This is #Kshamenk, a captive #orca in #Argentina that was captured by @mundomarino_ar in 1992. His health has been a concern and they still make him perform every weekend. Call 54-02252-430300, ask about his health and demand his retirement. 📽️: @urgentseas & @walruswhisperer

A swimmer from #Spain called Alberto Lorente raised awareness about #cetaceans in #captivity by swimming in circles in a small pool outside #Barcelona. Have you ever seen someone willing to go through the same suffering like those in captivity? Let us know what you think!

An orca from #Iceland and 2 dolphins from #Cuba enter a small tank in #MexicoCity. What's the name of the act?... #Keiko was sold to #ReinoAventura by #MarineLandCanada in 1985. For 11 years he swam in circles with his cuban companions until #FreeWilly changed his life.
