.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.loroparque.com\/app\/uploads\/2017\/01\/15941757_613402062176830_2038657087_n_blog-410x315.jpg 410w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5043\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tourist disrupting the natural habitat of Killer Whales \u2013 image via NOAA<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By all logic it should be reversed: J-34 was the 4th death (out of 6 adults and 3 neonate calves) for the embattled Southern Residents this year. His passing was violent, likely caused by human interference and marked the removal of another breeding animal from a population where the survival rate to 1 year for a calf is less than 50%. But animal rights activism, from PETA to The DoDo and beyond, is big business, and it\u2019s a lot easier to sell ethics if you have a shiny corporation like SeaWorld to demonize.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While leveraging Tilikum\u2019s death might do a lot for Ingrid Newkirk\u2019s bottom line, addressing the death of J-34 means confronting a complicated and uncomfortable fact: humanity is failing the Southern Resident Killer whales. Their numbers are dropping. They\u2019re listed as an endangered species. Over 50% of pregnancies are miscarried, and 43% of calves are lost in the first 6 months of life. They are some of the most contaminated animals on the planet, with nauseating levels of toxins building up in their blubber supply. Their supply of Chinook salmon, their primary food source, is being rapidly depleted. The negative impact of vessels, including whale watching boats, is becoming more and more apparent. All of these factors have been confirmed again and again by federal and NGOs seeking to help the whales recover.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And yet, with the overwhelming information that the Southern Residents are crying out for help, it is Tilikum who makes the headline, SeaWorld who catches the outrage and moral grandstanding, all while Justin Trudeau\u2019s federal Canadian government approves a tar sand pipline project through the primary habitat of the Southern Residents that may turn out to be the death warrant for one of the most well known and well studied killer whale populations on the planet.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5044\" style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5044\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5044\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loroparque.com\/app\/uploads\/2017\/01\/15970644_613404378843265_1352982012_n_blog.jpg\" alt=\"Tourists disrupting natural killer whale behaviors in the wild. \u2013 Image via WhaleResearch.com\" width=\"960\" height=\"556\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.loroparque.com\/app\/uploads\/2017\/01\/15970644_613404378843265_1352982012_n_blog.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.loroparque.com\/app\/uploads\/2017\/01\/15970644_613404378843265_1352982012_n_blog-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.loroparque.com\/app\/uploads\/2017\/01\/15970644_613404378843265_1352982012_n_blog-768x445.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.loroparque.com\/app\/uploads\/2017\/01\/15970644_613404378843265_1352982012_n_blog-370x214.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.loroparque.com\/app\/uploads\/2017\/01\/15970644_613404378843265_1352982012_n_blog-840x487.jpg 840w, https:\/\/www.loroparque.com\/app\/uploads\/2017\/01\/15970644_613404378843265_1352982012_n_blog-410x237.jpg 410w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5044\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tourists disrupting natural killer whale behaviors in the wild. \u2013 Image via WhaleResearch.com<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is no time left for British Columbia\u2019s whales. They are dying, and every time the public is told that attacking SeaWorld is how to help orcas, their chances of recovery grow even slimmer. On December 31st, 2016, \u201cGranny,\u201d the J-pod matriarch, was announced missing, and presumed dead, the most recent in 2016\u2019s alarming Southern Resident fatalities. Even that wasn\u2019t enough to draw the spotlight toward the silently vanishing whales.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is no true \u201cwild.\u201d Everywhere is marred by humanity\u2019s impact. We must make a decision as a society to turn the tables for the wild whales. We must decide what dies with J-34: either a romanticized and outdated vision of the ocean, or the Southern Resident whales themselves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Works Cited:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">http:\/\/crosscut.com\/2017\/01\/brutal-year-sets-back-orca-recovery\/<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">http:\/\/www.whaleresearch.com\/single-post\/2017\/01\/05\/Goodbye-Granny<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">http:\/\/whalemuseum.org\/collections\/meet-the-whales<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">http:\/\/www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca\/fm-gp\/species-especes\/mammals-mammiferes\/srkw-eprs-j34-eng.html<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">http:\/\/www.whaleresearch.com\/j2<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">https:\/\/www.nwfsc.noaa.gov\/news\/features\/killer_whale_report\/pdfs\/bigreport62514.pdf<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">http:\/\/www.whaleresearch.com\/j28<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">http:\/\/www.nmfs.noaa.gov\/pr\/species\/mammals\/whales\/killer-whale.html<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">https:\/\/seaworldcares.com\/tilikum<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Tilikum vs J34 a tale of two killer whales In 2016, the number of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1703],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.5 (Yoast SEO v22.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Tilikum vs J34 a tale of two killer whales &#8226;
