Saving the #southernresidents. #animalwelfare #wildlifeconservation #orcas #killerwhales
The loss of J35’s calf and the grieving behavior she has exhibited since. The southern resident population needs all the help they can get. Post coming soon.
“Food matters and animals matter and eating animals matters even more.”
The Marine Mammal Protection Act was passed in 1972, in part, to prohibit the capture of marine mammals in U.S. waters - protecting many wild (and captive) animals from harm. In 1994, the MMPA was amended, stating that any entity offering “an education or conservation program based on professionally recognized standards of the public display community,” can, without legal repercussions, import and breed marine mammals. After years of wild-capture expeditions, Washington became the first state to ban the capture of orcas in 1976. In what would become a historic trend for the park, SeaWorld opposed legislation meant to protect orcas from being captured in U.S. waters. Internationally, orcas and other whales are still captured from the wild and sold into captivity. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) regulates the trade of orcas and other marine mammals, but because many species are considered data deficient and not classified across the board as endangered, their trade is not actively controlled. As it stands, CITES has a limited ability to regulate the trade of cetaceans across borders.
