Hi My Friends, Again, there is a sad news. **Kiska**, ***the world's loneliest Orca***, died March 9 at the **47** year old. Actually, I was feeling sad when she lives in captive. On Steemit, dolphins, orcas, whales are concepts we own. Being an orca makes us very happy here, but what is it like to be a real Dolphin or an Orca? She was Canada's last captive orca. For the ***last 12 years*** of her life, she sometimes swam ***alone*** in endless circles, sometimes floating listlessly **in a small tank**. In their wild, orcas can live between **50 and 90 years**. When thinking about it, her life is shortened when she lived in isolation. ![kiska.webp](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmV8BBupzppSpVfSz4dQDpBcPTvL6w7yRrx3RYcZuFSMFk/kiska.webp) [](https://www.blogto.com/city/2023/03/lonely-orca-kiska-buried-marineland-animal-boneyard/) She had **tried to commit suicide** by slamming her body against the glass of the pool before, and I can't get over that image :( Orcas live in groups and are highly **social animals**. Therefore, the living conditions here are not acceptable. Reactions to her captivity continued, but unfortunately no results were obtained. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYyv1dcfSUs

**Kiska was born in 1976** in the Atlantic Ocean near Iceland. She was **caught when she was 3** and spent **44 years of her life as a prisoner in a pool** with her 6-metre body. She lived in the pool of MarineLand amusement park in **Canada**. Kiska was an orca who had lost 5 cubs. **PETA** (PEOPLE FOR THE ETHICAL TREATMENT OF ANIMALS) fought for her but to no avail. PETA, ***"like all orcas and other dolphins held prisoner in marine parks and exploited for entertainment, she deserved to stay in the ocean with her family, where she could have experienced a natural life."*** said. I totally agree with that. ![kiska3.webp](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmU8vnrSTX73PEbSWFqJZ378NNm1Du8W6mzk67nUzjMfPV/kiska3.webp) [](https://uk.whales.org/2023/03/12/kiska-the-worlds-loneliest-whale-dies-at-canadian-theme-park/) [Whale and Dolphin Conservation](https://uk.whales.org/whales-dolphins/species-guide/orca-killer-whale/) (WDC) is a charity that aims to protect whales and dolphins. According to the WDC, there are **56 orcas in captivity** around the world. There are hundreds of thousands of captive animals who are abused, exploited and persecuted in the name of entertainment. There is a good **law** enacted in **2019**. According to the law, ***it is forbidden to prevent the reproduction of whales and dolphins and to keep them in captivity***. Unfortunately, ***this law does not cover animals currently in captivity***. So there are still a lot of animals like Kiska that will continue to live in captivity :( ![kiska2.webp](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYr9AEMrCLGPRmQ1PFHDiTMt2sBiZXRKkZMF3rU7EkC2e/kiska2.webp) [](https://www.thestar.com/nd/news/niagara-region/2023/03/10/kiska-sometimes-know-as-the-worlds-loneliest-orca-has-died-at-marineland.html) How **cruel and selfish** it is to ***make money off living creatures whose freedom has been stolen***. It is very sad that such situations still exist in the 21st century! Moreover, **it is wrong to take children to aquariums, pools and dolphinariums for the love of nature**. We must instill in our children the **love of nature to support living things in their natural habitat**. In this way, we can say stop to animal exploitation. So that **Kiska's sufferings are not in vain** and **her death inspires a change**. Rest in peace, **Kiska 💜** **Thank you.**
