I agree. I don’t like Loro Parque. However, to anyone who may be interested, Ula is doing better now, but I wouldn’t say she’s completely healthy.
Rest In Peace Ula
She recently died. This breaks my heart. Empty the tanks! Google The Whale Sanctuary Project
Ah yes, perfectly healthy in her grave, or should I say, a random landfill.
@@thisisusRRR it’s so sad how she died 😭
😂😂 Oh my God, she is completely healthy. That's why she died. 🙈🙈
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, how does Seaworld not get this? They’re not meant to be kept in tiny little bathtubs, are they for real? They’ve caused multiple deaths of whales and trainers and I fully believe the whale wouldn’t have meant any harm, but as research shows - captivity sends them psychotic, which they’re to blame for. It’s too late to set them free now as they’ll never ever survive. The blood is well and truly on SeaWorlds hands, as all they are, are money thirty parasites. Sooner they close all SeaWorld establishments and let Whales, Dolphins swim free like they’re meant to do, the better. No more barbaric behaviour and horrible torture to these animals. I hope the employees at sea world are happy, and before anyone jumps in and says it’s a job, I’d rather be unemployed than have a job that endures suffering on animals. Barbaric, sick twisted bastards!!
So you're ok with wild animals suffering because of pollution? You truly are the barbaric one not these trainers that spend 24/7 365 days a year with these animals giving them all the care and love they deserve. None of these orcas were captured they were born at these parks so releasing them is a death sentence. I've watched more RECENT videos of Ula and her pectoral fin and head are normal looking. Also Loro Parque has nothing to do with SeaWorld so they can breed their whales whenever they want and it will help conserve them than seeing their wild counterparts go extinct which is happening to the Southern Resident orca pods. I'd rather be at Loro Parque or SeaWorld if I was an orca, I'd be getting the best veterinary care and fed throughout the day whether I perform or not. Also Mr. Ventre has not worked at SeaWorld for over 17 years. He worked with killer whales for only three out of the seven years that he worked there. Mr. Ventre was fired for sticking his head inside the mouth’s of one of the whales known to be aggressive..........that's someone you believe in uh? He didn't take safety protocols seriously, if only the orca had bit him then maybe he would take safety seriously. I seriously hope you don't have pets that do tricks because if you do then you're a hypocrite.
You mean Loro parque
@@savagesweetheart90 the mom was born in the wild and taken in under the assurance that she would be rehabilitated, released, and never be put on display. 2 months later theyre selling tickets to her shows and 10 years later she still hasnt been released.
@@Dani-gm4ui As Dragon Goddess said, these are not SeaWorld’s whales anymore. Loro Parque can do whatever they want with them. Re: Morgan is not a candidate for release. It was discovered through testing that Morgan is deaf and can’t use her echolocation to hunt for survival. It’s probably why she stranded in the first place. If they try to release her, she will strand again. Because of the controversy surrounding Morgan, it has been made policy to euthanize stranded whales.
@@aviatrix91 As questions continue to be raised whether SeaWorld’s transport of Morgan from the Netherlands to Spain could have resulted in her hearing loss
Morgan was a little too young to be having her first calf but as always these parks breed them like they are nothing but money-making property
Morgan was placed in spain but under certain conditions, she couldnt be involved in a breeding program (what they obviously still did) and she was supposed to have a better life there
And even then, they shouldn't let an animal that they considered her as "deaf" have a calf anyway, considering that she wouldn't be able to hear and communicate with her calf.
@@anne6811 Yes SW broke another contract. And that nobody can sue them they gave the ownership of Morgan away which they were not allowed. To have in the first place. What a lovely and honest and caring company.
@@aquaislander94 👍💜
@@aquaislander94 Deaf people have children all the time. Orcas have many ways of communicating with one another. One of those is love.
Those parcs are a disgrace! I can''t believe people take their children to these animal prisons.
Thanks Dr. Ventre! This is so freaking upsetting! 😡😪
Wait? Isn’t she (Morgan) super young still? She’s way too young to have babies.
Fukai Kokoro Wild orcas/captive orcas start giving birth around the age of 10 or 11. Morgan is beloved to be 12 but 11 at the time of Ula's birth.
@@kristinedreyer6032 From everything I’ve read, Morgan did not become pregnant through forced AI (artificial insemination). They were just two whales who happened to get it on! 😂 Don’t deprive them of whale sex or you’ll see really mad orcas... you don’t want that now do you?? 🤣 At the moment, I believe that either Adán or Keto is Ula’s dad.
@@aviatrix91 🤭Thank you!🐳
@@kristinedreyer6032 actually wild Orcas give birth around 15 or older but in captivity the Orcas are impregnated and give birth at the age of 8 years which is still to young for an orca
@@aviatrix91 Whale sex is consensual,if the female is not interested,she'll simply swim away but morgan had no place to go & would actually beech herself on the slide out to escape Keto's aggressive advances.This animal was being bullied & sexually harrassed,she was underage,deaf & covered in rake marks.When you're not into it but can't get away it's rape & loro parque let it happen.
heart breaking.
This is outrageous, how do the Dr's, trainers, biologists. Not one of these people can't stand up and say that this is not ethical. SMH. Poor Morgan and calf!
because they're more educated than the idiotic animal activists who act like this only happens in captivity. Also my replies are turned off. I have studied orcas for over 20 years and finally am in college to follow my dream of studying them professionally as a marine biologist. I don't need blackfish sheep pretending they know more than me bothering me so if you @ me good luck having me see it. I won't. Also I want everyone to think about the WILD orcas lost. One that was Corky's sibling died before 3, one named sharky died at 26, A40 and A44 at 2. A41 was literally a newborn, Sutlej at 18, A47 a newborn, A49 at one year, Nodales at 14, Scylla at 7, Kelkpa at 5, Surf at 3, Racey at 14, A63 (Corky's niece) not even a year old, same with A65 whose mother died the same year at 13. A68 newborn, Stormy at 6, A76 and A87 newborns, Canoona and Sunday at 2, Kalct at 4, A98 at 1. G9 at 24, G19 at 29, Owikeno at 27, G28 at 20, G33 at 21, G35 at 18, G36 newborn, G42 and G55 at 1, G43 and G56 at 3, G44 at 14, Whidbey at 21, G47 at 13, Seabreeze at 8, G68 and G75 at 2, G74 and G87 at 1. G90 and G91 at 1, H7 at 26, H8 at 21, H10 at 9, the list goes on but I don't feel like typing it out. These are WILD orcas who are now dead. Don't be fooled by activist and their lies.
@@airaysickle It happens far less in the wild.
Most os those idiot activist actually follow marine biologist and scientists that have actual studies and many years of written findings and how these beings live, their culture!! It's just not morely right, it doesn't take a scientist to see that.
Airay remove head from ass before commenting
Airay Continuing along on the stats you’ve given, the miscarriage/stillbirth rate is 60-70% in the WILD! These orcas are starving to death, because their preferred food, chinook salmon, is in very short supply. Moms aren’t getting enough salmon for just themselves, never mind sustaining a healthy pregnancy.
Poor Morgan. It makes me sick what they’ve done to her
Melissa Bee Whatever happened to your eyebrows? Poor thing.
@@tessdurberville711 You are a nasty, evil, arrogant little Barbie with no brain. Stop abusing people. Who abuses people does the same with animals. That's why you are defending SW with absolute no knowledge about orca pods in the wild. You poor thing.
Wow, I was looking for pictures for making a video about her death and I noticed something about her melon shape
This is so WRONG, poor Morgan, poor calf :(((( Captivity KILLS!
A40 and A44 at 2. A41 was literally a newborn, Sutlej at 18, A47 a newborn, A49 at one year, Nodales at 14, Scylla at 7, Kelkpa at 5, Surf at 3, Racey at 14, A63 (Corky's niece) not even a year old, same with A65 whose mother died the same year at 13.

G90 and G91 at 1, H7 at 26, H8 at 21, H10 at 9 these are all DEAD WILD orcas. Captivity doesn't kill, being uneducated and trying to free these orcas will.
But your pet can still live to a ripe old age in your home, IRONIC
@@airaysickle Why are you trying to compare the lifespans of wild to captive orcas in this manner? The average lifespan for captive killer whales is mid 20s. Yes they can life longer, but that depends on the individual animal. It doesnt have much to do with quantity of life, but rather quality. In captivity there are many many stresses that contribute to their lifespans being greatly reduced. That and a captive killer whale simply has no quality to their lives....there is nothing stimulating for them to do in a barren tank. Seems like you need to actually read more on the issue with keeping them in confinement to fully understand how it affects them. Captivity is a death sentence for these beings.
@@CleverClover2023 Corky from SeaWorld San Diego is 54 years old and Ulises from the same park is in his mid to late 40s. Also there have been studies from marine biologists that show that dolphins are healthier than their wild counterparts.
@@airaysickle Absolutely! In a wild Orca’s first year the mortality rate is 60%. Thank you for posting that! Can I borrow that, full credit to you of course.
so sad and still Loro Pargue posts stories their doing ok, what liers
This is horrifying
Oh My F** God! How can I help? This must be stopped!
It almost looks like she has no Melon
We all knew this calf either wasn't going to make it or was going to have serious issues. Loro Parque doesn't exactly have the best track record with calves. These parks call us uninformed, arm chair activists yet we were all able to so clearly see this was a bad idea, but their "world class" scientists and vets couldn't figure that out?
I have a theory that their vet and everything who say their doing "Fine" and are "well" is just saying that because their profiting off it
@@hollohuman1256 Of.course!!! SW never lets independent vet's go into the park. They even are kicking Dr Visser and Dr Rose out. They have their paid vet's who say what SW wants. There NEVER was an independent vet there. What do they have to hide??
@@horse-lover68 exactly, they refuse to let in veterinarians yet say they have nothing to hide like wtf. If you really don't then why aren't they allowed in your park?
@@hollohuman1256 Thank you. Yes this company is making me crazy. I cannot beloeve that anyone is still stock holder. So many evil things came out and now they are desperately trying to renew their "name" without changing anything. This company needs a new leadership. Someone with a heart.
@@horse-lover68 I agree, and I think what making that so hard to move them to a better facility (sea pen) are uneducated people who aren't understanding how it works. We cant throw a captive animal into the wild yet people keep saying 'free them'. In my opinion if there is ever a sea pen capable for housing orcas, lolita and kiska should be the first moved into it.
This is pure cruelty😢
Sickening....
It looks my comment disapeared, but I have a theory. It turns out Ula was bottle fed because Morgan was unable to produce near enough Milk for her calf. Morgan could only produce about half a liter when she should have been producing about 6 liters a day. I am beggining to think that Morgan was unable to produce enough milk due to various stressors in her life, depression, other factors. Another issue was when Adan was born, his mother was unable to feed him properly. I'm sure there is other cases of this in captivity, I just find it very odd these things have happened in the same place... However, I find it intriguing that the father of Ula is Keto and NOT Adan. It's more prominent and Adan is much bigger now but his head is shaped almost exactly like Ulas! I am wondering if his is a deformity and was passed down to her and he is the father, or something else. It is very suspicious to me.
Yes, Morgan's inability to feed her calf was most likely due to nutritional stress. But Ula was Keto's daughter, as proved by genetic testing. Your theory makes sense though.
@@morganistrue And because she was to young
while i think insinuation "Ula having her head underwater while upside down is bad" is clutching at some straws, the situation itself is very concerning.
I do agree! Ulla's pectoral flipper looks like it's chewed up pretty bad... :(
There is no clutching at straws
They should never have allowed morgan to get pregnant in the first place,it wasn't just irresponsible,it was cruel
Perhaps it was love?
From what I’ve gathered it wasn’t at all. They believe that either Aden or Keto is the father of the calf, but more believe that it’s Keto. Leto and Morgan aren’t even the same sub species of orca, and Keto is the main orca that rakes and beats on Morgan. Also, Morgan was 11 when she had the calf, making her 4 years younger then some of the youngest orcas that have ever had calves in the wild. I wouldn’t call that love and maybe it wasn’t “forced” but it’s not natural that’s for sure.
@@gracegabert495 She used to beech herself all the time to escape the harassment & bullying.They basically allowed a minor to be raped & impregnated just to add new blood to the gene pool.Anyone visiting marine parks should be ashamed of themselves.
Keto I believe was the father? It takes two to tango. If Morgan fell in love with one of the Mails at the park, let it be
@@tessdurberville711 🙈🙈🙈 Shut up Barbie
Stop going to these stupid parks, spend money seeing them in the wild!! If ppl don't go these places won't exist!!
I don’t know what’s wrong with people here, but Ula was having problems nursing off of her own mother. For safety precautions Morgan could get aggressive when they’re bottlefeeding ula … She died a few days ago rest in peace
Die einzige Person mit der ganz eindeutig etwas falsch läuft bist Du selbst....
This is normal animal behavier Discusting
And you were wrong - again! Oh my, I found a pimple on my nose this morning. It must be the bubonic plague!
One can only hope right! Does that little baby seriously look healthy to you? My god, you must be a fucking idiot to not see a sick baby orca. Didnt this hell hole finally admit to the calf being sick after this video was posted online?
Oof, when you have a baby and it comes out with a deteriorating arm and deformed head and the doctors say “yup, looks fine to me.” And you’re like “I don’t think so.” think back to this shit.
OK.. This was funny. You made me *snork* Diet Pepsi up and out my nose. You owe me a new keyboard!😂 And in recent months Ula is just fine.
SHE’S DEAD. Empty the tanks! Google The Whale Sanctuary Project
NO TANKS!!!! Morgan needs the ocean!! Send her home you irresponsible monsters!!
Bloody Murderers
FREE ORCAS!!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡💙🐳💙..VERGOGNA!!!!!!
:(
The calf is well
SHE’S DEAD. Empty the tanks! Google The Whale Sanctuary Project
Disgusting, poor animals👎🏻
Why cant people understand that they HAVE to keep Morgan out of the pool just in case she gets overprotective of Ula and goes for the trainers, man do your research “so called orca experts”
If your child was with you would you be happier still protective but what if your child was taken from you without your consent. It wouldn't end well as I would be rather aggressive towards anyone. This can also cause long-term aggression to the trainers as the oned keeping the baby from her mother. Killer Whales aren't dumb they know when something is wrong. Se would be much better with than without her calf.
