- When is the time for freedom? Is it ok to keep intelligent, ocean-going beings in small concrete tanks? Ingrid is a cetacean (whale) biologist, world-renowned for her work with orca. She has researched, observed, photographed, surveyed, championed, lectured-on and rescued orca here in New Zealand and across our globe, from Antarctica to Alaska.
To help promote research, as well as provide platforms for conservation, Ingrid has founded cetacean-orientated non-profit organisations at both national and international level.
“I am passionate about protecting marine mammals, particularly orca - and about education for the public and inspiring them to make a difference themselves. The best thing that happened for me last year? I rescued a stranded orca and spent time free-swimming with them in the wild.” This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
One of the very few TED talks that are actually worth listening to.
The American company mentioned is (quite obviously) SeaWorld, and the Spanish facility is Loro Parque in Tenerife. Thought I would share for anyone interested, since Dr. Visser clearly could not call the companies by name due to some rule.
This woman love orca's so much that she decided to get her PhD in orca-life.
What a beautiful human with a beautiful mind who in my opinion deserves a price.
I've seen this lady stand a whales dorsal fin stand up cause it was curved over I couldn't believe it she's amazing
It hurts to see how little attention this video is getting. I will do anything I can to help make this happen!!
i feel the same way :(. people don't even care about these animals.
Me too have you any links please thankyou in advance jojo
me too
@@HangNguyen-wu2bj many people care, and those of us who care must educate the others.
@@valmacclinchy 👍👍👍🏆
Ingrid you Do much for the Orcas, you are the greatest.Thank you verry much.
We need to do better as humans!! We seriously do!! This is heartbreaking 💔
Bless you Dr. Visser!
Ingrid is a amazing person her knowledge on Orca's and how she shares her knowledge with us is very cool. Its the saddest thing known that killer whales are like us but live in the water and they've been captured to perform for money and being in captivity they go crazy. I hope one day all of the Orca's that are in captivity will have there chance to live in a sanctuary and experience some sort of freedom.
Save the Orcas. 🐬🐬
Wherever Ingrid goes, there are Orcas. She could be on top of Everest and it wouldn’t surprise me to see a pod of Orcas floating in the air. It is almost like they know that Ingrid is their biggest advocate.
Thank you Dr. Visser for your endless dedication and commitment to helping Orca (from rescues to research to educating the public). I will communicate this information respectfully to as many people as I can.
Dr. Visser is amazing! What an inspiration. She has definitely opened my eyes on this subject. Beautiful TedTalk.
6:53 I gasped loudly!
WTF are they humans or monsters for treating this poor soul like this!!!!!
It was painful to see that image.
This is an AMAZING presentation!! I really hope they are able to complete the whale reserve she was talking about!!🙂🙂❤️
More people need to see this
Never ever will I visit Sea World!
i would rather die. than visit any venue that exploits animals
Same!!
Oh Ingrid you are so inspiring thank you for being a strong, learned and compassionate advocate for these guardians of the ocean ❤ May we please have an update on Morgan and your whale sanctuary? 🥰
I wish there were more comments on this video. Dr. Ingrid Visser, you are my hero. I've always felt a connection to these animals and even as a child I didn't want to go to Seaworld because I thought it was cruel. I'm grateful for you and I'm grateful for the work you do for them. Thank you
I will donate as much as I can to help build and maintain any sanctuaries for Orcas
If I could I would donate to organizations like that to build and maintain sanctuaries for all animals who need help.
2.9m to set up. 1.4m per year to maintain.
Me to
Yeah well where on Earth is this hypothetical sanctuary going to get it's inmates?
You’re amazing doctor Ingrid 🙏🏻 Thank you so much. If you need assistance I’m willing to volunteer ❤️
Ingrid is my heroine. ❤
God is going to have a special place for you you are an angel
Thank you so much for you work, Dr. Visser 🙏 I used to be afraid of Orcas and many other sea animals (afraid of the water in general), but fear was not far away from fascination for me and through education i was able to learn more and fall in love with these animals. I'm not afraid of them anymore :) Even though i haven't seen any of them irl, they mean a lot to me and i appreciate someone doing something and advocating and working for them, so Thank you!
Tnx u Dr. Ingrid Visser for all you do and always doing your very best even when the chips are not in favor, sadly!
I love seeing interpreters in these videos.
Thank you, Ms. Visser for your work on behalf of the Orcas. Through the education i see more and more people becoming aware of the plight of captive animals.
She has done so much to advance our knowledge of these amazing animals. I live in Florida and because the water is so warm here all we have around out there are sharks.. no Orca. And my first knowledge of them was highly misconstrued until we visited Shamu at Sea world when my children were small. I was horrified but my children loved getting wet by her/him (at the time I did not know that this wasn't the original animal). After this many years later I ran across Luna's story and THAT'S when I first became aware of Dr Visser's work. In Luna's day humans didn't actually swim with him but somewhere along the line Dr Visser discovered an incredible relationship with these magnificent entities and I've been following her work (and rescues) ever since.
God bless you Dr. Ingrid
You are a very special person.
You're a hero orca lady
Dr. Visser, thank you so much for all your hard work . Your such an inspiration. Like you I developed a fascination with orcas at a young age. Now I’m an activist for them and tell everyone all my knowledge about them .
I wish I was a billionaire. Id give all my money to end captivity.
Don’t do that they might get hunted while they are where they truly belong
Thats nice to hear, id do the same....
Rich get richer because they really don’t care
But you can avoid going to acquarim, sea world / theme park n dolphin/orca shows for now😉
Omar Videos r u watching this video to 13:03 ? THERE IS A BIG OCEAN SANCTUARY for prepare captivity orcas to the freedom.
Thank you.🕊️
Ja jestem przeciwko męczeniu orek w pokazach❤
Dr., you’re amazing. Thank you!
I saw the documentary BLACKFISH and was never so disgusted in my life. It totally changed my mind about sea life. Seaworld and anything like them should be banned worldwide.
Orca surfing! Love it.
It is heartbreaking to love whales so much for their intelligence and empathic abilities; the same qualities that lead to their being "pimped for peoples entertainment". To see their suffering, not just in captivity with orcas and dolphins, but all cetaceans with ship strikes, fishing gear entanglements, noise pollution, or general pollution. I hope there's a breakthrough in translating their communication for those who dont seem to already recognize their cognitive level. Blackfishs' impact has faded. Supposedly Seaworld has seen an uptick in sales recently. In 2012 there was a bigger push to solidify some form of non-human rights for cetaceans. I believe in India they actually do have such standing.
love dr visser 👏👏 she's such an inspiration to me
Thank You Dr Visser .... Well Done!
Witnessing the mistake humanity made here. These shows actually must not be forgotten. Hopefully a lot of hands ✋ know that truly loving something is letting it go........
Love to you. Thank you
thank you.
You have brought me along on a journey about my favorite creatures on the globe.Thank you so much.California Jason
I am so grateful for the work you do
Id love for Lolita to be there, and have an opportunity to be in contact with other Orca after years without any real companionship. (the other dolphins dont count their not ORCA like her) Or even to have even a slight chance to be in some contact with her mother who im sure thinks her baby to be gone forever. Plus of all the scientific opportunities to see how Lolita would do with meeting her family after such a long time and prove how great their memories are and that for wild caught orcas its possible to be reintroduced to the wild like with Springer and Keiko.
Though i think the greatest issues with Keiko (and Luna) were how attached he was to humans and that we couldnt identify his mother like we can with Lolita
Orca are part of the dolphin family, so Lolita is a dolphin, not a whale. However, introducing her to other Orca has to be a carefully controlled process. They tend to get aggressive with those they are not familiar with. If they ever free Lolita (which I doubt they'll do, sadly)....and decide to put her with others, it will have to be a slow transition. Can't just throw her in with any old Orca. And truth be told, dolphins communicate in similar ways....it may be that she can communicate with the dolphin around her and vice versa. Not that it justifies anything. She has always deserved her freedom and the company of her own group. It says so much about the selfishness of human beings that she hasn't yet gotten that freedom or company.
Jay It does not matter what you would love. This is not about you.
No I think Lolita will adapt better. Cause if I remember correctly she knows her pod's dialect. She was taken from her pod a little older than most of the orcas in captivity. She knows how to hunt, how to communicate. The problem with releasing the orcas in captivity based on 3 things which are 1)the pod's location 2)culture barrier 3)hunting. They know the location of her pod. She knows the culture of her pod, language. And she knows hunting. It can be happen if the cruel madman who prisons her decides to release her finally or (I hope very very soon) when he dies.
@@ayblablabla Cruel madman? I think you have been watching too many Disney movies.
@@tessdurberville711 First, my main language is not English so sometimes I tend to forget little differences between similar words and that effects my usage of words. And second of all yes that man is insane. They offered him lots lots of money to free Lolita and he refused all of them saying he "loves" her so much and continues to keep her in a small tank. If this isn't madness then I don't know what this is.
100% agree with everything stated
I actually agree with you they should not be in captivity they should be free so I don't know why people don't think that that is wrong but I am very proud of you going around and trying to make them see that that is wrong and it makes me very upset that they are in tanks so thank you for speaking out like you are to try to save these animals
i am surprised she can tell that without having to drop a tear - so many times she had to do this...
Awesome work Ingrid, thankyou for doing what you do.
Freedom for all animals 😭
Like and comment so that this video gets some more recognition :) I think it would be really cool to see this become a real thing!!
Right yes we do
incredible. i hope the sanctuaries do come into fruition in the near future.
Amen.
very passionate and articulate. thank you
When I was 11 I think I sent this marine biologist an email asking her all my burning questions about Orca that I couldnt find online. I dont think she responded, it's cool I can understand why LOL I'm 22 now and I'm grateful because if it hadnt been for Ingrid my love for Orca would have been misguided. Happy to announce I have never once been to SeaWorld I swear against it no matter how much I wish to unite with them. 😩 Thank you Ingrid for your hard work! I really do hope the captive Orca are able to find safety peace and harmony 🥺
I hope and pray and would love to see sanctuary
You are so inspiring, Dr Ingrid Visser!!
Stop buying tickets to see these animals! It's entirely heartbreaking. 😔
I love this woman!
I dream of a place where humans and orcas are free.
beautiful words, the world need to heart it !
Yayyyyy 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
this is way better than seaworld
I am just learning about! this! I will never go to Sea world’
Help spread the word. I went in the 90s, before most people knew all of this...wish I knew then.
I always thought that, San Diego seaworld is on a bay, why not block part off and let them live there. This is much better, and I assume you can visit and see these magnificent creatures, great idea, is it going to happen?
It's hard to see these orcas in captivity compared to the ones in the wild but I haveHope in the future that this all changes
Great news! something changes in 2020?
We once had human zoos, for the very same reasons. I recently learned we still do. Take the Jarawas, from the Andaman Islands in the Indian Ocean, one of the last surviving indigenous people on Earth. They number about 400 people. They are used as a tourist attraction for human safaris. Recurrently, tourists throw bananas or sweets at them from their vehicles and order them to dance. Believe it or not, there are more examples like this one. In China, there is a theme park populated with midgets, forced to live on the premises. Etc ...
no wayyyyyyy,, do you hav documentaries or links to other sources of knowledge??
Bless you for all your work and effort. I'll never forget what i learned from Blackfish. I ain't cheering for it, but, i wouldn't mind if we all get swiped away by covid IF that meant that all cetaceans could live in peace.
We need to spread the word: STOP BUYING TICKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately Morgen remains in captivity, Lolita/Tokitae will be released from captivity after over 50 years of spending her life in a concrete box. Here's to hoping that she'll be reunited with her mum, Ocean Sun.
She is amazing
This is horrifying! Humans have a lot to answer for
That Is an Apex predator with eyes on the side of it’s head.
Im crying. How can we help Morgan.
Snap. this is outrageous!
Just her buy veneers and teeth whitening products but they expensive
Heartbreaking
😭 😭 😭 poor orcas . I am so ashamed of human behavior
3 years later has it been done?
I am from BRSIL 🇧🇷🇧🇷 AND AGREE WITH ALL YOU SAY. INGRID.
U MUST CONTINUE WITH YOUR GREAT WORK!
FREEDOM FROM THE ORCAS, BELUGAS AND ALL CETACIOUS IN CAPTIVITY!
BUILD MORE SANTUARIES LIKE THE ONE PROPOSED BY A BRASILIAN POLITICIAN A SANTUARY FOR THEM IN THE ATLANTIC! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
All talk and no action.
I love orca. They know that we need them and that they need us, for the sake of this world. My 6 year old and I dream of swimming with them in the wild
Way to intelligent to be kept in captivity its undeniable they have family bonds its so sad seeing them in sea world etc, i wouldnt pay to see them if i ever get to see one i dont want it to be performing tricks for a treat
I wish I was a billionaire. I would give all my money to keep captivity and rescue animals in need.
these intelligent animals really matter as ambassadors for compassion and care. We must respect the inherent physical, social, and emotional needs that comes with their engaging personalities.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I have no money but I would love to help any way that I can.. Thank you for using your platform to speak out against this. I Watch all the UA-cam channels about the killer whales 🐋 I pray we can get them out of Captivity because it is so cruel 😢 💔 and heart breaking. They are so very intelligent and they deserve better. And why any human beings would want to do this to any animal is beyond me..THANK YOU!!
What can I do to help?
Why can’t all the seaworlds do this in 2021
I have never been to an aquarium .. I refuse bullies im sorry Morgan xx
Please explain why Orcas are attacking boats off the coast of Portugal and Spain?
At this point, I'm baffled that there's still a debate going on as to whether captivity of marine mammals is right or wrong. Anyone who really loves and really wanted to see orcas would surely prefer to see them in their natural environment anyway, right? Holding a lot of hope for the seapens/ sea sanctuaries to exist. Great supporter of Dr. Ingrid Visser and her work.
Hope will not pay for them.
Dear Sea God help Lolita and all the Orcas in their unnatural habitat to go to the pen sanctuaries🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬
Every orca should be released
HOW CAN I HELP? WHERE CAN I DONATE? WHAT CAN I DO?
Change da world
My final message
Goodb ye
💔
I’m from Ireland 🇮🇪 we don’t have anything like that here but I genuinely can’t believe these parks are still going I’d never support um came across dolphin parks in Spain on hols agin I wouldn’t give um any attention
I totally agree this is the worst thing they can do, orca are my favourite animal we need to stop orca from dieing in captivity. it's so awful i hate it no more plastic or polusion.
PizzaPopstar - pollution , it’s too late , Japan is a radioactive disaster
My heart breaks for wild orca Morgan miserably unhappy in forced breeding program in captivity.
8u won’t they need therapy first before they can be visited with at the Sanctuary?
You mean rehabilitation to teach them how to survive in the wild?like teach to catch a live fish?
Can orca kill the great white shark
