I've never been a fan of using the name "killer whales" to describe Orcas. The term "killer" does not feel comfortable in my mouth or as it moves through my soul. I haven't heard anybody calling us "killer humans" as we gnaw on our lamb chops. Many animals kill and so do we, i'ts just part of nature. These whales are magnificent and creative hunters, that have specialised hunting methods which vary depending on geographic location. These methods are passed along to their offspring. They are simply fabulously smart and dedicated hunter families.
I'm pretty sure that I don't have a problem with all of nature being viewed as the killing kind-we all kill. Even rabbits kill carrots :D. I just don't enjoy labels for animals or anyone that set them apart from the whole. This to me demonstrates a lack of understanding of our role on the planet.
I don't agree with keeping these animals (or any wild animal) in captivity, but aquariums and the like really do have some educational value and even if you don't agree with that, they enable people to see and appreciate wildlife, when they otherwise might not have had the chance. People do not conserve what they do not know, and love. (I'd still like to see them all set free 12 Monkeys style) 😀 Not really. Just set free and allowed to live life as it was intended for them.
Enjoy this breathtaking video of Orcas both in captivity and wild 😀 set to the perfect music!(which I stole from Fati) Thanks!
