I agree, unfortunatelly I was one of the visitors ... :-(

5 out of 6 orcas that Loro Parque holds, were born in captivity and 4 are from SeaWorld. Morgan was rescued in the Netherlands, and she can't be released due to the fact that she has hearing problems. She is not owned by LP, but by Dutch government.

I wish i knew what to do to help them. 😢

No need to. If they were released, they would be exposed to bacteria that their immune system never knew, and also pollution. Loro Parque is one of the most modern animal facilities in the world, It's deepest pool is 40 feet deep and shows aren't essential, shows are one part of the interaction between the trainers, they are well-fed with hundreds of pounds of fish per day. If they were released to "Sea Sanctuaries", they would not be also exposed to pollution and illness and also they would be stuck in the nets and die for drowning. Remeber Keiko/aka Willy? All that activist thing that he was free and "died of natural causes" is a illusion. He was just dumped in the ocean by ignorant people, and travelled seeking for human contact, but he didn't, he couldn't catch fish, and starved to death.

I meant, they should not be in captivity at all,if they are healty phisicaly, they suffer mentaly for sure.I understand that they would not find they way in the wild now...People should stop using animals for making money just because animals can't speek.We think we are so much smarter than animals, but infact we are worse in every way possible!

@@Lorn.mourningstar they dont get punished

@@kotorandcorvid4968 yes they do they are starved thats why they do these pathetic tricks just to eat you fool

Loro Parque tiene dos orcas con aletas collapsadas(Tekoa y Keto).La razón de porque sucede esto no se sabe pero que se deba por "estrés,depresión,tristeza" definitivamente no,ya que no tiene nada que ver que su aleta dorsal (que sirve para estabilizar)se dobló y su estado mental.Esto sucede solamente en machos adultos y no en jovenes o en hembras(hay una orca hembra en Seaworld,llamada Katina,que tiene 2 hijos,Nalani hembra de 13 años,y Makaio un macho de 9 años y tienen de igual doblada que ella,como si fuera genetica)ademas si supuestamente en el mar son felices,a Keiko,orca de "Free Willy" se le tuvo que volver a poner recta,si seguimos esa logica. Lo mas probable es que se doble por la diferencia de presión que hay en el oceano y cautiverio,ya que en el oceano hay mas profundidad y por ende mas presión y la mantiene recta o también puede ser porque en cautiverio estan mas expuestas a la superficie. El collapso también sucede en orcas salvajes pero rara vez se ve.

No estoy en desacuerdo con lo que dijiste, pero me gustaría añadir que keiko nunca pudo volver a su vida “normal” como orca salvaje, además de que, una vez atrofiada la aleta de una orca es difícil que se vuelva a poner recta. Sobre todo lo demás estoy de acuerdo contigo.

@@larrymoonlight2786 its not small, its perfect

@@zocki5053 Not for a giant animal that roams the oceans.

Source: www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2019/03/orcas-captivity-welfare/ So yes, the spaces where these orcas are kept are far too small, and you would never be able to make them wide enough.

Camille Jauregui yeah and if you release them in the wild they will die

Cybertronic Gamer So don't take them from the wild in the first place. I never said to release them after they've already been captured but there are places where they can go and not perform and be treated like crap, common sense

Camille Jauregui yes i agree with that and i dont mind that porforming if they possibly manage to fence of a big chunck of the ocean for them

As soon as you hand feed these animals it’s game over for them so technically people who are paying to see them are now the ones keeping them alive so don’t blame the people paying at the gate. As soon as we turn our back on the captive whales they will get neglected more and more and abused more and more. I hate this more than most people by the way but you have to understand by being away from the ocean they start to lose their hunting instincts. Check out a story about Luna the orca to understand where I’m coming from with these beautiful mammals interacting too much with man you can’t just simply release them now

Completely agreed. Seems the only way to stop it is ... some how convince a people to stop buying tickets ... but I my opinion this can only happend in next 20-30 years. Our society is bassically still not enough mature ;-(

Zoos are here to save and protect animals. Almost all of them would be dead by now if they lived in the ocean.

Pues,de alguna manera deben conseguir dinero para mantener el parque,pagar impuestos,la comida,etc.Vale millones todo eso junto.Digo lo mismo que el comentario de arriba,no todos los zoo son asi y no en todos lugares los maltratan.Segun leí,Loro Parque salvó 9 especies de loros de la extinción y ademas creo que tiene una especie de Loro (Spix)que esta extinta en libertad y obvio,no los pueden liberar. El cautiverio no siempre es equivalente al sufrimiento o abuso animal.Hay animales que están por peligro de extinción(Tigre bengala,oso polar,león,etc)otros porque no son aptos para volver(el ejemple claro del acuario Cleanwater Marine Aquarium,Winter,la delfin sin cola,Hope y Nicholas,delfines hallados de bebés,PJ y Hemingway que sufren de sordera) o nacierón en cautiverio(la mayoria de orcas en cautiverio,y por ende,no aprendierón tecnicas de supervivencia).Entiendo tu postura pero no todos los zoo son asi.

Así es estoi contigo

So true!

Who asked for your opinion?

Twizz Nasty the reason actually is the water is to worm

That is not a legitimate reason I've research daily on these animals and I've already said why it happens the dorsal fins collapses because of what I've said before and to correct you on what you said yes you are right to say that it happens when the water is warm but this the actual facts and truth so when these whales breach they are exposed to warm air but over time this exposure to warmer temperatures may cause the dorsal thin to flop like you said but the actual theory to this is that they don't have enough room to swim and they are on a u natural diet of dead fish and plus every male orca in captivity has one so that's why

Don't they explain why he has a collapsed dorsal fin during the introduction video? it has been a long time since have been but I thought they did

Could you use a comma next time?

Definitivamente tenéis un problema, y muy serio. Decís que los que estamos en contra del cautiverio nos informemos cuando vosotros sois los menos informados y los más hipócritas. Es cierto que estos animales una vez criados en cautiverio jamás podrán volver al mar, pero al igual que existen santuarios de animales en tierra, también los hay en las costas. En estos santuarios podrían terminar sus vidas en el mar, tranquilas, sin que nadie les moleste ni obligue a realizar espectáculos. Estas criaturas nacieron para ser libres y no nuestros bufones. Está muy claro que si realmente hubiera un mínimo interés por parte de estas empresas en preservar su especie, para empezar no estarían en una piscina. Estáis tan llenos de egoísmo que no podéis ver lo evidente. Leed un poco más acerca de la vida de las orcas en cautiverio.

Cornelia Grass this isn't Sea World. Also the main Arguments against this Parc are lies. The Orcas get their food every day. Broken teeths and scars are natural.

Not sure what your point is. Quite frankly I do not differentiate of theme parks, zoos whatever you call it. Holding wild animals in captivity and using/training them for entertainment is just purely wrong. Just think for a moment please: orca's usually travel 75 miles (120 kilometers) per day!!!!

In marine parks, the chances of a calf live over 3 years is over 80%, in the wild? 20%. Why don't you focus on the whale populations who are starving?

Haber si que es verdad que deberían de agrandar esos tanques. Pero estos delfines y orcas no pueden ser liberados ya que han nacido en cautiverio y no sabrían adaptarse a la vida salvaje. Ellas son como los niños si a un niño no le educas desde pequeño de mayor no esperes que el niño se comporte adecuadamente. Pues las orcas son igual si ellas desde pequeñas no han tenido una manada quién los enseñe a cazar o a defender por si solas de mayor no lo van a saber hacer. Ademas muchos cetáceos están apareciendo varados en las costas por la gran contaminación de los océanos. Aqui tienen muy buena salud y ademas conviven con otros de su especie no como en otros parques donde las orcas y delfines ni siquiera están con los de su especie. Pero los demas animales viven en entornos lo mas similar al de su hábitat como los tigres o leones que tienen ríos, arbustos, árboles de sus hábitat, cuevas... O los gorilas que tienen árboles grandes donde ellos pueden saltar o zonas rocosas... Y además todos los dias se les hace enriquecimientos ambientales que esto es que se les esconde la comida para que ellos mediante su olfato y sus sentidos la busquen. No te creas que la comida les llega en un plato. Ellos la tienen que buscar y asi están activos y entretenidos. Gracias a este zoo muchas aves y animales han conseguido salvarse de la extinción y eso hay que agradecerlo.
