The court prohibit Marineland from relocating the orcas before the end of the independent assessment
Following our lawsuit, the judicial court of Grasse has forbidden Marineland to move the orcas before the end of the independent expert assessment ordered by the Aix-en-Provence Court of Appeal on September 21, under penalty of a fine in the event of failure to comply. This is a first step.
One Voice is pleased that the court has recognized the need to leave the orcas in the park for the duration of the assessment, to enable the experts to examine the family of cetaceans. This decision was eagerly awaited.
It will enable us to assess their state of health. We recall that Inouk is experiencing serious dental problems, Keijo is experiencing significant weight loss, and Wikie must be deeply affected by the death of her eldest son, Moana, last October.
The assessment will also provide an opportunity to observe the interactions of the three individuals, the state of the park’s facilities and the quality of the water. One Voice will collaborate fully in the interests of the orcas.
Save our orcas! A sanctuary for them, neither captivity nor exploitation in Japan (or anywhere else in the world)!
