Keiko was taken from Iceland to perform for Marineland, in Ontario, Canada. Kiska, the orca that remains in this facility, was captured during this operation, too.

The truth is that Simmons, and captivity businesses like SeaWorld, don’t want you to know that freeing Orcas is a viable option – and an ethical obligation. Because they make money off of the liv
