Word has it that SeaWorld has its eyes on acquiring a young orca named Morgan, who became stranded in Dutch waters and is currently being tended to at the Dolfinarium in Harderwijk, Netherlands.

Considering how many orcas are living and dying in misery at SeaWorld, we've asked the Dolfinarium's director not to cave in to SeaWorld if it pressures him to relinquish custody of Morgan into its "care."

Please urge the Dolfinarium to release Morgan back into her rightful ocean home as soon as she has recovered.

Can you please explain why orca exhibit apparently cruel and sadistic behavior? I have seen video of them attacking other animals for purposes other than preditory or territorial. Mortally wounding and playing with animals that they have no intention of eating or playing with and tormenting their prey before killing it. I only ask because PETA are familiar with animals and I want to understand this behavior before judging or condemning them,

Orcas do not belong in captivity. Morgan deserves a chance to live her life in the wild where she belongs. We are not going to accept the excuse that she is better off being "taken care of" in a small cement cell. Put her back where she belongs--not in the hands of an organization like SeaWorld.

Stop abusing animals!

Orcas belong to the Oceans!

Captivity kills them! It is simple... THEY WANT TO LIVE... They don't want people kill them!
