Featured article
On August 8, 1970, around 80 orcas from the Southern Resident population were captured as part of the infamous Penn Cove captures. Out of the captured orcas 7 are taken and sold to marine parks.
Former diver John Crowe, who appears in the documentary Blackfish, was part of the capture team at the time. He told of how, when the captures were over, there were several dead orcas in the nets. He and two other crew members were then ordered to cut the orcas open, fill their bellies with rocks, tie anchors to their tails and sink them.
When the bodies of some of the orcas washed ashore some months later, there was a huge public outcry of people concerned with the welfare of the animals as well as the impact of captures on wild orcas.
Featured interview
Rescue Spot with Nicole Patrick
Rescue Spot, a technology-driven platform founded by actress-turned-social-entrepreneur Nicole Patrick, is at the forefront of revolutionizing the pet adoption process. In an interview on The Rising Lioness podcast hosted by Erica Salvemini, Nicole discusses her journey from Hollywood to animal welfare. Nicole's non-profit, Chic Chien Chateau, focuses on relocating pets from impoverished areas to affluent ones, saving dogs with life-threatening illnesses. The interview delves into Rescue Spot's development and its impact on streamlining adoption for both adopters and rescue organizations.
Featured animal
Penguins are a fascinating group of birds known for their cute waddling walk and distinctive black-and-white feathers. These remarkable birds are not just found in icy Antarctica; they also inhabit places like South America, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. Penguins belong to a family of flightless birds called Spheniscidae. These charming creatures are built for life in the water, with their wings adapted into flippers for efficient swimming. Penguins are expert divers and can spend a significant amount of time hunting for their favorite meals, such as fish and krill.
