Aix-en-Provence’s appeals court has mandated that Marineland in Antibes must keep its two remaining orcas, Wikie and Keijo, until an expert evaluation of their living conditions is completed. The ruling has been welcomed by animal rights organization One Voice, which fears the orcas could be relocated to a less adequate facility in Japan. Discussions about future options, including a potential sanctuary in Nova Scotia, Canada, continue, as environmental concerns arise over proposed transfers to a dolphinarium in the Canary Islands.
