In a historic ruling, Canada has just banned the breeding, selling, trading and captivity of cetaceans (dolphins and whales). The cetaceans housed at Vancouver Aquarium (one Pacific white-sided dolphin) and Marineland Canada (one orca, Kiska, five bottlenose dolphins and over 50 beluga whales) will be the last to suffer behind tank walls. • While some animals can thrive in captivity, cetaceans can not. Dolphins (including orcas) swim great distances every day in the wild, engage in complex hunting strategies, dive to incredible depths, and live complicated social lives. These instincts are all still present even in a captive-born dolphin, driving the animals to the brink of insanity due to a lack of ability to fulfill their biological needs. Dolphins in captivity have significantly shorter lifespans, often show signs of zoochosis (repetitive psychotic behaviors linked to boredom and deprivation), fight and injure one another out of frustration, and are regularly confused and distressed by the distortion of their sonar abilities in a tank (in the ocean, dolphins use sonar to track prey and detect objects from great distances away). • Many cetaceans have led tragic and short lives in captivity. Too many stories too devastating to tell have continued to surface for years from facilities like Seaworld, Marineland, and other captive dolphin attractions. • For Canada, those painful stories are now coming to an end. While the cetaceans currently languishing in Canada’s two facilities will leave behind haunting legacies to remind humans of what we are capable of, no more will be born to suffer. As a society we are striding towards progress. May every dolphin swim free! (Photo via @hsiglobal)

I am very passionate about my job and dream of becoming a Killer Whale Trainer. Considering many people have shared misinformation in the past, I decided to address one of the most common claims regarding Orcas in human care: Worn down teeth. . As you can see in this picture of Inouk I took in April 2019, he has worn down teeth. Tooth damage is well documented in the wild as well as in captivity. Some Orcas have “good” teeth, others do not. . Extensive tooth wear has been noted on the teeth of older individuals. Most adult North Atlantic type 1 killer whales have severely, worn-down teeth, which is consistent with a diet of suctioning up small fishes. Adult offshore killer whales in the Northeast Pacific also have highly worn teeth, likely caused by a diet that includes sharks with highly abrasive skin. . If you look at all the articles regarding tooth wear in captivity, you will see that they do not demonstrate that orcas suffer any well-being issues because of their dental damage, they just speculate about such a possibility. They speculate about pain and discomfort, but they do not provide evidence, simply because it is not possible to verify any of these presumptions just by taking pictures 40 meters away from the orcas. . Orcas, which feed on many sharks in nature, erode the teeth to the edge of the gums and then often die miserably. Killer Whales, which are eating other type of fish, show in their natural habitat significant wear down the teeth as you can see in captivity. . Orcas have no hands. They also do not touch with their flippers, because they have other tasks than human hands, although they are anatomically in a similar position. Orcas feel their environment with the mouth. Tongue and teeth are necessary for exploring the environment, as well as playing with toys in human care! . Unlike in nature, infections or other diseases rarely develop in the first place, and if they have then it will be quickly resolved after a relatively short treatment. Anyone who has the opportunity to look at a stranded Orcas teeth, e.g. during a necropsy will be able to see that it is difficult to find a perfect row of teeth. #blackfishlies #blackfishsucks

"Les orques étaient tellement brûlées qu'elles ne pouvaient plus ouvrir les yeux pendant trois jours" Ancien soigneur au Marineland d'Antibes, @johnjhargrove milite aujourd'hui auprès de @onevoiceanimal pour dénoncer les conditions de vie des orques en captivité. Pour lui, c'est une "abomination". #marineland #orques #captivitykills

We’re sure you’ve probably already heard the good news, but in case you missed it!! From @ellasavestheocean: “IT JUST HAPPENED!!! Canada has now officially banned the captivity of cetaceans!! Bill S 203 is now to become law!! Never again will shameful places like #marineland be able to buy another whale or dolphin to hold in captivity! I am so happy, and proud of EVERYONE who fought to make this happen.” #YoureNextHawaii #ThanksButNoTanks #captivitykills #wildandfree #dolphins #animalrights #savetheocean #oceanconservation

SOUND ON! Diving in Tofo is like this... We love our oceans! Repost from: @mozambiqueexperience

Loro Parque has confirmed that nine-month-old Ula has finally been introduced to the other females in the pod and is interacting with them on a daily basis. However, she has yet to meet the Park’s three male orcas, Keto, Tekoa, and Adán. Born on September 22nd, 2018, Ula spent the first 15 weeks of her life separated from the rest of the pod, including her mother Morgan. Despite Morgan’s “ideal maternal behavior” towards her calf, she was unable to produce enough milk to nurse, prompting trainers to begin bottle feeding. Direct contact with other orcas is essential to Ula’s development and wellbeing as orcas are such highly social, emotionally complex animals. Hopefully Ula and her pod-mates can make up for lost time and begin building their relationships over the following months. - Caption: @cetacean.inspiration Video: Loro Parque
