Fernando Miranda strokes month-old orphan killer whale Pascuala at the Dolphin Adventure park in Nuevo Vallarta in Mexico's western state of Nayarit in this May 17, 2007 file photo. Pascuala died June 10, 2007, after succumbing to an infection two months after being washed ashore and taken to the aquarium. Owners of the aquarium where Pascuala was being cared for said she would die if she were not sent abroad because there was no tank big enough in Mexico to hold her and she could not fend for herself at sea. The government and environmentalists opposed a move because they feared it would set a precedent of animal trafficking.
