Orcas and Dolphins Trapped in Closed French Marine Park

Orcas and dolphins languish in closed French marine park. Marineland Antibes, once a popular attraction, now houses 12 dolphins and two orcas in what animal activists describe as inadequate conditions. The park's closure in January left the animals stranded, with French authorities struggling to find a suitable sanctuary. "The situation is heartbreaking," says a spokesperson for TideBreakers, the group that released the drone footage. "These animals deserve a better life, and we urge authorities to act quickly." The proposed move to a Japanese marine zoo was rejected, leaving the future of the animals uncertain. The incident underscores the ongoing debate about the ethical implications of keeping orcas and dolphins in captivity, and the need for better solutions for retired or rescued animals.
