New Study: After being hunted nearly to extinction in the early 20th century, a population of humpback whales in the southern Atlantic Ocean has almost entirely recovered; from just 440 whales in the late 1950s to nearly 25,000 today. https://t.co/0aHaYKbkCZ

Archive photo of Tilikum at @SeaWorld Orlando in 2011. Trainers mocking the ocean’s top Apex predator. Such a magnificent being.

This was 1 year after he brutally attacked & killed his trainer & they lied about how and why he did—then blamed her.

@debfairfax @JamesTheFAM @Disney Do NOT take your students to SeaWorld. Show them #Blackfish instead.

Tilikum was and still is the world’s most influential animal. His legacy continues to change the world. Not only for orcas, but all animals in captivity - worldwide.

R.I.P. Tilikum. 1/6/17.
Your death will not be in vain.

MarineLand’s empty parking lots fill my heart. The end is near.

Our friends at @Whale_Sanctuary have assisted the Russian government in its efforts to return the 10 orcas and 87 beluga whales to the ocean from which they were captured illegally. Here’s a look at what has happened so far and what’s to come

We already are. But in 50 years, there is no doubt, everyone will.

Watch @longgonewild on Amazon, the unofficial sequel to Blackfish.

R.I.P. Tilikum.
You died in your prime, & though you didn’t choose the world you lived in—you lived long enough to change it.

Watch #Blackfish on Netflix if you haven’t already & then its unofficial sequel @longgonewild.

"The Golden Girls" have appeared in Monterey Bay! These are Transient Orcas CA26, CA36, and CA180 who were believed to be post-menopausal females when they were first photo-cataloged in the 1990s, meaning their current ages are likely somewhere between their late 50s to early 70s

How bad was MarineLand’s attendance this season? They’ve conceded to only remain open 4 days a week for remainder of operating season...a first in their history. Soon, they’ll never open again. ✊️🐬
