On Thursday March 9th Kiska a 47 year old Ocra has died, 40 years in captivity, 12 years completely alone, lonely, sad and self-harming. Kiska was known for being the loneliest orca in the world, at the age of 2 she was captured and pulled from her family off the coast of Iceland. Marineland needs to take responsibility. No animal should suffer through isolation, orcas are extremely social and caring, social connections are evident in all species of whales. Marineland should be ashamed!!! together we can make a difference. RIP Kiska your pain and suffering as ended, swin free.

Here are more incidents that have occurred at Marineland -

Sea lions Baker and Sandy had to be pulled repeatedly from the water and confined in dry cages, in one case for more than two months, to limit further harm to their already damaged eyes. Videos shot in 2011 and 2012 shows them writhing in pain or plunging their heads into a single bucket of clean water. Sandy often sits like a statue, dry as a bone. There’s no lens in Baker’s left eye. When a trainer put him back in the water in April, he barked and it flew out.On May 28, baby beluga Skoot died after a two-hour assault by two adult male belugas in an incident former trainers say points to understaffing at the park. The evening attack unfolded in front of a guide untrained and helpless to intervene. The males bit Skoot’s head and body, spun her around by the tail and bashed her into a rock wall where she stuck. After two trainers finally arrived to pull Skoot out of the pool, she convulsed and died in their arms.Five female dolphins — Sonar, Lida, Marina, Echo and Tsu — swam almost continuously in bad water in a concrete pool in a facility called the barn. Former employees say they lay at the bottom in murky green water or breeched and thrashed wildly, their reactions changing with the chemicals. Their skin fell off in chunks, their colour darkened and they refused to eat. This lasted intermittently for eight months, from October 2011 until just before show season began in May 2012 when their water was changed.And this is not all. With Ikaika's departure, Kiska, their only other orca has been left alone. They hold41 belugas in one complex and the walruses are kept in small, waterless enclosures deprived of human contact.
