Let's save our orcas!

Marineland has a responsibility towards the orcas born in its pools. It cannot ignore how much these animals suffer in captivity, and how fragile the health of this unique family is.

The Ministry of Ecology has committed to considering the proposed sanctuary solutions out of respect for the animals and the spirit of the law passed in 2021. Their fate is now in Marineland’s hands.

Whether in Japan, Tenerife in Spain or other dolphinariums, Wikie and Keijo, mother and son, would be separated for breeding and would continue to be cruelly exploited until their death, instead of finally experiencing a real life in a marine sanctuary. And this even though our partner sanctuary in Nova Scotia may be ready to welcome them as early as August 2026.

We, the undersigned, support One Voice’s request for Marineland and its parent company Parques Reunidos to fulfil their responsibilities. The two French orcas must be sent to the Whale Sanctuary Project, and the twelve dolphins also held by the park must remain there until a sanctuary solution is completed for them.

Marineland must facilitate the process and refrain from transferring the animals to other concrete pools, a commitment that will enhance the park’s reputation.
