The video of Junior has been deleted :(

@TJMNabk - I know, I realised a while ago... It's available in the documentary "A Fall from Freedom".

I have been fighting Marineland Canada for 5 years now, mainly because of junior. I am going to shut it down, or die trying.

[FreedomForOrcas]

@iantaylor124 - Awesome, all the best with that! Hopefully one day we can see it closed for good :)

out of curiousity, how do you feel about marineland antibes? You know that i am a pro-cp but there are some facilities that i do not have much information on. Seaworld parks i have spent time researching and i despise miami seaquarium for keeping lolita alone in a tank that is about according to cetcean cousins 5-10% the size of seaworld tanks. I would be interested to hear your opinions on the japanese parks that hold orcas as well as six flags and mundo marino park.

@Believe13at - I dislike Six Flags because they drill Shouka's teeth. I also oppose Mundo Marino because Kshamenk is alone and his tank is pitifully small.

Kamogawa Sea World is okay because they treated their orcas respectfully - they weren't bred too early, they spaced the births, the whole pod stayed together (up until recently). However the tank is too small for my liking.

Marineland Antibes... I don't know /much/ about them, but as of yet I have no qualms with their facility.

@TheCanadianPatriot1 Thank you for the good advice and for being respectful in your reply.

@iantaylor124 That is something I can not do as it is I don't fully support the cause nor do I have the time even if I did.

However I will say this, the best way to get support (in my opinion) is through social media. Make a facebook page about, a twitter account for it. Hopefully this will get you the support needed. I wish you the best of luck, but I for one will not help any further than this.

[iantaylor124]

@TheCanadianPatriot1 Perhaps my previous comment was a bit to ambitious. Your right. I can't do it alone. Will you help me, along with those in Ontario who want it shut down?

[TheCanadianPatriot1]

@iantaylor124 Looks like you will die trying. Don't be thinking your just taking on the park, at the very least your taking on the provincial government of Ontario, at the most your taking on the federal government. Marineland is a major tourist location.

I'm not saying it's impossible but you would need well over a million people supporting you, and not from anywhere in the world, from the province itself. Even then you can't guarantee anything.

[iantaylor124]

@FreedomforOrcas you will. Trust me.

I hate Marineland Canada I wish it would shut down.
