Victory for animal advocates - California prohibits show with killer whales

Today the Committee for the protection of wildlife and marine animals, the United States will stop demonstrating circus show with the participation of whales in Sacramento. In the future held by this organization, the bill should result in the refusal of all the parks on the coast of the US show with the whales and return animals into the wild in cases where this is possible, reports the Los Angeles Times.If whales are not prepared for life in captivity, they still need to dismiss the artistic slavery and settled in special pools.





Now only at SeaWorld in San Diego has 10 orcas, four of whom were caught in the ocean, and the rest were born in captivity. The new law will also prohibit the breeding of whales in zoos for sale in this show. The document was signed by the local senators after the release of the documentary "Black fish", detailing all the inappropriate content of killer whales in marine parks.





In 2010, mad with anguish, the whale had even shot a show in Florida. A petition in defense of the bill was signed by 1.2 million people from around the world. However, the owners of SeaWorld did not immediately agree with the change, because due to the cancellation of the popular show, they will lose most of the earnings. This is the only Park in California where orcas are kept, it is visited annually by over 4 million people. At the moment the bill check on this Park in the future it will spread all over California to save the lives of animals and Park staff.
