Another captive orca has lost his life behind concrete walls. Kshamenk died on Dec 14, 2025, aged 37, after 33 years in captivity. Taken from his pod at just four years old, he spent most of his life alone. Orcas belong in the ocean, not in tanks.

France has confirmed that captive orcas Wikie and Keijo will be moved to a seaside sanctuary in Nova Scotia 🥳
After months of reviews, the government has ruled out transfers to other marine parks and says keeping them in concrete tanks is no longer acceptable.
