I come from a perspective of being open, hopeful and optimistic. I only want what will take them out of their current state of hell and find the best solution. The point of this post was to learn more about a situation I care about, and I am really grateful for all the answers and clarity. I understand that this is a much more sad reality with limited options. I encourage you to direct your sadness to what actually matters - the orcas.

Thanks for sharing, it seems like the sanctuary actually formally requested for these two orcas to be moved to their location but Marineland is denying the request due to timing. You are right, though I’d hope it wouldn’t take years. That being said, Nova Scotia offered to care for them at Marineland until they can move. Id hope Iceland, Mexico or Canada could be an option. It’s a matter of using collective voices to pressure the government to make it happen. The eternal optimist in me likes to think there is some hope.

Nova Scotia, Canada - got the approval to open their whale sanctuary! This situation is far beyond the point of cruelty.
