An Update On Russian Orca Captured: 2 in Moscow, 2 in China

17/1/2014

0 Comments

 
An update from Russian Orcas: they can confirm two of the wild orca captured are in Moscow and two have been flown to China. Read on for more information: 

Thank you for your concerns about orcas going to be put on display during the Olimpic games in Sochi. Though it was featured in CBC news and other media sources, we have no reliable confirmation of this information. We know that two orcas are in Moscow and two others were exported to China, that's all we can say for sure by now.
