Credited from: CNN

  • The closure of Marineland Antibes in France has triggered significant discussions regarding the fate of its residents, especially two orcas.
  • Management announced the closure due to a new law prohibiting cetacean shows and direct interactions, effective from December 2026.
  • Initially, there were plans to transfer the orcas to a marine park in Japan, but backlash arose over concerns for their wellbeing.
  • The French government has suggested relocating them to a sanctuary in Nova Scotia, or potentially to Loro Parque in Tenerife, Spain.
  • Animal rights activists argue the sanctuary is the best option for the orcas, emphasizing the need to prevent further performance demands.
