Booming demand for krill as fish meal and omega-3 fatty acid nutritional supplements, however, could leave whales without enough victuals to sustain even their diminished numbers. - Stanford Report

Right whales eat krill as do Blue whales.

North Atlantic right whales are critically endangered with approximately 370 individuals remaining. This includes a very small number of reproductively active females, which could be a factor in their singing patterns and overall population health.

Despite that it was reported a few weeks ago that they had stopped singing because they were starving 🤔

Funny how a few weeks ago they were reported as having stopped singing because they were starving to death- krill fisheries stealing their food.
That news was too upsetting so let's celebrate that we don't actually slaughter them anymore.

CORMORANT CULLING
leads to animal abuse…some half a million legally killed cormorants in the U.S.

Thurman W. Booth, the Wildlife Services Director of Arkansas, was said to have bragged that the cormorant nest on display in his office was the only cormorant nest in the entire state.

"I’m enticed by the unpredictable nature of stitch.
This year I have stitched birds that have special childhood memories."

I also have special memories of cormorants which is why the current cormorant culling is unconscionable.

it’s the haunting mood of the holiday that underlies much of his work

'the smell inside of a pumpkin when a candle is lit—the feel of your face under a mask walking down a road in the moonlight."

Flying pumpkin could definitely haunt me!

HALLOWEEN CORMORANTS?

They are hated and hunted. They are reviled.
Why?
Because they are other-worldly, ancient, turn their backs on humanity and stare meditatively out to sea.

A glimpse of another world, another mind...
