Orca cared for by hundreds of volunteers and experts in bitter cold after becoming separated from its pod two weeks ago

On Saturday, dozens attended a dawn ceremony at Plimmerton Boating Club before Toa’s body was taken away for burial by the local Ngāti Toa Rangatira. Authorities decided that Toa’s body would be treated with dignity, opting against an autopsy to understand the exact cause of death.

Wtf happened here!

Sad indeed, but even sadder in a bigger picture. People showed much concern about this baby orca (which of course we all should) while they don’t care about animal cruelty intrinsic to livestock farming. Moo Zooland is 1 of the worst cases in point.

Seems odd to bury an ocean creature on land rather than at sea

Sadly another Covid death

good
