Orcas Wikie and Keijo have been filmed swimming in decrepit
pools filled with algae. France's biggest marine park shut down
in January but they still haven't found a safe sanctuary for
these orcas.
Public pressure is mounting on Marineland. Will you join more
than 47,000 other Ekō members and sign the petition telling the marine
park to not abandon Wikie and Keijo and find them a safe
sanctuary?
What’s really frustrating is that France’s marine park is going
against the law designed to end the mistreatment of
animals. Wikie and Keijo have already suffered enough,
especially after the loss of two family members in recent years.
Keeping them together and sending them to a sanctuary is the only
solution that puts their welfare first.
Marineland originally wanted to send Wikie and Keijo to a zoo in
Spain with a terrible track record of looking after animals—several
orcas have died there. After thousands of people opposed this plan
it was shelved. But now Marineland must be held
responsible for finding an alternative safe sanctuary for Wikie and
Keijo.
This is where the Ekō community can support Wikie and Keijo in
living a life of freedom and safety. As a global community we can
create worldwide attention on the fate of these orcas and pressure
officials to make the right decision.
Add your name to the petition: save
orcas from a lifetime of captivity.
Time is running out and Marineland needs to hear from us. Your
signature could help change the course of the lives of these
beautiful orcas.
This is a critical moment for Wikie and Keijo. Every voice counts
right now. If we don’t act, they could spend the rest of their
lives in terrible conditions. We have the power to demand something
better for them. Take a minute to sign the petition and share it
with your friends and family. Let’s show Marineland that we won’t
stand by while these orcas suffer.
