Orcapedia: A Guide to the Victims of the international Orca Slave Trade

Please read this book, these whales are so lonely in their suffering and their voices need to be heard. There is one mistake in this book on page 54, which explains the orca, Keet’s profile. The picture that goes with his profile claims it is him on the right and his daughter Kalia on the left but this is incorrect. While the orca on the left is Kalia, the orca in that photo on the right is identifiably and undoubtably Ulises, NOT KEET. You can identify him by the half collapsed dorsal fin as opposed to Keet’s fully collapsed and even doubly curled dorsal fin. Besides that, everything else in this book is verifiably true and I’m glad someone took the time to document it respectfully. Some people may be confused about this but this book is not attempting to simply compare human slavery to orca trade and captivity. Instead, it is simply not afraid to draw attention to the fact that it is one of the many forms of slavery. If you’re going to read this, you need to understand orcas are not just animals but sapient beings, intelligent enough to scientifically be considered non human people and understand culture, identity, respect, remorse, family bonds, empathy, societal structures, and languages as complex as humans. This book documents the horrors they face in captivity because of that.
