Stumpy (Screencaps from Killer Whales Beneath the Surface) Here I think it shows just how small she really is (here she is 17)

They say that captive orca are ambassadors for their species. To teach people about them and their life...But the ambassadors they have now lead a completely different life - its not the same as their wild counterparts. Namu even technically completed the ambassador job back in 1965 to teach humans about orca. This argument to keep captive orca in continued captivity is pointless in my opinion.

You want an ambassador that promotes the species and shows their intelligence- teach people about Baby Stumpy. Or Juvie Stumpy - they will inspire people more than a spectacular show.

These two teach us so much about orca- and they haven't even been observed and researched properly.  (Baby Stumpy / Juvie Stumpy)

Happy day today - more people learning about the compassion of orcas through orcas called stumpy!

Which I’m going to start referring to (and tagging) the three stumpys separately to save confusion but not through Id’s as people forget numbers easy

1st, Stumpy (Monetary Bay Orca, Male) will be referred to as ‘Chop fin’ (for ref he has no disability just missing half a dorsal)

2nd Stumpy - (Norwegian Orca Female) will be referred to as Baby-stumpy (Due to growth abnormalities as she is the smallest not due to age, Suffered injuries to Left side ribcage, spine and dorsal in boat collision age 1<)

3rd Stumpy (South African Orca (presumed male)) Juvie-Stumpy (missing left pectoral and dorsal- injuries presumed environmental not accident)
