Dolphins and whales are routinely exploited, bred and sold into aquariums around the world – all in the name of profit. We work to educate the public and to expose the issues dolphins and whales face in the aquarium trade. More and how you can help at: https://t.co/6QejvXWKnD
This video was taken at Chimelong Ocean Kingdom, China. Tyson, a captive male orca is seen repeatedly striking his head against the viewing window - a stereotypical habit developed from the stress of his captivity. Please do not support cruel whale captivity.
One of the most fascinating facts about the ocean, is that there are whales alive today who were born before Moby Dick was written.
Some of the bowhead whales in the icy waters off of Alaska today are over 200 years old.
Every year, thousands of Cdn horses endure a brutal 28+ hour journey without food, water, or rest to be slaughtered overseas.
@L_MacAulay you can make good on your party’s promise and ban live horse exports for slaughter.
🚨🐴 #CdnPoli#CdnAg#HeroForHorses
Time is running out, but YOU can still be a #HeroForHorses, Minister @L_MacAulay! The majority of Canadians want live horse exports for slaughter to end—please introduce regulations now to BAN this practice! #CdnPoli#CdnAg
Everything we have learned from them tells us they don’t belong in concrete tanks for our entertainment.
Taking the pledge is one of the easiest ways to take action & show government officials that you don’t support dolphin and whale captivity: https://t.co/wx7P3D8lzy
After working alongside activist Izzy Megilley on the Save the Disney Dolphins campaign and collecting over 29,000+ petition signatures, there are no more captive dolphins at Epcot. Full story: https://t.co/k9iKoLnixM

💔 A report by the Icelandic government exploring welfare concerns around its OWN fin whale hunts revealed that some of those killed can take as long as two hours to die. 120 Minutes of suffering by an intelligent, sentient being, slaughtered to be eaten.
The 2023 report showed that nearly 40% of the fin whales shot struggled for approximately 11 and a half minutes before death, whilst some took over an hour to die. One whale with a harpoon stuck in their body was found to have been chased for five hours without being killed. This barbaric practice has to end!
Despite these shocking findings by Iceland, they continue to issue whaling licenses. In December 2024 Kristján Loftsson was issued a 5-year whaling license to continue slaughtering whales - in a declining market, by an interim government. Loftsson who exports 90% of his whale meat to Japan believes he can ‘continue whaling forever.’
We must #StopIcelandicWhaling. The John Paul DeJoria is being refitted so that it is ready to protect the ocean and its marine life. ✊
CALL TO ACTION: Clearwater Marine Aquarium has applied for a permit to import up to five captive dolphins (ALL captive born) from Attica Zoological Park in Greece for public display purposes. We urge everyone to voice opposition to this transfer at: https://t.co/KQ0YavsFme
Authorities are FAILING to protect captive whales at #Marineland. We need urgent action or animals will continue to die in tanks!

Smooshi the walrus used to live in a barren cage at MarineLand until we forced her relocation - now she lives among other walruses, fish and seals in the world’s most sophisticated habitat. We did that. #SavedSmooshi

This week marks 32 years since Kshamenk, Argentina’s last surviving captive orca, was taken from the wild and confined to concrete tanks at Mundo Marino. He hasn’t seen another orca since his last tank mate died in 2000. We must #FreeKshamenk Follow @urgentseas to join the fight!
