No it isn't. It's supremacy at its worst and shows just how superior humans, especially white humans think they are. Let nature take its course and stay out of it. This is no better than white people helping black people because they think that black people are dumb and incapable of helping themselves.
Its amazing how he feels comforted by the people. Like any baby gentle caresses and love make him feel less lost. He understands that people don't mean to do him harm. Poor thing. I hope that he was reunited with his mommy.
Toa knew that he was being cared for, fed around the clock, protected as he slept and swum with as he exercised etc in a visceral/real-world sense. Orca definitely have the intellectual capacity to understand that something (else) is feeding & caring for them in that instance, even at that age, but what he really thought of his carers and how he processed that in emotional terms is simply beyond us.
They have the right person in charge. Ingrid Visser is the perfect person to help take care of baby Tao and I guarantee that beautiful Orca is in good hands! She has dedicated her life to Orcas. Thank you Ingrid for everything you do.
Similar case happened in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, about 10 years ago. A baby female orca calf (Pascuala), found trap in a fishing net in Nayarit. No pod near by found. She was relocated to a zoo/aquarium in Puerto Vallarta and kept in small tank, and they fed her according to SeaWorld San Diego suggestions and help, but she didn't survive more than 2 months, despite the healing of the skin wounds made by fishing net. Lactating calf are likely to die within a few days without their natural source of milk.
There was seal at beach Sumner out of the water if the pod went South :) can we call the pod back with a sound or too far, cheers to everyone up there, go the jacket and the hat-saved him.
Toa's pectoral & fluke injuries were successfully rehabbed and he was back to swimming ok, but the rough weather prevented any further attempts to locate his pod at that point. Sadly, after the stress of his injuries and being away from the support/security of his pod, he eventually passed away before the stormy weather had subsided and his pod could be located again.
Toa's pod had left the area (of his stranding) a few hours after it had happened, understandable as they could no longer hear him in the water and thus lost their communication connection to him. Miracle (his mother) and their pod were tracked heading further around the coast and across to Kapiti Island to get out of the stormy weather, but they didn't come back into Parerua harbour until many months later.
they should of let toa go straight away, his pod would of heard the calls, if he died in the wild it would of meant to be because that's mother nature!!!
Toa was immediately swum back out to his pod TWICE, in very dangerous sea conditions, by local volunteers. His injuries (from the initial stranding) meant he could no longer swim which is why he kept washing up. His pod moved up the coast because they could no longer hear him as he was stranded out of the water, so the decision was made to rehab his injuries and try to get him back to his pod asap. There are less than 200 NZ orca left alive thanks to human effects on their marine environment, so any effort to save them is well worth it to counteract the massively negative human effects upon "mother nature". If you saw a human baby injured and lying on the ground by itself would you tell everyone to leave it alone to die? Do you take (or give family members) medicine or go to the hospital, why not just leave your health to mother nature as you preach?
@@Nui. His pod was spotted near Kapiti island but they didn’t let him go, I do believe if they let him go earlier he would of eventually made it to his pod. A human baby is very different than a orca, I don’t get your point? of course I would help a baby are you stupid? I’m meaning it’s nature, if Toa died it’s Nature! it Happens!
@@cupcakkexpeaches2217 You hillbilly. If we left it to nature despite the human interference in their cycle. Orco would have been extinct by now. For the wrong things that are inflicted on nature, we gotta try and correct it.
@@crunchbumbum4009 • died of a broken heart. I wouldn’t doubt it tbh being just how closely tied together Orca mothers are w/ their Babies and the whole Family Pod.
I wish they would have kept that little ocean pen up with him in it for a while longer. Poor baby, he died within two weeks of being tagged and released from his pen. It just makes me sad, cause at least he had people loving him and giving him attention as well as feeding him while he was held in the ocean pen. Poor little baby missed his family 😔
Seriously, what are you actually talking about? Baby Orca Toa died peacefully in his sea-pen, in the arms of his carers, and he was never tagged or released! You are right about him missing his mother and pod though.
@@anabacic100 jeez. Get your facts straight, man. It really makes me sick how people completely ignore how many good things SeaWorld has done to marine animals. You focus on the parts you consider "bad", when there's absolutely nothing wrong with what they're doing. Open your eyes already! Why are you letting foolish agenda brainwash you?
@@anabacic100 and by the way. Prisons, in a way, *are* human rescue organizations. They help people rehabilitate themselves morally, and if it doesn't work, then they protect human society from danger (temporarily at least).
Like many wild animals, Orca can be susceptible to picking up human diseases/illness so NZ DOC protocols ask that anyone handling them wear masks/gloves as a precaution. Given the calf was already in a weakened state (from it's injuries) it was a wise precautionary measure.
Orca (like most wild animals) are susceptible to picking up human diseases and illness via direct and air-borne particle contraction. DOC protocol was to wear masks to avoid any further harm to the baby orca, so it makes logical sense.

@@useme2305 No they did not and you have zero evidence that they did. What is wrong with you people?

The fact he had baby sitters to make him not stressed out ❤ these orcas so intelligent. 😭
It so nice to see people helping animals in need of help
Absolutely 😍 hopefully he makes it back to his family 🙏🏼🤞💙

Poor baby... 😭
I remember that.
The baby ORCA is soooooo cute ❤
Dr. Ingrid Vassar is one of the best Orca researchers out there. So relieved that they were able to help this young orca out.
Poor little Toa. May he rest in peace 🕊
I love Dr. Ingrid's work. Amazing woman.
Rest In Peace Toa ;(
💖🐳💖😢
I absolutely love this Doctor 👩⚕️ 😍🥰😘
Well Done everyone for taking care of him 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Poor baby Toa, he died before they could find his mother. I was hoping he was united with his pod
He had probably gone too long without her milk. 😢
The better angels of our nature definitely 👍
Why he looks like a cute lil doggo 🥺❤️
bel salvataggio
Let’s hope he finds his pod very soon 🙏❤️
Toa died Angela!
@@AsIseeitPattiDail so very sad. Heartbreaking 😞
@@angelamcbain7763 Yes it is heartbreaking!
Hello Angela
Dr. Ingrid lovely, lovely lady.❤
I hope they find it's pod ♥️✨
Toa died! And they found Toa's pod very nearby! They killed Toa by not letting him go! His family was right there!
I am a proud Kiwi...great work and not far from me 👍🇳🇿
Bugger, Toa has died...RIP little Dolphin..
ORCA
@@AsIseeitPattiDail Yes, Dolphins, or Whale Killers .

Rest in peace toa
Hope they found the baby's pod 😇
Hope he or she makes back to the pod.
Sadly, he didn't.
I hope they have enough milk for him. 🥰
He died unfortunately :(

@@sandrawilkinson3782 yeah. Rip Toa
Does anyone have an update on this story? I just bumped into it
RIP little Toa :( I just read the news, he past away
Hello Alice
😢😢😢😢💖🐳
how did this turn out?
He died ten days later. They were unable to find his pod.
There was seal at beach Sumner out of the water if the pod went South :) can we call the pod back with a sound or too far, cheers to everyone up there, go the jacket and the hat-saved him.
SeaWorld punching the air right now
SeaWorld is no longer allowed to take orcas
Any updates to the story?
Toa's pectoral & fluke injuries were successfully rehabbed and he was back to swimming ok, but the rough weather prevented any further attempts to locate his pod at that point.
Sadly, after the stress of his injuries and being away from the support/security of his pod, he eventually passed away before the stormy weather had subsided and his pod could be located again.
So what happened??
Does this happen often?😦
Not very often with Orca, but things like pilot whale strandings happen more frequently.
💖🐳💖
Very difficult. The caretaker is the whale world.

Thor 😂 Good Name ‼️
It’s Toa
@@kaylaadlington7364 Ah ok, thank you. Toa is good, too ❤️
Did they ever find his pod?
Toa's pod had left the area (of his stranding) a few hours after it had happened, understandable as they could no longer hear him in the water and thus lost their communication connection to him.
Miracle (his mother) and their pod were tracked heading further around the coast and across to Kapiti Island to get out of the stormy weather, but they didn't come back into Parerua harbour until many months later.
I heard the little one died?
Toa died everyone! Long time ago! RIP Toa!
Hello Katherina
Can someone confirm if he got reunited with his family I can’t take the suspense
I looked it up on Google. This Orca died 10 days after this video was posted. The cause of death is unknown.
What happened to him?
