I disavow any responsibility for orcas. They are predators by nature, well equipped by nature to survive and adapt to their environment, aware of the laws of nature, and fully capable of sinking or swimming on their own. I don't feel like subsidizing their home additions or health insurance, and I have a hunch that the majority of others on this thread feel the same way. If I started doing that, orcas would breed and reproduce without natural foes or hardship, in numbers greater than the eco-system could sustain. I'd then have to start protecting seals and other orca food from orcas, lest things be really thrown out of the natural balance. If things got really out of hand, I might have to start limiting orca reproduction, and even be required to harvest some of them to restore a balance between orcas and their food supply. Don't laugh. It's happened many times before with many species that are much cuddlier and more loveable than orcas. Orca's basic problem is that he believes we should subsidize and have more like him. Yeah, right.
