🚨BREAKING: We are heartbroken to share that Kshamenk, Argentina’s last captive orca, held at Mundo Marino, died this morning. 💔🐋
After more than 30 years in captivity, Kshamenk’s life was marked by isolation and suffering. While this loss is devastating, we take some solace in knowing that he is finally free.
More information to come.
Rest in Peace, Kshamenk. 🙏🌊🐋

After 25 years of loneliness, in a crumbling, small tank accompanied only by dolphins, kshamenk passed away at age 36. He fought hard, and until the end, and now I hope his soul will forever be at peace. Swim far, big guy, I'm sorry we failed you.

Approximately 60 Bottlenose dolphins that were driven into the Cove yesterday (they were estimated 30-40 yesterday though), 11 were transported to Moriura Bay and 3 were transported to Taiji Harbor, and a total of 14 were imprisoned. ➡️
You will be missed, @JaneGoodallInst 💚
Jane will always be remembered as a trailblazing, compassionate spirit who honored every animal. We encourage everyone to follow in her animal-respecting footsteps by going vegan.
PETA will be planting a monkey puzzle tree in her honor.

The Japan Fisheries Agency has not yet officially announced this season’s quota, but I was able to confirm them with the Wakayama Prefectural Fisheries Bureau.
This year, the number of Bottlenose Dolphins has decreased by 10 from last year to 263, for a total of 1,814.
イルカ猟の今シーズンの捕獲枠を水産庁はまだ公式に発表していませんが、和歌山県庁水産局にて確認が取れました。

Taiji, Japan: Approximately 10 Risso dolphins were driven into the cove today in Taiji, Japan, then quickly herded under the killing tarps, where they were brutally slaughtered.
no lives were spared.
Sadly, We had the first Red Cove Day of the 2025/26 Drive hunt season. 
Two years ago today, marked the end of Tokitae's suffering on this earth.
Her decades in captivity are a stark reminder of the cost of human entertainment when it comes at the expense of other sentient lives.
Organizations from all over the world joined forces to finally FREE KSHAMENK.
He’s spent over 30 years confined to a tiny tank, without seeing another orca since his companion died 25 years ago.

This is Kshamenk, Argentina’s last captive orca. He’s been in these concrete tanks at Mundo Marino since 1992. He hasn’t seen another orca since 2000. Orcas are social animals and live with their families in the wild. Solitary confinement is akin to torture. Free Kshamenk!
