    Wonderful! When will other owners of these parks with captive whales and dolphins realise that people would be far more willing to pay and see their animals if they could create bays like this where they are displayed more ethically. Let’s hope this isn’t the last of these bays, which is ostensibly the equivalent of a wild life park for aquatic mammals.

    • @Boop__Doop
      @Boop__Doop 2 роки тому +5

      It's just hard to find these kind of bay
      The requirements are
      1 it's around where belugas live
      2 have safety from the elements of nature
      3 have a town close to the bay so the staff can have a home
      4 be in a country Wich is accepting animal rehabilitation
      5 have good water flow in the bay
      6 get the whales from captivity
      7 get the whales to the bay
      However if there were many more sites with these requirements we could rescue Manny whales

      Not enough, a lot of animals are purposely not returned to the wild because they wouldn’t survive. It would be like housing a baby in a room for years with everything being given to it on a plate then expecting it to survive in the woods on its own whens its grown.

    • @CleverClover2023
      @CleverClover2023 3 роки тому +2

      Cetaceans dont have 'instincts'. Everything they learn is passed down from their mothers and pod members...what to eat, how to hunt, the behaviors and language specific to their pods. Its a type of culture. The idea that animals are mechanical thinkers is so outdated. We know so much about their cultures and lives that its clear they are very much like humans.

      Keiko did not die because he was released he was in bad health prior to release. He died of normal circumstances and lived the average age of male orcas. The pro captivity industry painted his release as a failure because it made people think twice about releasing them. I spoke with the manager of his release and read all the reports WSP was successful and Keiko had a great life in the wild.
