That's amazing! Though I really hope the momentum keeps going, and we end marine mammal captivity completely.

And to clarify, I'm not suggesting releasing current institutionalized orcas to the wild, just that we let the captive ones live out the rest of their lives and not breed any new ones.

the shows will be now educational demonstrations, still a show, just without all the showy theatrical stuff and more education.Just like the shamu adventure of yesteryear.

Echoing malinghi .

Wonderful that this has finally happened although it has taken far too long! Having an educational 'show' still sounds like a bit of a loophole for giving 'demonstrations', and I sincerely hope they stick to the educational aspects don't make the orcas perform.

Thinking about going before it closes. See whales one last time.

FINALLY! Praise the Lord, I'm so thankful they came to their senses (after much pressure from social media, of course)! <3

Someone posted about this one facebook awhile ago and posted this picture along with it. It's fake but I thought it was funny. Apparently it comes from some fake news article about something else. But still. I chuckled at the absurdity.
