Severed Whale Fin Found on Washington Beach
Friday, May 25th, 2007
Someone walking a dog along a Washingotn beach found a 100-pound severed orca fin on Tuesday.
The dorsal fin was found on South Beach at Twin Harbors State Park near Westport. It was just sticking right up out of the sand.
Canadian officials said the fin belonged to T086, an adult female transient killer whale known to Canadian researchers since 1984 by the distinct markings on the fin.
The fin had clearly been cut off with a knife, however, the rest of the whale hasn’t been found.

Who would do such an awful thing. So sad for the loss….hope justice finds the SOB who did this.
I’m from Washington State, and I hate this sort of thing. What a waste. To kill an Orca…bleck.
