Welcome to the real world where you are a slave to profit and don't have any meaningful struggle to engage in. They had a purpose, now it is gone.

They’ve had to deal with warming waters and reduced availability of prey (the Orca equivalent to our ongoing struggles 😭).

Millennial whales complaining that their current lot is a fluke of the economy.

As if a species that routinely engages in domestic violence and the brutalizing and killing of their own children could possibly have the capacity to understand Orca pod family dynamics.

Also going to the whale wash every day. That adds up.

TIL I have more in common with killer whales than billionaires

So whales have manchildren too?

I think the decades long insurgency against world superpowers is a bit more nuanced than that. Like obviously it’s going to be a hard transition. How could it not be?

And the boomer whale blowing up their guts all over the beach. Entitlement

One child policy strikes again.

Dolphins literally hoarding all the wealth amd continue to get wealthier. So sad.

Random internet user, you have no right to make me feel this way

These damn interspecies millenials

I see this but about Japanese whaling a lot but without reference to what whales are being caught (and how much or little they are endangered species), nor what other whaling countries are doing.

It’s not like Japan is harvesting Great Blues on the daily. They’re mostly little guys only a few feet long, or smaller.

And a shitty dam is still a shitty dam!

Sounds like my ex boyfriend and his mom

Sorry, I already called dibs on that slot. Maybe 5.75 hours?

The guy you're responding to is the type to go burn down a small business and then claim they "stuck it to the man" without realizing they just ruined another middle class person's life.

Damn, makes so much more sense.

Yelling punchlines has proven to work.

I mean… its both. After dams are removed Salmon populations skyrocket as does biodiversity and general natural health of the area as keystone species can now spawn further and die upstream. Not to mention steelhead populations.

>They do, but over the last 50 years, we've developed vastly better dams and systems to help offset their effects.

We have the technology, sure, but that doesn't mean that old dams were retrofitted, nor does it mean that the new technology was installed properly. For instance, at least one dam I know of has a salmon ladder that's easily 100' above the water line.

They do but their rent is mediated by lack of housing- or destruction of marine habitat if you're a whale, and their wages are stagnated by the amount of extra effort required to hunt to feed themselves and their families as a result of overfishing. Edit: *overfishing by humans.

Thanks for the summary, you the real MVP!

Except for without enough breeding females it will not flow anywhere
