Free Corky, the longest captive kept orca in history.

The Issue

Abducted from her family at the age of four, trapped in a concrete tank with other strangers constantly bullied, rammed, and raked. Has family members that she hasn't even met yet. 

It has become over 40 years since Corky a female killer whale was captured from her family and taken to Marineland and eventually moved to SeaWorld San Diego. Everyday, she continues to be surrounded by concrete walls incomparable to the free ocean she explored with her family every single day. She sits there, just waiting for help to come, hoping to reunite with her family. She's been bullied, and almost rammed to death. Corky is forced to perform for her next meal. She needs to be released. 

Corky is not like other whales, she's patient, understanding, and has never done any harm to the other trainers or other whales. It's her turn to be freed. This needs to take place now, free Corky before it's too late.
