Free Orca Whales in Captivity
Free all orca whales in captivity used for entertainment purposes, in order to provide them with a normal and healthy lifestyle while simultaneously decreasing the chances of fatalities among orca trainers.
Why is this important?
Orca whales in captivity are living lives full of misery and frustration due to forced behavior by trainers in parks throughout Florida and the United States. As a result, the life span of the whales in captivity has been drastically reduced by more than 25 years; furthermore, the Orca whales do not exhibit normal behavior as they would in the wild. In addition, many "incidents" have been reported involving Orca whales, leading to unnecessary and preventive deaths.
