After a long battle the first eight cetaceans have been released, but nearly a hundred others still live in precarious conditions in the whale prison.
Finally eight cetaceans freed from the concentration camp
They have been finally released the first killer whales and whales held captive in a Russian concentration camp, near the city of Nakhodka, in the Sea of Japan. The cetaceans had been illegally captured and forced to live in dire conditions waiting to be sold to theme water parks.
La discovery of whale prisons had taken place months ago thanks to the shooting of a drone and raised protests and appeals demanding its closure: about one hundred examples of killer whales and beluga whales they were forced to live in overcrowded cages and in terrible conditions.
The images of the whale camp have stirred consciences and led to a social mobilization which was also attended by international stars, including Leonardo Di Caprio and Pamela Anderson. The numerous protests and petitions they had then led Russia to sign a liberation agreement, but the prison owner had categorically refused to close his business and free the whales, rebelling against the orders of the authorities.
The dispute with the prison owner was resolved during the annual television marathon in which the president Putin it answers citizens' questions and solves problems that are posed to it.
The first eight specimens, two orcas and six beluga whales, were loaded onto trucks and released into the sea, where they were caught a year ago. Hopefully the other animals still kept in the cages are released as soon as possible.
