The Orca whales cries have been heard miles away for months!! They are being restrained at the VDNKh exhibition center in northern Moscow.Russian police have refused to open a case into the unhealthy conditions and abuse these whales are undergoing. They're caged in horrendous conditions in a cement prison seperating them from each other. Animal activists are saying keeping them in cramped tanks like these could leave the mammals deaf and insane.
Last month, Moscow Deputy Mayor Marat Khusnullin was cited by Interfax as saying that the orcas, which are due to become the stars of the new VDNKh oceanarium, were being kept in the Far East pending the opening of the new facility.
But city police have confirmed the animals are being held in temporary facilities at the exhibition center, according to a copy of a police statement published by hardline animal rights group Vita.
A 7-year-old, 2.5-ton female whale named Narnia and an unnamed 5-year-old, 1.5-ton male were flown to Moscow last December, two provincial media outlets said at the time. Police said the whales — the first orcas in captivity in Russia — were stolen from their home by poachers between mid-2012 and mid-2013 in the Sea of Okhotsk in Russia's Far East. But city police have confirmed the animals are being held in temporary facilities at the exhibition center, according to a copy of a police statement published by hardline animal rights group Vita. The Orca Whale Is One Of The Most Endangered Species In The World!! WE MUST PROTECT THEM!!
