Kshamenk, a 35 year old captive male orca has been stuck in a tiny, decrepit concrete tank since 1992. Its so small that he can barely swim from tank to tank. A tank is not a home. It’s a prison. #FreeKshamenk

@urgentseas Awareness is first. Few know of his existence. Then comes the pressure campaign.

This is so tiny. How can people see this and not realize how wrong it is. How can people support this with their visits?

@ourevolvingeart Not only a prison but torture all alone. Torture for a social species.

It's deplorable the way humans treat all other species. This should be a no-brainer. Set them free!

This video was taken on Sept 25, 2023 above Mundo Marino in Argentina. Kshamenk, a 35 year old captive orca is observed languishing in decrepit and ever deteriorating conditions. He’s been stuck in this tank since his 1992 capture from the wild. His last orca tank mate died in 2000. We must fight for Kshamenk or he too will die soon.

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

Activists are calling on Mundo Marino aquarium in Argentina to release a 35-year-old orca who has been confined to a small tank since 1992. The orca, Kshamenk, stares at the gate of the tank for "24 hours a day." Kshamenk's tankmate died in 2000 meaning he has been all alone for 24 years. Orcas are highly social animals that need interaction with each other. "We continue to work with Argentinian activists and members of Congress to try to highlight and address his cruel world," a spokesperson for UrgentSeas said. "He needs to be removed from his tiny concrete tank and to join other members of his species before it's too late."

Can we please educate the community on what a main tank is? Magneto is not a "main tank." Venom is.

This is so laughable. People's Liberation Army (PLA) tank, designed to spearhead an invasion of Taiwan, sank like a rock in less than half a minute. This tank can swim & sink at the same time.

“Is that the #1 fight you want(for Loma) w/ Gervonta or w/ Shakur?” Egis Klimas(Loma’s manager): “what is Shakur *lowers hand* & what is a Tank *raises hand*. Skill & financially(Tank is a better opponent). He(Tank) is a much better fighter I think. Shakur is a very good fighter, but he goes in a shell he walks away…runs away(in his fights). Tank comes to fight. (Tank)is a more interesting, much more intriguing fight. How dangerous it is makes it interesting, that’s what makes fans interested. Right now For Lomachenko the best opponent to fight is Tank” #Boxing 🥊🥊 🎥: YSM Sports Media

I think Role Rework just eliminated Filup 😭 From what I can tell in this clip, when Darius casts on a target that is next to a tank, he will retarget onto the tank because of the Tank role. I'm not 100% sure if that's what happened, but it's my best guess. Any other ideas?

Incredible courage demonstrated by a Ukrainian tank crew member. His tank was hit by a Russian drone and caught fire, and he got outside and put out fire while tank was on the move. He saved his brothers in arms and a tank. Kudos to you, hero. 🫡
