> Park officials at SeaWorld Orlando were devastated by the
sudden death of a 30-year-old orca named Kayla — one of the last
remaining orcas at the facility — on Monday.
>
> The orca became ill on Saturday and her health continued to
plummet throughout the weekend.
>
> “Her veterinarians immediately began treatment based on a
physical examination," SeaWorld explained in a news release.
"Although animal care specialists and veterinarians devoted
around the clock attention to Kayla, she did not survive."
> [....]
> Dr. Naomi Rose, a marine-mammal scientist at the Animal
Welfare Institute, described the whale's death as unusual.
>
> “That’s like literally being a 30-year-old woman. Dying at 30
is not normal,” Rose told the Orlando Sentinel, adding that "30
is prime of life" for orcas and they typically live to at least
50.
>
> It remains unclear exactly what caused Kayla's sudden
sickness. A cause of death won't be known until a post-mortem
examination is conducted, SeaWorld said.
>
> The company announced in 2016 that it had stopped its orca
breeding program after years of protests by animal rights
activists.
>
> SeaWorld has 20 orcas left at its parks. There are five in
Orlando, five in San Antonio and 10 in San Diego. Born in 1988
at SeaWorld San Antonio, Kayla is the second-oldest orca ever
born in captivity, according to WTSP.

her son had died at 2 years old and her former mate at 15 years
old. There is a group called Dolphins Project on twitter and
facebook that still monitors the "Cove" it is heinous what is
still happening with the dolphins for seaworld type trade and
they are also affiliated with SS to monitor the whaling which is
equally heinous. I used to love sushi decades ago but the larger
the fish the more tainted the meat and whales and such that are
around Japan and Russia not only have high level on contaminants
like mercury but radioactive particles.

She probably just gave up. Can you imagine being that big and
being stuck in such a confined area?
