Whale's & Dolphins are such WONDERFUL SMART animals. I don't see why anybody would want to kill them. Not that this post states that, . Thanks Cal for sharing!!

Oh that's a real shame. I was incredibly lucky in seeing some off Orkney seven years ago (they were off Orkney, I was standing on a clifftop and they surfaced right in front of me! looking for seals I expect) and I'd always assumed they were part of the same group. Fascinating and beautiful animals. Thanks for sharing.

How sad ! :( I envy anyone who is fortunate enough to actually see these magnificent animals in the wild. What a rush THAT would be !!

This is sad, there does not seem to be a reason why they are not breeding.

Wow, hard to believe no babies have been produced for so long. I hope they can eventually figure out why and maybe even do something to change the situation.

That's sad. I hope they'll start breeding again at some point.
