That is sad news for generations of kids. Though I support the phasing out of these beings in captivity. 

Canada recently passed a law that mandates the phasing out of this as well. I will have to look into the details but I think it started with breeding in captivity. 

Funny thing is that I have apparently bred a couple of activists as my little ones sing along with the marine land commercial https://youtu.be/OP-WVMCTR_U and change the world to “everyone hates marine land”. You have to be pretty serious about these animals to hate on a park full of roller coasters as a kid!

Great article and we can hope the brighter spotlight on this will mean better treatment for those still in captivity.

Damn..these are really sad news! :( 
Too bad many more cases like this one will appear if people don't wake up before they destroy the world with so many pollutions and land clearing..

At a certain point we have to ask ourselves if it's for the best to die instead of having to endure terrible living conditions for longer. It's sad that she died, but at least she won't have to spend another 60 years stuck in a small tank that's absolutely unfit for keeping orcas.
