Southern Residents (puget sound orcas) are the toothless moron hillbillies of the Orca community. They starve in a weird little place that is FULL of food that they are too stupid and backwards to eat.

Given that they are facing extinction because they are starving to death while surrounded by food? They haven’t had a surviving calf in a decade because they are malnourished. Yeah, it is.
The Salmon hats are probably them expressing displeasure and mourning in their starvation since it is the same behavior that they use when they express mourning for a dead calf:

That is the shittiest possible interpretation of the situation.
People act like animals can just magically decide to eat new things. It doesn’t work like that. It’s the same as that stupid koala meme where people whinge about them not eating things put down in their territory.
That’s not how it works, at all. Animals, humans included, have instincts that drive them with it comes to what is and isn’t food. And even humans can turn down things that are technically edible while starving, because they don’t know it’s edible, and we do have the ability to reason out ways to safely try unfamiliar things.

Except that we are talking a group of animals within a species.
Other, genetically identical, Orcas literally swim into the same habitat as Southern Residents and eat all the other shit in puget sound while the resident orcas sit there and starve in the same environment.

You obviously don’t understand fashion
