The world is a dark place for captive whales and dolphins --
stolen from the oceans or born in a tank: depression marks their
lives as they swim endless circles in tiny tanks, often all alone.
They are denied to live long and emotionally complex lives with
their pod family and friends and die prematurely after a time of
suffering and pain.
We have a chance to save whales from captivity and breeding
for good in the US ! Lawmakers are proposing a new law: The
Strengthening Welfare in Marine Settings (SWIMS) Act -- to keep
these gentle giants out of water parks and aquariums captivity
and save them from lifelong misery.
As a global community of millions, we can make sure that the
SWIMS Act passes and inspires governments everywhere to do the
same, paving the way for a world-wide ban on whale captivity.
Will you join us in protecting whales from captivity ?
Tell Members of the US Congress: Support the SWIMS Act --
ban whale capture and breeding!
As of March 2024 there are at least 55 orcas held in captivity in
marine parks around the world. All these animals experience
extreme stress their entire lives, leading to poor health and shorter
life spans. 100% of all captive male orcas suffer from dorsal fin
collapse, as they spend their time swimming in circles.
Swimming pool-sized water tanks are not the right home for
these giant, highly intelligent, social, empathetic animals. They
belong in the endless spaces of the oceans and seas of our planet.
This is our chance to protect marine mammals like orcas and
whales from future torture. We have already succeeded in our
biggest petition ever, with 1.7 million signers, moving SeaWorld to
end its Orca Captivity program. Today, we can help introduce
strong laws that protect all whales and orcas in the US. Are you
in ?
Members of the US Congress: Support the SWIMS Act -- ban
whale capture and breeding!
