My thoughts are with J50 and her pod who came back without her. This is devastating. I need to take a breath and relax so I can see the screen again wiping away my tears😥 #breachthedams #savethesalishorca #salishseaorcas #freethesnakeriverdam From Ken Balcomb. J50 has not been seen with her family in the recent two days in spite of intense searching. Hope is fading for her survival. "I recall J15 long ago following miles behind the pod for days before finally disappearing. Maybe J50 is somewhere in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, but I am certain she will not survive, and it is amazing that she has lasted so long in the condition we saw her at the beginning of summer. This is what extinction looks like when survival is threatened for all by food deprivation. The Southern Resident killer whales scarce presence in the Salish Sea is another indication that sufficient food is not available for them here, or along the coast. Natural salmon runs must be restored. Chief Seattle was right: 'All things are connected.'” - Ken Balcomb, Center for Whale Research Video @respectanimalrights Edited in Power Director Pro using Gifs and royalty free background videos on youtube.
