I walk or cycle or tidepool this coastline several times per week and am always happy to see so many people doing the same-- the cultural and environmental value of the Pt Pinos headland is precious to us all and million more.
Be a voice for the voiceless. Let your children’s children and their children grow up knowing these beautiful creatures exist. Make a difference, be the change. <br>
Save our orcas.
The endangered southern resident orcas are facing extinction. Their most important need is food, a daily consumption of Chinook salmon. Our elected officials, who work for us the people, need to listen to what the experts have reported over and over, what we have been telling them, over and over, stop dragging your feet, open your eyes and see what they need, look at the state they are in. 3 dead newborn calves in a row is 3 too many! <br>
Open your ears and listen to what we have been saying, listen to the whales!! They are starving! They need more salmon. Remove the dams. <br>
Don't just think about it, no more hemming and hawing over it, just do it!
Please for the love of everyone, open the damns. The orcas are starving. They only eat salmon. The only calf this year is perished, born the same time my puppy was along Alki. Stop harming higher level beings. Whales, elephants, pigs they all feel and communicate. As humans we are responsible for keeping life alive. We are all connected. Once predators parish the ocean will die, all life in the ocean. Stop eating their food. We are able to grow plants to sustain ourselves. God created animals to be smarter than humans so humans can’t trick them. The rivet in the system will kill every human. There is no way for us to adapt that fast. We need to grow plants. Those are my whales and I feel personally harmed by the damage people have committed to my planet. You killed my baby. You forced me from my home because of outrageous rent increases. When is life going to be more important than cold hard money?
As a species we spend billions in the hope of finding intelligent life amidst the stars, while stealing the lifeblood of those here on Earth. Before looking heavenward, we ought to seek to get our house in order here, on Earth, of which the oceans are a majority shareholder, and protect the wonderful, bright, loving creatures that inhabit it.
As a fish biologist and orca follower, I strongly support removal of the Snake River's four lowermost dams as soon as possible. This most necessary action would benefit both orcas and highly depleted anadromous fish runs.
Please give our dying Orcas a fighting chance. They are starving. Their babies are dying. They need salmon. And so do humans. Their future is our future. It is critical to restore the web of life.
Sharks are a HUGE part of the Marine life food chain. A huge part of society has made an ego or expectation around sharks. Not one of them have actually tried looking into why they attack, or even the numbers of deaths per year due to shark attacks. You go into a wild animals home and expect them not to act on their natural instincts. What people don't realize is that 22 of the 120 shark attacks are provoked, meaning a little under half of the attacks are because someone decided to poke the bear and found out. Sharks are misunderstood and are being punished and cruely killed to be created into a soup. Sharks die a slow and cruel death just for some food, they drown them.
This action is extremely inhumane, imagine you as the shark and someone cut off your arms and legs. Not only would you not be able to do the things you love, it would be much harder to live and get through life. These sharks are dying of hunger due to these cruel actions. Also sharks are a huge part in marine life, so this means that the food chain could collapse, causing other species to over populate. This needs to be stopped.
