How in 2024 do we not have a way to save a whale? Its mind blowing to me

[@MsBhappy]

Will the baby survive or no?

Heartbreaking.

[@daveyjones8969]

It's heartbreaking that the media won't report on the immigration crisis, tent cities, drug taking zones IN hospitals, unaffordable groceries, etc, etc, etc. This is another distraction.

This is heartbreaking 💔 their has to be marine professionals to save this baby orca. Makes me sad and angry 😪😡 that they cannot save and help this orca. Why not? They can send divers to bottom of tge ocean for experiements and other missions. Their are only so many orcas left in the ocean do mainly to mans carelessness, and endangerment to the ocean life. Makes me so saddened and angry. I hope and pray for a safe rescue of this adorable baby orca. ❤️🙏 people should start a protest to get the governmment and marine orginization to get moving quickly. ❤️🙏🙏

🤦‍♂️ you’re so out of depth on this topic, pun intended. Divers haven’t gone further than less than 1% the depth of the ocean, and none of the skills needed for diving translates to capturing an orca. You sum up the silliness of the protestors that go to a rally without understanding what they’re protesting. If you were serious about conservation you would be leading marches in front of Sea World, Marineland, etc. instead of calling for a protest because the people doing more than you are fighting nature. How much money did you donate?

No explanation of what's going to happen next. Are we supposed to just assume it's going to die or what?

[@michelcloutier387]

You know what’s even more “harrowing”? The thousands of tent cities all over Canada. Can we get a flyby over the thousands starving people or are you just interested in the one fish? Unbelievable how stupid this all looks.

Ya well those people have a choice to get a job and work. Sorry 95% of homeless are junkies that don’t contribute to society so why should we pay for them?? Let nature take its course. You don’t see animals in the wild hunting and feeding the weak and lazy they die..

[@daveyjones8969]

You mean the tent cities created by Trudeau and his immigrants? Yeah, there would be coverage of it...if all the media weren't directly taking federal money...

[@daveyjones8969]

I'm so sick of hearing about this with nothing being done for weeks. Stop reporting that there's nothing new to report...

[@crisportugal6703]

So sad

[@bellamommy4]

[@shaniecegullison]

[@Baruk1993]
