In this week’s episode, we offer an honest account of the recent Orca "attacks" on boats off the Iberian Peninsula. From there we discover the truth behind the last Orca in captivity, Tokitae (Sk’aliCh’elh-tenaut ), and her avoidable death.

We find that there are many ways to help, both big and small, in becoming an Orca Ally. References can be found below.
