PAOV — Over 222,000 people are urging MarineLand to release Kiska, Canada’s last captive orca, into the care of a whale sanctuary. Kiska has been in captivity for over 40 years, after being captured off the coast of Iceland. She gave birth five times, but none of her calves survived. Kiska has been alone in her enclosure for 10 years. Join the hundreds of thousands of people calling for Kiska’s release, and sign the petition now.

223,501 have signed Molly McKinney’s petition. Let’s get to 300,000!

Kiska is the last captive orca to be held in a Canadian facility in Marineland, Ontario.

Kiska was captured almost 40 years ago off the coast of Iceland and is currently living alone in Marineland. The negative developmental effects of orcas in captivity have lead to a deterioration in their mental and physical well being. Captivity has left these animals without the skills they need to survive in the open ocean. By taking action and placing Kiska into an appropriate facility, such as a whale sanctuary, she can begin to acclimate to the wild and live a more natural and healthy life.
