Deadly flash floods hit the French Riviera this week (Oct. 2015) – and the casualties include numerous animals who were imprisoned at Marineland, Europe’s biggest marine park.
Rays, sharks, turtles and other fish have already died, and marine mammals such as orcas are in critical danger because their tanks are flooded with muddy water and the oxygenation and filtration systems have broken down.
This dire situation should never have occurred. Animals don’t belong in tiny concrete tanks, and if the orcas and other animals had been in their natural ocean homes they would have been able to swim out of the muddy water in which they’re currently trapped and to safety.
These social, emotional and intelligent animals who were forcibly bred for profit have been suffering since the day they were born and now their lives are in imminent danger as they try to survive in a pit of muddy water.
Marineland cannot in good conscience keep these animals enslaved in these perilous conditions – it must release them immediately.
Help empty the tanks! Please send a quick email to Marineland bosses and ask them to release the park’s surviving animals to suitable sanctuaries immediately. (And sign this petition.)
