i know there doing evey thing they can. im sure she has improved, but it kills me to see her lying on her side. poor baby....... i hope she can get better and go back in the wild!

Do you really think she could be back in the ocean? I think she would surely die, she wouldn't be able to survive on her own, the only contact she has had is with humans and dolphins in the tank. It is sad, but I guess she should be kept in captivity.

OH YA. FIRST OFF LEARN UR FREAKING FACTS!. She was washed up on a beach, sure just leave her in the wild where she was originally. TO DIE

She would've died in the wild, that's the only reason why they kept her. Judging by the video, and others I saw, she can't even equalize herself to swim correctly. Also, she was taken in as a very very young calf, and near death. If they were to try and introduce her, she would have died all the same, one from her handicaps, and also from her lack of knowing how to socialize with other orcas. I am too against captivation of whales, but this was the only way to try and save her.

There are alot of comments here saying, "THEY SHOULD'VE SET HER FREE!" But either way, she was doomed to die at a young age. If you watch other videos, she can't stay upright for very long, so that means she either had a brain problem, or couldn't equalize properly. The fact that she was so weak and needed almost constant supervision means that she had to have a smaller tank in order to try and rehabilitate her if they could. I am against captivity of whales. This way she ended up living longer

how sad, she looks sick. sad story all the way around.

[copperchan]

do they now what happened? Thats so sad :( I was really looking forward to one day seeing her as an adult swimming with peaple. Thanks for the great video love enya :D

If she had survived they could have retrained her. Just like they did to Keiko. He proved that it's not impossible to release orca's back into the wild. It's just a shitty excuse that Marine parks make up to keep those animals in their tanks as money makers. But I guess it's useless now. R.I.P. girl..

if she can't be returned to the wild they should put her in a really big sea pen it's not fair to keep her in a tank for the rest of her life.
