Steals a half million and gets out on bail while some male perp steals $35 from a gas station and they throw away the key. White privilege (Wait she’s black? Never mind.)

If they can identify and locate the whale's pod quickly enough (typically within a few days of separation) there is a chance. Otherwise, it has to be a captive until someone figures out a better way.

And killed her? I guess that's mercy.

For those in the US who can afford to put away money, the most common retirement plan, is making a median wage (so somewhere around $55k), contributing up to the company match of probably 6%, using pre tax dollars, putting it into index funds, and relying on a 4% drawdown rate.
If a 25 year old did this, and wanted to retire at 67, that $275/month contribution would get them a nest egg of $760k, which would be 30,400/year, with no room for safety with market fluctuations.

The best method may be simply to introduce her to a pod and hope the whales can find a way to show her the compassion humanity so cruelly denied.

I don't know why you're being downvoted. Capital is too expensive because credit is too cheap.

When they realized that demographic changes in the us were going to make difficult for them to win democratically they just decided to throw away democracy.

Nope. Not qualified myself but, as an American, I feel free to critique others publicly. I’m an independent (socially liberal; fiscally conservative) but I think history will show that this guy overstepped his authority.

Orca's eat a lot. Most animals in captivity take substantial effort to rehabilitate into the wild so that they don't just die. There's not really a good program to do that for Orca's. Seriously, it's orders of magnitude harder and more expensive to rehabilitate an animal.
Lets put this into a human anology. A kid who speaks only Japanese does something at age 15 and spends the next 20 years in the US in a Supermax with only Russian speaking cellmates. Then spends the following 20 years in solitary confinement with no language. Then is released onto a street in the US with no education, no assets, no job skills, and no support network. What do you think would happen? And that person would be much better off than the Orca.
It's unlikely the park could afford rehabilitation, even if they wanted to.

Thx, I was seriously wondering ….
yeah it’s worth the chance out in the wild. I can’t imagine she couldn’t kill something to eat, they lure & kill birds near the tanks ?…..(I know nothing but am hopeful)

I remember those commercials playing 100 times a day when I was a kid, and always begging my parents to bring me. I also thought it was a lot closer to me than it actually was too.

Yes, they got a break on their tax bill.

Is it possible they were originally lowballed to give them a break on their tax bill?

A fifty percent jump should make anyone notice.
