Two only slightly related items : “An orca baby boom” in Washington State following a year that saw a decline in the number of orcas in the southern resident pods, and a very funny, if highly offensive, episode of South Park, in which the kids teach the Japanese to stop slaughtering whales and dolphins and to start slaughtering cows and chickens like Americans do.  Thanks to Bowsprite for passing it along.

Is Washington’s orca baby boom a fluke?
