Free Morgan PSA!

Animal activists and ocean advocates stand together in this PSA to help free Morgan, a young female orca being held in captivity by the Dolfinarium Harderwijk.
Please help Morgan by going to www.FreeMorgan.org and take the "Steps to Freedom" ... Not only will you be making a difference in Morgan's life, but in future generations of humans & cetaceans' well-being.
"Steps to Freedom"
1. Write letters to the Ministry of Netherlands
2. Join the "Cause" on Facebook
3. Donate $ towards her release- "$1 equals 1 fish for Morgan!"
With tears in my eyes, I say this today, November 22nd, 2011...
Despite overwhelming evidence provided by world renowned orca researchers, scientists and advocates, Morgan has been designated that she will be sent to a life of permanent captivity in a barren concrete tank @ Loro Parque. Realistically this is nothing short of a death sentence for Morgan as orca in captivity only live an average of 8.5 years, compared to more than 50 years in the wild.

Keiko didn't last very long after being "freed" did he?

[dovejoans]

@armandm85 Well, Keiko's, aka "Free Willy's "release" was a success - He lived for 4 yrs in the wild, compared to almost 20 yrs in captivity... I'm sure his lifespan was shorten from the many years of confinement. Morgan was and still is very young, making her an excellent candidate in being "RELEASED BACK TO THE WILD", as well as the fact that the researchers found a 89% match w' her family pod off Norway. Thanks again for caring about this important issue

[dovejoans]

Yes Matthew... it's time Morgan's put back into the wild, so she can actually have a life

Being in prison is not a life, no matter how much some people candy-coat the illusion that dolphins & whales love doing tricks for humans, going around in circles 24/7. The only signs that have been shown of how cetaceans have truly "felt" in captivity is sadly from the intentionally deaths of humans. I hope many more people will speak up to the Netherland goverment, so Morgan will be set free!

[dovejoans]

Thank-you "agnernai"! The more people that pass this PSA along and "share it", the better chance Morgan will have in seeing her family again, and live the "orca life" she was meant to live! In peace & gratitude!

Great video. It's a disgrace how marine parks continue to treat these animals. They are disgusting and all parks should be shut down.

FREEEEEEEEDOOOOM!!

[Durendal33]

I'm sympathetic to groups and scientists that try and look for ways to release these creatures back into the wild where they belong but this vid does make me question if you really have a good case playing on emotions and especially suggesting the small enclosure was the Dolphinariums idea and wasn't caused by the free Morgan group filing a lawsuit preventing her from being moved for a year in the first place.Idealism and emotion shouldn't obscure what is best for this animal.

Great video, I have shared in on FB, and I hope many people will... Orca captivity is nothing more but making money out of the most intelligent and beautifull creatures of the 'ocean'

[mizsmooey]

great job to all helping, i am so glad that they were unable to transfer her to loro park, but now thanks to you guys she still has a chance!

[Matthew1027]

I do believe she should've been free already.. Been there long enough

[Matthew1027]

As much as I love animals, some are better off in captivity.. They are there for a reason.. I wanna see Morgan free and roaming the ocean with her family.. But why was she put there in the first place? Was she injured? Was she sick? Is it for study? I really hate seeing animals taken from their homes.. But I'm unaware of all the facts as well as all of you.. Unless you're there.. She does need a much bigger tank.. That one is way too small and is cruel to keep her in such a tank.. I pray that s
