It has recently come to my attention that Morgan, the majestic orca that is held in captivity at the Loro Parque in Tenerife, Spain has recently given birth to a baby.
Conditions in captivity have been extremely tough for this whale and we, the undersigned, believe that should be released and left to live the rest of her life in peace, in the wild, in her natural habitat, and enjoy motherhood. There is no future for them at this park if we don't do anything to speak up for them.
We must come to her aid and fight for her freedom, because her situation is certainly not normal. It was also reported that Morgan’s baby, Ula, was in very poor condition, after contacting a potentially very dangerous infection. Theme parks officials were quick to deny the story, claiming that a small group of radical animal rights extremists have taken over the Internet and have been spreading misleading information. The park also questioned the credibility of the experts who reviewed the photos and came to the conclusion that Ula had not been properly taken care of; in addition, the statement also says that these activists have only one mission: to make these theme parks look bad and not about helping orcas.
I want to ask a very important question for the estimeed readers of this petition: how would you feel if you were in Morgan’s position? How do you think it is to be trapped in a small swimming pool and not be able to enjoy the vast, glorious ocean? And this is not a temporary situation (a few days or so), but forever. I can’t even begin to describe this experience – one that is unbearable, in my view. Just think of Morgan and her adorable little baby in these situations.
Please support my campaign and be a voice for Morgan the orca and her baby. They deserve better than this! They deserve to be out there in the wild, enjoying life! Thank you all for your interest in this matter.
PS. Scientists believe they have found Morgan's family in the wild. It's essential to pressure the authorities to do the right thing and reunite everyone, in the vast oceans in this world!
The full press statement from the theme park is available below. Please be aware their view of the events is extremely dodgy and contains a lot of misleading information:
