Saving the Orcas Special Report
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 มิ.ย. 2024
- There are just 75 Southern Resident killer whales left in the wild. The plight of the struggling orcas is largely due to three factors: A dwindling Chinook salmon population, pollution, and boat noise interfering with the orcas' ability to hunt. KING 5 Environmental Reporter Alison Morrow explains how we got here and what needs to happen to help the orca population recover. MORE: king5.com/orcas
Please Keep these beautiful animals of the ocean 🌊🐋🐬🦭save sweet babies!! May they all be protected!! 🙏🦭🐋❤️
Thank you for sharing this. it gives me hope that maybe the ORCAS can be saved. I know this video was made 3 years ago but I'm just seeing it now. These Majestic and Intelligent Killer Whales/ORCAS should be able to live in their own habitat without dieing from what humans have been doing over the past several decades. It's way past the time when our government, in the entire country USA has to fix the problems and issues that we have created so its only fair that we as the culprits get busy and make things right ASAP.LONG LIVE THE ORCAS.... MAY GOD BLESS THEM AND KEEP THEM. SAVE THE KILLER WHALES ... Politicians
and Citizens Lets do our job before its too late... Thank you
I’m so happy KING5 is spearheading the issue of the southern Residence Orca’s! I live in Los Angeles and I feel this is EVERYONE’S battle for the Survival of the killer whales , not just Seattle and the state of Washington.
Save the orcas
Thank you for constantly reporting about the southern resident orcas, you guys are awesome.
Thanks for the documentary. It was comprehensive and very informative.
Thank you for this report! Very informative.
I’m so glad to hear this news . It’s amazing
I don't even care to go to the zoo, except I have to admit, they have improved. In an economic downturn, I fear that some animals suffer...especially the larger, more expensive to maintain creatures, such as Orcas. I get choked up just seeing them in a baby pool, you might say. They belong out in open water, free, and in the good health a theme park can never provide. It doesn't surprise me that trainers have been killed. Sometimes the Orcas may not feel well, or may be in pain, but they have to do their job, and it is just a tragedy waiting to happen. Those who agree know the feeling of watching tthese shows. It is very difficult.
I have tremendous guilt for paying admission fees to watch whale shows at theme parks bcuz I didn’t know any better. No way will I ever pay another dollar towards keeping whales in captivity.
@@OanhSchlesingerme too.
Good. Good to see humanity waking up. Unity is all powerful people. We, as a unified people, have the power to force change. Remember that
THESE PEOPLE DO A FANTASTIC JOB
They are so beautiful!!!
They are so beautiful and they need to be saved and not be in captivity they need to live and be free in the wild where they are born to be
So sad, they are the most intelligent creatures of the planet ... love to all the leviathans ❤️
the crows are most intelligent
gaison firout I love love love crows and ravens too! While I’m pretty sure we are correct on their brain ratio size to intelligence factor... I’m still holding that whales have the largest frontal, temporal, and parietal lobes, developmentally speaking, so the most intelligent ... even larger than humans... I actually just learned sperm whales may have a higher advanced language than we humans... did you know orcas, depending on their ocean region, speak different dialects? Just like we humans speak different languages and dialects? I think it’s fascinating! But I definitely wish I could be friends with a crow, no doubt! Allahu akbar my friend ❤️🐋
@@ichangeling2003 crows are mentioned in the quran so Allah distinguish them by cleverness and intelligence because they taught cain how to bury abel
gaison firout awesome man! I didn’t know that... do you know if the Quran says anything about whales? If you can’t tell... I love whales 🤓 One Love Gaison 💗
@@ichangeling2003yeah , the story of the prophet jonah with giant whale
PROPHET JONAH
Prophet Jonah was sent to a community in Iraq. Renowned Islamic scholar, As is the case with all the Prophets of Allah Jonah came to iraq to call the people to worship One Allah. He spoke of a Allah free from any partners, sons, daughters or co equals and implored the people to stop worshipping idols and engaging in evil behaviour. However, the people refused to listen, and tried to ignore Jonah and his words of admonishment. They found Prophet Jonah irritating.
The conduct of his people exasperated Jonah and he decided to leave. He gave a final warning that Allah would punish their arrogant behaviour but the people jeered and claimed that they were not afraid. Jonah’s heart filled with anger towards his foolish people. He decided to leave them to their inevitable misery. Jonah gathered a few meagre belongings and decided to put as much distance as possible between himself and the people he had come to despise.
“And remember when he (Jonah) went off in anger.” (Quran 21:87)
Ibn Kathir describes the scene in iraq immediately after Jonah left. The sky began to change colour, it turned as red as fire. The people were filled with fear and understood that they were only moments from destruction. The entire population of iraq gathered on a mountaintop and begged for Allah’s forgiveness. Allah accepted their repentance and removed the wrath that was hanging ominously over their heads. The sky returned to normal, and the people returned to their homes. They prayed that Jonah would come back to them and guide them to the straight path.
In the meantime, Jonah had boarded a ship in the hope that it would take him as far away from his heedless people as possible. The ship and its many passengers sailed into the calm seas. As the darkness fell around them, the sea suddenly changed. The wind began to blow violently and whipped up a storm of great magnitude. The boat shuddered and felt as if it were about to split into pieces. The people huddled in the dark and decided to throw their luggage overboard but it made no difference. The wind blew and the boat trembled. The passengers decided the weight was contributing to their dilemma so decided to cast lots to throw one of the passengers overboard.
The waves were as high as mountains and the wild storm plunged the boat up and down as if it were as light as a matchstick. It was a seafaring tradition to cast lots by writing down all the names and drawing one person to be cast overboard. The name was drawn and it was Jonah, but the people were appalled. Jonah was known to be a pious and righteous man and they did not want to throw him into the angry sea. They cast again and yet again, but both times the name drawn was Jonah’s.
Jonah, the Prophet of Allah knew that this was not random. He understood that this was in destiny as predetermined by Allah so he looked at his fellow passengers and flung himself over the side of the boat.The passengers gasped in horror as Jonah fell into the water to be scooped up in the enormous jaws of a giant whale
THANK U SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO WILL SAVE IT
Thanks for putting this video up! How can I help? I love orcas
Likewise. I am available to help in any way necessary.
Stop buying crap from Asia
They look so much better in wild with that giant fins i wish lolita gets free again in life
They will never let go of Lolita the wallet😕
@@kingmufasa8929she’s not performing anymore so they may as well. There’s a guy funding moving her to the sea pen and the tank and stadium she’s currently in are pretty much condemned so it’ll prob be cheaper for them to let her go than keep her at this point.
I sincerely hope that the orcas can be saved . There has to be some criteria about all boats having a record of their waste . Be accountable and engines more quietly.
"THEY NEED MORE SAMON-" *Speeding boat with huge air horn noise*
I love how you spelled salmon "samon"
Leave the orcas alone 🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬
I will literally stop talking to everybody if we lose orcas out of our own GREED.
Rain Gardens? I love this. First time hearing about them and their function. I had many ew moments watching this. The pollution is truly abhorrent and only we can stop it! It’s like that lesson we learned in Kindergarten, if you make a mess, clean it up! 🥛🍪🔤
I think its great to shut motor off and if whales come up for a pet they like people and its great
Til they’ve been sinking boats up near Spain. There’s been over 300 attacks in just the last few years. Someone pi$$ed those orcas off.
Loud and clear " everything must change environmentally!"
I don't care which political party you support etc The environment and Mother earth as a whole must change so drastically it's actually hard to comprehend for most.
Example how wolves are a huge part of an ecosystem,Apex predator on the pyramid,what role they play etc regardless of whether you like them or not,hunters who kill wolf parents and orphan wolves the moose or elk ,deer etc who are effected by all of that in a bad way.
Un-biased ROOT CAUSE and affect of this example by the power's that be that can find the right people who will do the right thing for nature's wildlife and Mother Earth
I hope that I am making sense to someone out there!
The elites only care about $$$$ they dont care about us, the whales anything but the almighty $$$$!!
@@kenyabrewer9247 yes your exactly right! Politicians or elites,corporations etc don't care nor have a clue about real science,the real un-biased data
And how important the ocean is to the entire world.
Ty
No more seaworld 😭😭😭😭😭
good Seaworld deserves to die off.
SeaWorld didn’t capture orcas. They saved 37000+ animals. They stopped their breeding program. If SeaWorld dies, animals in the wild who are hurt and endangered, WILL DIE.
@@ripplewavess lol wat u talking about they bought orcas who where kidnapped then there are other companies and projects that save hurt animals not just SeaWorld the only reason u know SeaWorld saves animals is because they promote it.
@@ripplewavess SeaWorld absolutely captured Orcas. Watch the Captain on TH-cam who drove the boat, taking the Orcas out of the ocean. He said they took babies. The mom's chased the boat crying for their babies. They shot the mom's in the head. Put rocks and sand in their mouths to sink them. He said it's the biggest regret of his life.. They also keep the animals their supposed to let go when their better. The Orcas at SeaWorld have bad sunburn, to warm pool water that gives them rashes. They bang their head's against the pool cement. They chew on the cement and break their teeth. They are giving anti acids for stomach ulcers. They breed the female Orcas to early. They take their babies way. The mom cries for day's. SeaWorld was fined for having a to small pool for a lonely over 50 years old Orca called Lolita. The whale that was with her killed himself by banging his head over and over against the cement. Watch Lolita's documentary on TH-cam. Watch Morgan's to. A whale who keeps taking herself out of the pool and laying on the hot cement. Read the trainer's books. Watch Empty The Tanks. SeaWorld is not what you think it is. 💯
@@ripplewavess They can go to Sea sanctuaries. Aquariums are letting their dolphins retire at them.
I’ve seen and watched damn near every video on the southern resident orcas and it’s always the salmon shortage is always brought up but I can never find why is there a problem with the salmon and what’s happening with that?!
They've been overfished, pollution and allot of the rivers that they swim up to breed have been damed.
The dams and overfishing
There is a giant dam that filters the salmons too, it needs to be (at least partially) stop...
We are consuming them the" salmon" their habitat, pollution, dams, etc
There’s a really good doc about the die off but I can’t remember the name or what channel it’s on. I know it’s on yt though so if you search hard enough you’ll find it. If I happen to come across it again I’ll come back and link it.
Do you think with the covid 19 lock down with people been restricted and not on the waters it will help with noise pollution?
Oh yes! Just as you can see deers and bears walking around empty cities
Apparently there are 50,000 Orcas worldwide.
The Federal & State Government need to claim the river & ocean front land as Open Space.
STOP. BOATS
STOP NOISE
PROTEST !!!!
I love orcas 🧟♂️🧟♂️🧟♂️🧟♂️
so.....humans are the problem. So just stop being hurtful to other life beings: )
U didn't know that the worst thing to happen to this planet was man kind
Electric motors. didn't the sea aquariums make the same argument, that what they do is educational? Meanwhile, brushing over the fact they turn a profit.
Can we AT LEAST feed the dead seals to polar bears?!? 😵💫
A very interesting subject spoilt by an overwhelming and dramatic commentary, let the images do the job for you.
Boat owners need to be more vigilant when on the water. If that doesn’t work perhaps WA State legislators can step in to enact a law that prohibits boating times & location. Unfortunately people cannot be trusted.
Mindesten they watched the Orcas in Nature not in Captivities 😩
Shame on everyone who buys a ticket to Seaworld. Since they're pushing electric cars, why not electric boats? That would help with the noise.
Indeed.
boi they arent whales -_- they're a type of dolphin
Dolphins are a type of whale. Dumbass.
@@idontknowanymore2437 correct! but the dumbass comment wasn't really necessary lol. instead, educate: all dolphins are whales, but not all whales are dolphins. whales, dolphins and porpoises are known as cetaceans, which are divided into two main groups - baleen whales and toothed whales. dolphins are toothed whales. orca are the largest dolphin.
As much as I like the video I hate the beginning; starvation is no new problem and you completely missed the shootings they went through before the captures that also impacted them. But their numbers were never plentiful and it’s ALWAYS been a concern. These are not NEW issues, just new to us we just found out about them.
Free lolita now 📳📳📳📳📳📳📳
Go vegan. Stay out the ocean. Help the homeless & in need on land.. leave nature to do her thing. Ppl are so bored with their life’s they interfere with everybody else’s.
That is why the orca kill the sea lion ore sea dog
Freedown for every orcas al over the world in the piscines....." Seeworld ,loro park,,Mariland,etc,etc,etc,and not born un cautivity that is absolument ,demencial cruel unkidness ,and unhealthy.....Education for the childrens is the garamty for finish this crazy hell.and no go to the parks acuátics......is better se in the see jumping and sinsing
With all due respect, how can someone take you seriously. Your talking about pointing fingers but your in a boat 🙄 Why can't we just be sincere for once. Why does it always have to be about views & whose the best at this & that ? Where did people's witt go? So much irony in this movement, it's unfortunate. Let's start making changes, changes that effect the orca directly. For example when you said " we do not have a minute to waste " followed by WHAT THE PUBLIC CAN DO IMMEDIATELY ABOUT IT. Just an idea. You have the power use it to your advantage 🤍🤍🖤
Guys just get out of the water with your boats.
You never buy anything that comes by ship?
@@robertspaggiari7033 maybe we should stop buying everything that's made in other countries and let the wild life have peace from the big ships that come from China. And Stop fishing for a while as well like the Newfoundlanders had to do.
:'(
😱😱😱😱😱😱🙅🙅🙅🙅🙅🙅
HUMAN TRASHES GARBICHES!!!!!
Stop eating salmon people
Must be an american thing. As orcas will eat anything, they live all over the world no matter temperature, Which is uncommon
I love to eat them
What? Fish?
Orcas eat all fish so scare .Had videos for orcas eat human :people swimming and a female coach
there has never been a *legitimate* record in all of history that Orcas attack humans *in the wild.* those videos you speak of probably happened in themed parks (yes, Orcas have killed/attacked many of their trainers, but that's because these themed parks are so *stupid* for taking them from their natural habitat; hence, they feel threatened). these are very social and intelligent mammals (almost like humans). if you mess with them, they'll mess back at you. cross-examine your sources. do a better job researching.
Just another useless environmental report. God aren't you wonderful. NOT. Lost communication with you 60 years ago. Stop trying to frighten people and show how wonderful you are.
