It is good to come across a piece of good news. The Province of Ontario(where I live) is passing legislation that bans the breeding or acquisition of Orcas. The legislation also sets better standards for the care of captive marine mammals.

It may take a while to end captive marine animal shows, but this is a big step in that direction. There will be some good fines for non compliance and failure to meet standards. It is a recognition that such shows are not acceptable and that we cannot house things like killer whales in small pools.
Some day the only marine mammals not swimming free will be rescues that we are trying to rehabilitate in hopes of returning them to the wild.
