Credited from: BBC

  • The **closure** of Marineland Antibes leads to uncertainty for two **killer whales**, Wikie and Keijo, following a new animal welfare law.
  • Disagreements persist between **campaigners** and zoo managers regarding the **rehoming** of the orcas after the French government rejected a proposal for relocation to Japan.
  • Experts caution against releasing the whales into the wild, noting they lack the skills to survive after being born in **captivity**.
  • Campaigners advocate for sending Wikie and Keijo to a **sanctuary** rather than another entertainment venue, expressing concerns over their treatment in potential zoos.
  • More than **4,000 animals** will need to be relocated as a broader campaign against marine zoos gains momentum following increased awareness of animal welfare issues.
