PAOV — MarineLand opened this weekend for its 2022 summer season. One of its residents, Kiska the orca, has been kept alone in her tank for over a decade. Kiska was born in the wild, but has been in captivity for more than 40 years. Over 270,000 people are calling for Kiska’s release to a sanctuary, so she can spend her final years in peace. If you agree, sign the petition now.

270,707 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.
