BC’s Killer Whales

Summary: Killer whales are very scarce and have very few left in the waters. There are 85 whales between the waters on Washington and B.C. These whales are under threat from toxins, acoustic disturbances and diminished food supply.” The southern residents’ whales are so polluted with toxic chemicals that they are currently four to five times more contaminated than the highly toxic beluga whales of the St.Lawrence Seaway in Central Canada.” Everyone needs to pull together to fix the pollution, help get more food and lower the toxic contamination from these killer whales so the life span can be longer and they can produce more whale species like themselves. Even though people are trying to help these species. The federal government is refusing to use SARA to protect Canada’s 500 species at risk.

Opinion: In my opinion, Killer whales should be taken more care of and the government should help protect them. People are being very dumb about all this and that people should start taking more act in trying to lower contamination, raise food supply and hope so a good result such as a better environment and more species to be made from the longer life span of the whales. No one wants to be in a bad environment so why have innocent animals in a bad environment. More and more species are becoming at risk everyday and less and less people care everyday.
