Morgan, Loro Parque's last female orca, is reportedly pregnant again.

What is her story? Morgan was found underweight off the coast of the Netherlands in 2010 and was captured for rehabilitation and release but ended up at marine park Loro Parque in Tenerife, where she is confined to a barren tank and used as a performer - a far cry from the wild life she deserves.

It's time to end captive breeding and make this the last generation of dolphins in captivity.

In January we shared the news that Marineland Antibes had closed its doors, leaving the fate of its two captive orcas, Wikie and Keijo, uncertain.

💔 We're now incredibly disappointed to announce that the French Ministry of Ecological Transition has rejected a proposal to move them to a seaside sanctuary, which would have given the orcas a chance to live in an environment as close as possible to their natural habitat.

Exploiting wild animals for entertainment sends a dangerous message that they exist for our amusement. It’s cruel, outdated, and completely unnecessary ❌

The good news? Change is possible and this is what you can do:

1. Choose ethical wildlife tourism.
Support sanctuaries, wildlife reserves and experiences that prioritise animal welfare over profit. These organisations provide environments where animals can recover and live more naturally.

2. Speak up and spread the word.
Talk about the cruelty of using wild animals for entertainment. Advocate for laws that ban these practices and hold exploitative businesses accountable.

3. Refuse to support animal exploitation.
Don’t buy tickets to circuses, animal performances, or attractions where animals are kept in poor conditions. Every choice you make sends a message.

Wild animals belong in the wild, not trapped in captivity as photo props for human entertainment. ❌📸🐯

Repeated exposure to camera flashes can cause stress, confusion, and, in severe cases, permanent damage. This was the tragic outcome for Firmin, a male tiger who was forced to endure flashing cameras during photoshoots until he eventually lost his sight, as reported last week
