Description

In November 2005, Washington’s iconic killer whales, referred to as Southern Resident orcas, were placed at the endangered species list. It used to be a victory long overdue for a fragile population of fewer than one hundred whales. Creator and certified marine naturalist Sandra Pollard traces the tale and destinies of the many Southern Resident orcas captured for commercial purposes in or near the Puget Sound between 1964 and 1976. All through this time, these highly intelligent members of the dolphin circle of relatives lost nearly one-third in their population. Drawing on original archive material, this essential volume outlines the history of orca captivity whilst also recounting the harrowing struggle–and ultimate triumph–for the Puget Sound orcas’ freedom.
