THE END OF WHALE JAIL

 
 
 

CHINA FUELS MURKY CETACEAN TRADE IN RUSSIA

15 ORCAS AND MORE THAN 200 BELUGAS WERE SOLD TO AQUARIUMS IN CHINA IN THE LAST 5 YEARS.

BOTH BELUGAS AND ORCAS ARE HIGHLY SOCIABLE ANIMALS

It is deeply traumatic for them to be separated from their families.


RUSSIA IS THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD THAT STILL CAPTURES ORCAS AND BELUGAS FOR AQUARIUMS

THE EXACT PRICE TAG IS UNKNOWN,
BUT QUOTES RANGE FROM 1 MILLION DOLLARS FOR BELUGA WHALE
AND FROM 6 TO 10 MILLION DOLLARS FOR ORCA

GLOBAL OUTCRY SAVED 10 ORCAS AND 87 BELUGAS FROM CAPTIVE FATE

ALL ANIMALS WERE RELEASED BACK INTO THE WILD

NOW WE ARE WORKING
TO STOP THE CAPTURES OF MARINE MAMMALS IN RUSSIA
AND PREVENT NEW WHALE JAILS

 

WHO ARE WE?

This campaign is a result of collaborative effort of several organizations in Russia

With help and major participation of Environmental Inspector Sophia Belyaeva

WE JOINED FORCES TO FREE THE WHALES
