The cruel practice of catching orcas in the wild & keeping them in captivity is brought to light by #Blackfish, which centers on one such orca, Tilikum, who was involved in 3 deaths.
~harrowing subject, but best way 2 honor the suffering of these animals is 2 draw attention to it

Ontario is proposing a ban on horse slaughter at provincially licensed slaugherhouses—but horses can still be sold & transported through the province to be killed elsewhere ⚠️🐴 Animal Justice is urging Ontario to close this loophole! Have your say before Oct 23, 2026! 👉 https://t.co/iYwlWNNwFB

BREAKING: Caspian, a 27-year-old female beluga, is the 6th animal to die after being shipped from #Marineland to aquariums abroad this summer 💔 She deserved so much better.

Unusual sightings of orcas off Mozambique - scientists are seeing them regularly and the change is sudden as orcas were not seen previously in the area.

Sightings shifted from zero to happening at least once a week starting in late 2025.

This is why orcas are the apex predator of the ocean

As Netflix documentary My Octopus Teacher showed, these marvellous creatures are too intelligent to be factory farmed 🐙

The mind of an octopus can be compared to a three-year-old child’s
Are we really going to trap them in barren tanks of water while they await slaughter for food?

One of the easiest ways to help the ocean and sharks is to understand where the provisioning of fish comes from, the methods used and if still eating fish, look for more suitable methods and refuse to consume those coming from these destructive procedures.

Day-38 🔴 Red Cove 🐳🔴

【日本語文は英文の次にあります】

#MelonHeadedWhale 〈18 killed, 1-2 babies were dumped)

All 9 boats left the harbor at 5:43 a.m.
Formation confirmed at 6:33 a.m.

The pod, which had been large at first, was split into two groups on two separate occasions as the hunters drove them. The larger one escaped, while the smaller one was driven toward the cove. As they were being driven, the pod split again; the larger one escaped, and the smaller one was driven further. This was the same method used the other day for Melon headed, the species intended for food.

However, today, it seems the hunters reduced the number of whales they were driving too much, so the larger group that had escaped out to sea was chased again. Ultimately, a group of whales — appearing to number nearly 20 — was driven into the Cove. Around 7:37 a.m., the nets were set and the whales were trapped. Sure enough, they were Melon headed whales. Moreover, the group once again included several calves.

I will say this again and again: there is a legal obligation to make every effort to avoid catching mother-calf pairs during the Taiji drive hunt.

Around 8:20 a.m., they loaded one or two small calves onto a skiff, covered them with gray sheets, and headed out to sea. This is the dumping of calves alone. In official reports, this is called a “release.” It is despicable.

After that, all approximately 18 adult ones in the Cove were killed and carried to the slaughterhouse in the harbor by 3 skiffs.

2026年10月8日(木) #カズハゴンドウ　
初め大きかった群れは猟師たちによって追われながら2度にわたり二分割された。大きい方のグループは逃げ去り、小さい方のグループがコーヴに向かって追われた。追われながら再度分割され、大きい方は逃げ、小さい方がさらに追われた。先日と同じ食用向けの種への手法だ。

しかし今日、猟師たちは追う数を減らしすぎたようで、沖の方へ逃げた大きな方のグループが再び追われ始めた。最終的には20頭近くに見えるクジラたちがコーヴへ追い込まれ、7時37分ごろには網が張られ閉じ込められてしまった。やはりカズハゴンドウだった。しかも再び複数の子どもたちがいる。

何度でも言うが、太地の追い込み猟に対しては、母子ペアを避ける努力義務が課せられている。

8時20分ごろ、彼らは幼い子ども1-2頭をスキフへ載せてグレーシートで覆い隠し、沖へ向かった。子どものみの遺棄だ。これは報告上、“リリース” と呼ばれる。卑劣極まりない。

その後コーヴの大人たちおよそ18頭は全て殺され、3隻のスキフで港の解体場へと運ばれた。

One of the biggest mysteries to me is that orcas are the most efficient predators on Earth, yet they’ve never hunted humans in the wild. Maybe they know something we don’t

[Nature Unedited @NatureUnedited]

Cows are actually really good swimmers and in Ireland they’re taken by boat to graze on offshore islands

A pod of melon head whales were driven into the bay and seven calf's were included approximately 18 whales were killed, and taken to the slaughter house and probably one or two calf's were abandoned offshore. inhumane treatment to the worlds compassionate whales🐬💔 😭
