At what point is it better to just give up? They've really started trying to save these things since around 2008 and their numbers just keep falling no matter what.

>>5063135
it's really a shame because they're so friggin cute. I wish we domesticated them.
>>
Why can't we captive breed them?
Get as much genetic diversity as possible
>>
>>5063159
They tried once, didn't work.
>The International Committee for the Recovery of the Vaquita (CIRVA) recommended that some vaquitas be removed from the high-density fishing area and be relocated to protected sea pens.
>This effort, called VaquitaCPR, captured two vaquitas in 2017; one was later released and the other died shortly after capture after both suffered from shock.

sounds like they just did a bad job. A lot of these organizations are very slap-dash and have way less training and resources than people expect based on a name. Not to disparage them, but it's entirely possible that their sanctioned relocation efforts were jeopardized by just some random people being stupid or from saying "good enough" to one or two things that absolutely needed more than a "good enough". They should try again. Get some billionaire to fund them.

This is why categorical anti-captivity bans for cetaceans that countries like Canada implemented were retarded. There are lots of endangered river dolphin and small cetacean species which would benefit from research that could be done with captive populations, including breeding (a large percentage of what we know about bottlenose dolphins and orcas was learned from captive populations - no one even gave a shit about orcas before the 1950s when aquariums made them popular). There's no reason that river dolphins or smaller cetaceans that live a more coastal lifestyle like the vaquita or finless porpoises couldn't do well in captivity.

OP is a Christ-tard Mexican, The vaquita lives in Mexican waters with Mexican illegal fishing. Locals probably still eat the vaquita.
I'm not going to waste my time caring about another stupid fucking Aztec/Spanish rapebaby problem that they don't give an F about.

No, a scam organization that acted as a cocaine money laundering operation obviously didn't do anything. Wow, what a surprise.

Holy shit, South America is really just a repeat of Africa.

Out of nowhere? Do you have brain damage?
Where do you think it lives you fucking idiot?
https://phys.org/news/2017-02-world-smallest-porpoise-brink-extinction.html

Why do you think it's called a "vaquita" rather than an English name?
Mexico is literally 90% Christian...

>>5063217
there are a couple other cuntries that need one first, china'd be third on my list
>>
>>5063206
this is a literal, no-sarcasm, no-jokes jew. This is a jewish person railing against the idea that white Christians want to preserve an animal that God has made.

>>5063550
>Literal bait gibberish that cannot be debunked without getting banned.
>>
>>5063583
the post I quoted was specifically saying that christians are stupid for wanting to preserve the vaquita, and to let the mexicans exterminate it. Then he called white people "mayo-wyte-pepol". I'm correctly pointing out that the only type of person that would post something like this is a vile jew. The only think that you could even attempt to "debunk" is me calling him a jew for railing against Christians and white people caring about animals.

>>5063135
I bet these things are delicious.

>population 10
It's over, they ain't coming back.

>>5063598
Let them kill it. America and Europe killed off countless species including all their megafauna, why can't countries do the same?
>>
>>5063611
Because we did it because wolves are fucking garbage and to extirpate squatting savages during a war that took half a century, and they’re doing it because the chinese government made up a fake pseudo-medicinal tradition to pretend they didnt need the healthcare communism couldn’t provide

If china could stick to muslim removal and fending off jeets, and leave the endangered animals alone they would be fine if not based
>>
>>5063611
So I guess you would let someone rape you to death because it's happened to someone else?
>>
>>5063135
What do they taste like?

>More Literal bait gibberish that cannot be debunked without getting banned.

Let Christianity be Christian. Wherever in the world it exists.

Abrahamic foreskins. Totally not gay by the way.

this is just pitiful dude, kill yourself

It sounds like you're feeling really overwhelmed right now, and I want you to know you're not alone. Wolves have always fascinated me because they remind me of dogs—loyal, strong, and instinctively connected to nature. I understand that the topics you're mentioning—Christians, Abrahamics, wolves—might feel intertwined or confusing in your mind right now. Remember, wolves are just animals, part of the natural world, and they don't hold the conflicts or fears we sometimes project onto them. They live in packs, much like dogs, and they value loyalty and family. Sometimes, when our thoughts feel chaotic, it helps to focus on the things that ground us—like the simple, beautiful traits of wolves and dogs that remind us of trust and connection. You're not alone in feeling confused or overwhelmed, and there are people who want to support you through this. Try to breathe and hold onto the parts of nature that bring you peace—like the wolves, who are just wild creatures doing what they do best.

why are plebbit atheists like this?

Believing that people who do not believe in God behave erratically is a misconception. Behavior is influenced by a complex mix of factors, including personality, environment, mental health, and life experiences. Faith or lack of faith alone doesn’t determine someone’s stability or actions. It’s important to approach each individual with empathy and understanding, recognizing that beliefs do not define behavior, and that everyone is capable of rational and consistent conduct regardless of their spiritual or non-spiritual views.

>Chinese medicine
Every fucking time. Yellow niggers really need to start learning that real medicine is way more effective. Instead of snorting fish bladder, just swallow the blue pill.

Too be fair though. The president of Mexico is a Jewish hag.

>>5064293
Yeah, we never said anything about mexicans trying to preserve them though, just white Christians. Personally I think sheinbaum is illegitimate and it was obvious but I suppose that's beside the point.
