INQUIRING REPORTER

North Shore News

UPSET VANCOUVER Aquarium staff broke tragic
news to the public Sunday after the sudden death
Saturday night of the baby killer whale, K'yosha. A
subsequent autopsy revealed that the 97-day-old calf
died of a massive brain infection. K’yosha was separated
from her mother, Bjossa, in October after it was deter-
mined that the baby Orca was becoming malnourished.
Vancouver Aquarium staff created and administered by

hose a nutrient-rich formula for the baby whale who
seemed to thrive on the food. But the formula did not
contain any infection-protecting antibodies found satu-
rally in mother’s milk. Fhe aquarium staff seemed con-
fident K'yosha would beat 50/50 odds of survival in
December when 3 name-the-whale contest was held.
Animal-rights group say K’yosha’s ceath is further
proof whales should not be kept in captivity.

What is your reaction to K’yosha’s

S.1. McAlary

Very sad. But [ think the
aquarium staff did a ter-
tific job in trying to keep
her alive.

1 don’t think they should
keep whales in captivity.

Dorothy Campbell

North Vancouver

Everyone is upset. The
aquarium staff did their
very best, but ! would
feel much happier about
the situation if whales
weren't kept in captivity.

Kelly B Blunden

North Vancouver

It’s pretty sad. I hope it
was a learning experience
for the aquarium staff
because the whale lived
for so long on their for-
mula.

D’Arcy Barker

North Vancouver

1 was really disappointed.
i saw her as soon as the
public was allowed in
October, just after she
was separated from her
mother. The staff did
what they had to do to
save her.
