The ocean is rapidly becoming uninhabitable for all kinds of life, orcas included. While we would previously expect a calf to live 60 years, that number is slowly dwindling and may accelerate in a downward direction. Contaminants like BPAs and BFRs are a big deal and already starting to have an effect in New Zealand on the orca population’s food supply.

I don’t know how you expect injured and rejected juveniles to survive outside of an artificial environment. Orcas are social animals, and they need a pod.

As far as stupid/evil, well believe what you like but I just believe in resilience. The same way we should have an arctic seed vault backing up seeds we should have a backup for different kinds of sea life.
