It happened in a water park in Canada. 30 seconds of heartbreaking video showing a captive killer whale bumping its head and side on its tank. Her name is Kiska, but she is also known as “the loneliest whale in the world”. Name they gave it from the ‘Whale Sanctuary Project’.
And is his story really lonely. Recent images were shared by the anti-captivity activist Phil Demers, who worked at Marineland Park in Ontario.
Demers himself denounces that “This video was taken on September 4, 2021. Anti-captivity activists entered MarineLand and observed Kiska, their last surviving orca, banging his head against the wall. Please watch and share. This cruelty must stop. #FreeKiska“.
In a second video, Demers shows a closer image of the 44-year-old killer whale, stirring the water and charging fiercely against the wall of its tank. “East it is dangerous and self-destructive behavior. Kiska is distraughtDemers explains.
According to the activist, Kiska was born off the coast of Iceland and has been in captivity since 1979. She has been alone since 2011 after outliving her tank mates, including her five babies.
