Dead orca hit by boat?

Post by maryjane48 »

Federal officials are investigating the possibility that an endangered orca found on the Sunshine Coast was killed by a boat after the whale showed signs of physical injury.

It will be some time before full results come back from a necropsy performed last night and officials haven’t concluded a cause of death.

Or it could have died from natural causes and then been hit

what if it was a private yacht? Still blaming the tankers? Did deep, I'm sure you can pin the death to a pipeline or the oilsands...

Why does it matter if a dead whale gets hit by a boat....it's dead.

Most likely. As usual if it's dead or native mj makes a grand claim, I think it's because due to an article I read on the making of paper that it is from the guilt from paper making that meant her family murdered millions of things and therefore she must justice warrior it all while stoned and replacing many vowels with numbers to save the world .

Or perhaps jumping to conclusions for personal reasons

And then a whole new industry will be spawned - killer whale sushi! Tanker traffic, the gift that just keeps on giving. :130:

This like investigating a mysterious death pre-autopsy.
What was the "cause of death" since it has not been proven yet?
Was the whale dead before or after the discovery of the body?
Where did the whale die?
How long was it dead before it was observed?
Did the whale hit the boat or did the boat hit the whale?

We don't even know the age of the whale yet. It could just be dead from natural "old age".

The oldest of the southern resident orcas is J2 (aka Granny) and she is estimated to be 105 years old.

You need to stop these practical questions, we all know finding out actual facts of an issue is a bad thing for the SJW's, it is much better to speculate and invent reality than live in it.

What are you TRYING to say? Do we know the age of the dead whale yet? Do they all live to 105?

It shouldn't take much effort to understand what I typed. The dead orca was only 18 years old.

18 you say. This whale probably drifted into an intersection between migrating Dolphins and got smoked because he was texting on his smart phone.
