    The SPCA are concerned for the welfare of Toa the orca who has been stranded for nine days


    Toa has been cared for by DOC volunteers in a 32,000-litre pool after losing his family in Wellington.

    SPCA Chief Scientific Officer Arnja Dale says DOC will soon to make a challenging decision to put him down or release him.

    She says keeping him in a pool is a non-deal outcome... the water in the Wellington harbour needs to clear up so he can be put back in the ocean where he belongs.
