As animal activist, it hurts my heart how human race treat animal and she was in captivity all her life and all alone in a tank with no one, she gave birth 7 babies they all die mysteriously no animal should be in captivity.

Kiska, the last captive killer whale in Canada, died late on Friday in a theme park called MarineLand, the Ontario. MarineLand is a theme park in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Kiska was captured in Icelandic waters in 1979, and she died when she was 47 years old. MarineLand said that Kiska’s health had declined in recent weeks.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) described Kiska as the “world’s loneliest orca,” and the mother had to go through the death of all five of her calves who died before they were seven years old. Kiska was one of the last survivors of the Icelandic captures back in the 1970s. She was about 47 years old – and she lived the last 11 years of her life completely alone; no other orcas or in fact any other species were there to keep her company,” said Dr. Naomi Rose, marine mammal scientist for the Animal Welfare Institute. “She survived all of her offspring. Her life was sad. Her death was sad. She embodied all that is wrong with keeping these intelligent and social beings in a concrete box.”Kiska was held in solitary confinement since 2011, which earned her the nickname of the ‘world’s loneliest orca.’ Videos in recent years have surfaced of Kiska floating in her tank and repeatedly bumping her head against the tank wall. May she R.I.P

Incredibly sad story and animal parks, circuses, any type of animal captivity involuntarily is GROSS and needs to stop. 3 likesReply
