- rolph 1y agothese whales would need extensive rehabilitation, and would have to be introduced to other wild pods in any area where they are released. it might be very difficult to untrain them from seeking humans and begging for food, or stealing from fishermen at the risk of hooks or nets.
- beached_whale 1y agoThere are no facilities currently in Canada to reintroduce them to the wild and the ones in Iceland have not done well.
- rolph 1y agoyes thats the problem in this situation. its not cool anymore to keep these [people?] in captivity for a show, such research/rehab facilities are winding down and dissappearing.
- beached_whale 1y agoOntario Today on CBC talked to it and the facilities in Iceland found that they didn't do well and never left even when they could. They've never lived out of captivity. I think the Gov should take over care of them and take enough for 20-30yrs of care from the sale of the property.
