All around the world marine animals are caught and sent to "Marine Amusement Parks" to satisfy the curiosity and to entertain masses of people. Most of these animals are Orcas and dolphins many of them captured from the wild. The enclosures for these animals who normally swim for many miles each day are always far too small for them.
This causes psychological and physical stresses and illnesses. Many times they will die due to these reasons. However sometimes they will strike out at their trainers and there have been cases lately where they have killed their owners most notably Sea World.

The video below shows the sad plight of Morgan a female Orca who is in a Dolphinarium in the Netherlands. She was wild caught in June of 2010 and put into a small concrete enclosure where she is still today. It is heartbreaking to see how she has given up and her spirit has been broken. As gawking children and adults stroll by her small tank, Morgan floats listlessly in the water. Morgan is just one of many beautiful marine animals that exist in these type of conditions. They belong in the wild to swim and live free with others of their own kind. To live such a confined and lonely life is almost a certain death sentence for them. Please take a moment to sign the petition to free Morgan and refuse to visit such places that use these marine animals as a means for entertainment.
