Instead of struggling to find them another aquarium/jail, perhaps those 12 dolphins and 2 orcas deserve freedom in the vast oceans of the planet, even if they may someday meet fishing boats.
Shouldn’t they get the right to try living free, instead of in a very small but kinda comfy jail? [0]

- yesfitz 1y agoGreat question. I think it's informed by what happened to Keiko, the whale from Free Willy, who was never really "free"[1], even after his release. Another risk could be if Wikie and Keijo managed to successfully with a wild pod, they could steer that pod towards contact with humans. Still, I agree they should be released. Humans need to deal with the consequences of our actions, not put the burden on these creatures. 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keiko_(orca)#Evaluation_of_the_re-introduction_process https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keiko_(orca)#Evaluation_of_the...
