This weekend a baby gray whale washed ashore. Most who have seen it say that it looks malnourished. Let's not, as humans, take responsibility for the impact we have had on their food source. The lack of food has nothing to do with the pollution that we humans dump into the oceans.
Gray whales are bottom feeders and ingest the garbage that settles to the bottom.
Forget the fact that there was a recent oil spill on the shore of Oregon. Forget the freighter traffic down the Strait and offshore that dump tons of pollution into the ocean. Forget the industries that dump toxins into our waters. Forget the human over fishing and it's effects on the food chain. The theory that an estimated 26,000 whales are somehow exceeding the carrying capacity of the Pacific Ocean is almost unworthy of response.
