Morgan, an Orca that was captured in 2006, because she was found very sick. But when she was healthy enough to be released, she was kept as performance whale instead.
And now, it's affecting her.
In Loro Parque, Morgan was recently filmed after a show appearing to beach herself on a concrete ledge.
Some call her actions “suicidal,” speculating that she was trying to end her life because she was suffering in a life of captivity.
While the behavior is startling, experts say it's highly unlikely she jumped up on the ledge because she was trying to kill herself. Instead, it was more likely that she was trying to escape other orcas, who were bullying her in the tank.
Either way, Morgan isn't happy her so called "home"
A video was released of Morgan, who stayed out of the pool for nine minutes, but a trainer was able to encourage her to get back into the pool. However, 42 seconds later, she gets on the ledge again. Witnesses describe her being body-slammed by the other orcas in the pool.
They all need to be set free before it's too late. And before the Orca's commit suicide. Is that really how we want them to be remembered?
THEY NEED TO BE SET FREE NOW!!
