More wild orcas captured for amusement parks
Three more orcas, or killer whales, have now been confirmed to have been captured in Russian waters for transportation to amusement parks and aquariums.
The capture happened in mid-August in the Sea of Okhotsk—the massive far eastern inland sea of Russia, lying due north of Japan—but details are just coming to light. The three orcas, were taken by a Russian catching team, believed to be the team that caught a female orca in the same general area at the same time last year.
