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.
