From Congressman Jared Huffman: "Today I took the first Congressional action to protect captive orcas since the documentary Blackfish was released. 

It’s unacceptable that our regulations protecting captive orcas and marine mammals have not been updated in nearly 20 years. It is past time for USDA to act, and I was glad to be joined by Congressman Adam Schiff and 38 other members in this bipartisan push to protect these majestic creatures.

From orca expert Dr. Ingrid Visser: Sir Richard Branson has called a meeting about using captive cetaceans for tourism. One topic he wants his team to discuss is captive breeding. Please put your name on this petition if you do not support breeding orca in captivity (which I clearly don't!). thanks for your support - the orca need a voice - and that voice is yours!
