Putting orcas in captivity has spawned numourless whales: from the Newport orca to Athena, many have had to live their lives in tanks instead of wild open ocean.

These days, more and more people are seeing why its wrong to have such magnificent animals in captivity. OL and many protests have helped shed light on this. The statistics are terrible: so many more orcas have died than should have happened.

Of particular interest of anti-captivity protestors (me included) are the whales captured from the wild. Corky and Lolita especially. We are know working to free these whales. After Keiko, everything is possible.

I hope you enjoy the information on these whales. They belong in the wild!
