We are saddened to learn of the death of Kamea, another orca who spent her entire life in captivity. Born in 2013 at SeaWorld San Antonio, Kamea was just 11 years old — not even fully grown, and was the youngest orca at this facility.
Born into a life of confinement and deprivation, Kamea never knew the ocean or the freedom that wild orcas experience. Instead, she was confined to a shallow concrete tank, performing for crowds and enduring the suffering and distress captivity inflicts on intelligent beings.
SeaWorld San Antonio still has 4 orcas – the last generation to live at this marine park, as they announced the end of their breeding program in 2016. Urge them to send these remaining orcas to a seaside sanctuary. It’s too late for Kamea, but not for the others. Tag SeaWorld in the comments or reach out to them directly. Links in the comments.
