CANADA'S LAST SURVIVING CAPTIVE ORCA AND OTHER DOLPHINS AND WHALES HAVE A CHANCE AT A BETTER LIFE, BUT NOT IF YOU DON'T HELP TODAY! The Government of Ontario has put forward Bill 80, the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Amendment Act 2015, a bill that will prohibit the breeding, acquisition and possession of orcas (killer whales). Unfortunately, Kiska, Canada’s last captive orca, isn’t going to be included in the ban. This means Kiska could spend the rest of her life in social isolation. You can help make sure that doesn’t happen, but you have to act quickly. In fact, you can help other whales and dolphins at the same time. After all, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to ban orcas, but not the other whales and dolphins who share many of the same biological, behavioural and social attributes as orcas. They should be also be included in the ban. So this may be the last chance for Kiska and other whales and dolphins. Bill 80 will be discussed on Monday May 25th and that’s the final chance for Bill 80 to be amended. Please call or email Kathleen Wynne, Premier of Ontario this week and tell her: 1) That you appreciate the Government of Ontario moving in the right direction by prohibiting the breeding, acquisition and possession of orcas (killer whales), 2) That you believe Kiska should be included in the orca ban as she shares the attributes (such as her large size and her wide-ranging, deep diving, highly social lifestyle) as her wild counterparts. If she is not included in the orca ban, she could spend the rest of her life in social isolation. 3) That Ontario should prohibit all whales and dolphins in captivity for the same reason, 4) That millions of animal lovers in Canada, the United States and around the world will see Ontario as compassionate and progressive if Bill 80 is amended to include Kiska and other whales and dolphins in the proposed ban.
