U.S (EKO) : Ban whale capture and breeding in the US !

 



A new law could end whale and orca captivity for good.

Together we can ensure this law gets passed without any last minute U-turns.

Sign now : Ban whale capture and breeding in the US !

 SIGN THE PETITION 








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!

 SIGN THE PETITION 

Thanks for all that you do,



Ildem and the team at Ekō .
