A big thank you to everyone that turned out to peacefully protest Gulf World Marine Park in Panama City Beach, Florida yesterday. Their days of abusing animals are numbered now. We will not be silenced. More protests to come!

This 30 minute time lapse video was taken above Mundo Marino aquarium in Argentina. Kshamenk, a 35 year old lone orca languishes motionless in a decrepit, tiny concrete tank. This level of neglect is inexcusable. We must fight for Kshamenk before its too late. #FreeKshamenk

This is Kshamenk, Argentina’s last captive orca. He’s been in these concrete tanks at Mundo Marino since 1992. He hasn’t seen another orca since 2000. Orcas are social animals and live with their families in the wild. Solitary confinement is akin to torture. Free Kshamenk!

Heartbreaking video of Kiska, MarineLand’s last orca’s tank prior to and just after her tragic death. Let her legacy be that of inspiring great change as she’s the last orca that will ever be in captivity in Canada. #RIPKiska

BREAKING: Yachters in Spain are now using homemade stun grenades to deter orcas from getting close to their vessels. We cannot allow this destructive and painful practise to be normalized. We must protect these orcas from further escalation and possible harm.

This is Lolita, the Miami Seaquarium’s last orca. She was captured in 1970 and has lived in this tank ever since. Her last orca tank-mate Hugo died in 1980. That’s 53 years of captivity and 43 without another orca. It’s akin to torture for such emotionally complex, social beings!

This video is of Kiska, MarineLand’s last orca. It was taken in 2011 moments after her last tank mate was removed - leaving her completely alone. These haunting cries are of her calling out for other whales. She died on Mar 9 2023 after 12 years of solitary confinement. #RIPKiska

This video was taken at Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium in July 2024. Buffett the manatee has been living in solitary confinement since his last tankmate died in 2023. Mote has ignored the public’s plea to relocate Buffett to join other manatees. As a social animal, he suffers alone. #FreeBuffett
