I believe it is "Africa She Bleeds", my biz partner wrote the lyrics. This showed aired on National Cable and we had to use a song that we had the rights to broadcast. Thanx for asking!

[PlanetOnePosse]

I agree. They should have kept him at the Rehab Center and never moved him to Iceland. This piece is from a long time ago. Keiko was like a puppy and loved human contact. The Oregon Coast Aquarium was the best place for him. He may still be around, if he'd been there.

My favorite orca ever, Shouka too. Did you know him and Shouka are related?

[PlanetOnePosse]

@framptone25 did not know that. where is Shouka? Thanx for looking at our videos!

[Lauravhill]

"the oregon aquarium home is nearly four times the size of his old home" - well the last time i looked the sea was a little more than four!

Shouka is Keiko's little sister who is eighteen year's old Keiko and Shouka's Father and Mother both passed away in Marine Park's believe it or not. Free Shouka get her away from Six Flag's Discovery Kingdom take her to where her big brother used to live at the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport Oregon.

@17110482 He was never just dumped a left, in all he only spent about 3 weeks on this own during his travel from Iceland to Norway which he did on this own terms, once there his care team went over to look after him. He had care,food and human companionship until the day he died, seriously where do you get this stuff from ????

[Paulblackberry]

he died because of u.if u seen the film u would let him go u are evil killing a creature like that FREE WILLY

[Xx2Tatar1xX]

these videos get me dont get me wrong loved all his videos but those people who captured him really p.i.s.s me off i just wish i could capture them and put them in a tank for 11 years of their life and just dump them back in the open to me they should have put him back to the wild in the first place wait lemme refrease that they should have let him go from the gecko with his family ! honestly those people are bunch of killers the way i look at it .. Rip Keiko/Free Willy

@PlanetOnePosse I don't agree ,they did it in a very educated process they did it slowly and the whale deserved that chance. Sometimes it doesn't go the way you would hope but because people feel this one shouldn't have been released is the same reason Lolita is still locked up. Give them all a chance that is their right and the human obligation to correct mistakes which are these theme parks/water circuses.
