Federal biologists said Wednesday they are preparing a plan to capture and treat a sick, critically endangered orca if there is no other way to save her in the wild. Despite the treatment, J50 is thinner than ever due to undetermined health issues. "We don't think she has long." The southern resident killer whales don't have enough chinook salmon, the staple of their diet. An international team of Canadian and U.S. whale experts has mounted an intensive effort to help the orca since concerns were raised in mid-July.
