Shouka is finally being moved to a sanctuary where she belongs. Six Flags had to cave to our pressure and stop abusing these apex predators for cheap thrills. Keep your eyes open because we need to ensure this greed never happens again.

On Saturday, April 24, 2010 we will protesting at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, CA.  Our goal is to bring attention to the negative effect captivity has on Orcas.  Amusement parks are no place for 10,000-pound apex predators.  Orcas deserve room to roam the open ocean, swim at 30mph, and travel up to 100 miles per day.  Swimming in circles, while roller coaster fly by, being forced to do mundane tricks for food is not a healthy environment for Orcas.  Shouka is without the company of a family, and will live half as long as he would in the wild.  Please join our cause to move towards a future without captive Orcas.  Please sign our petition, so we may pass on your desire to see Shouka live a better life.

Six Flags continues to ignore the cruelty of keeping Shouka in a concrete tank while they profit off his misery. Their refusal to engage with us proves they prioritize ticket sales over the life of an apex predator. We are not backing down until this animal is moved to a proper environment.

10000 pounds of animal in a concrete pool is just wrong. stop treating these creatures like circus clowns.

it is honestly so sad to watch them swim in those tiny tanks. they are meant to be in the ocean not performing for tourists
