Abandoned Orcas and Dolphins Desperately Need a Sanctuary

Antibes Marine Park's Abandoned Orcas and Dolphins Highlight Urgent Need for Sanctuary Antibes, France – Two orcas and twelve dolphins are languishing in the dilapidated tanks of a closed marine park, raising serious concerns about their welfare. Activists from TideBreakers have released drone footage showing the animals in distress, prompting calls for immediate action. The orcas, Wikie and Keijo, have been circling their tanks since January, according to the activists. "They are essentially alone," said one activist. The dolphins are also seen in poor conditions, swimming in algae-covered water. Marineland Antibes closed earlier this year following a French law banning shows featuring dolphins and whales. While Marineland claims the animals are well-cared for and receive daily attention from trainers, conservationists argue the situation is dire. Professor Volker Deecke, a wildlife conservation expert, stated, "They need stimulation, interaction with trainers, and exercise. The really important thing is to find them a permanent home as soon as possible." The authorities are working to find a solution, but the urgency of the situation cannot be overstated. The plight of these animals underscores the need for responsible marine animal care and the importance of finding suitable sanctuaries for those in captivity.
