Thank-you for finding follow-up articles. They do clarify things a lot.
It does look like it is human pollution that is the cause of Rhapsody's death and her calf. It is cheep and easy to just dump pollution right into the ocean. People in the city flush everything. They don't ask where it goes. The waste is dumped in the ocean(or lake) and we don't ask where it goes. People for years have thought of waste as somehow being gone once we dump it. We see the results in the whales and other marine life now. We don't realize that this will affect us too.
I don't know if we can save the Southern Resident Killer whales. It would have to be part of a change of behavior in a number of areas.
Why do our shampoos need such powerful chemicals. Simple natural products are the best and have the least impart on the environment.
