Juvenile Transient Orca Rescue

26/7/2015

0 Comments

 
Via Whale Point:

"Today was one of very high emotions. It started with a call from Eric on the Bangarang that he just spotted a beached orca. The Guardians from Hartley Bay were soon on their was, as were we at Whale Point, with WWF also on board. Eric put together a McGaver type water pump, we grabbed as many sheets as we could, and Hermann, Bunker and Nicole, Eric and myself went to shore and approached the whale as quietly as possible. It was a team effort, and fortunately on some level this transient orca understood that we were trying to help. She cried often, which tore at our hearts, but as the tide came up there were many cheers as this whale was finally free after 6+ hours of being stuck on this rock. The story of how she got there is amazing, we will write up a proper blog and already on getting a video organized. A giant thank you once again to this amazing community that comes together so quickly to protect what is sacred."

Ric O'Barry Recounts His Time Working With Captive Orca Hugo

13/7/2015

1 Comment

 
Ric O'Barry recounts his time working with orca at the Miami Seaquarium: "Hugo and I were both quite young in 1969 when this photo was taken. He was the very first killer whale in captivity in the eastern United States. We both worked for Miami Seaquarium. I was his trainer. I survived that experience, Hugo did not. I have returned to the Seaquarium every Sunday whenever I'm in Miami to protest and bring attention to Lolita and Hugo. Lolita does not have to die in that tiny substandard tank like Hugo did. She can be returned to her home range to retire in peace and comfort. If only the greedy bastards who exploit her had a heart."
