Iβm ashamed to say that my father was one of the fishermen who is responsible for the capture of two belugaβs in 1967 saying they were caught accidentally in Alaskan fisheryβs and sent to the Vancouver aquarium. I always called the story bullπ© Because my dad was all about the hunt and the money π’π’π’π’π’ Sickened me then and still sickens meπ’π’π’π’π’
All these marine slave parks need to shut down and all these animals need to be freed and sent to seaside sanctuaries. That's so wonderful to hear the kids who said their goodbyes to Little White and Little Gray. Even the kids get it; they understand that these marine slave parks are cruel and inhumane. Finally this show ended, that is a victory for Little White and Little Gray, they are finally free and on their way to the ocean, their home where they belong. They will no longer be forced to perform. β€
I honestly can not imagine how utterly terrified they must have been. Being separated, for the first time ever. Not knowing why, what, or where they are going
With everything going on in the world, it's refreshing to see people coming together to save these animals. It's incredible to know that there are still compassionate individuals willing to invest money, dedicate their time and effort and use their expertise to rescue these whales. May God bless these people.
There should be more such sanctuaries everywhere in the world. That still allows income from tourism, but it's on the terms of the whales. Whales and dolphins love interacting with humans and they love getting treats, so if you combine that with a sanctuary where they can live as they please, then everyone is happy.
These majestic beluga whales should not be for people's pure entertainment.This is wonderful what your doing for these beautiful mammals.ππ
It's good to upload these videos.They make many gullible people aware of the difference between cruelty and the entertainment. Thanks π
SO CUTE. I LOVE Beluga whales
Awww the kiddies saying bye is so wholesome!! π₯°π₯°π₯°π₯°π₯°π₯° Love this doc!!
It's about time these beautiful creatures get treated with the respect they deserveβ€
After watching several docs and reading a book by a long-time SeaWorld orca trainer, Iβve been hoping to sea captive cetaceans that arenβt candidates for release into the wild be released into sea pen sanctuaries like this one. So glad to see the first of hopefully many. Dr. Ingrid Visser must be so thrilled.
Changfeng aquarium is very close to my home in Shanghai where i grew up, iβve heard the news on local tv but first time to witness the whole process through this documentary, so glad such wonderful thing happened and shout out to the administration of the Changfeng Aquarium who made the decision to return the belugas to the big ocean, Iβve seen to many sad animals like polar bears locked up in tiny little room in the zoo living really unhappy, like the one in Hakejima in Japan, finally a good news and people really making actual moves !
This is so emotional ! Makes me tear!! No whale should be in captivity. Thank you for doing all these !! Awesome team !!
These beautiful animals should have NEVER BEEN IN CAPTIVITY! thank you to the angels and all the heroes involved in the rescue efforts!
Only 2 minutes in, I started crying. I donβt know why but it feel so emotional to see them free. Thanks to all the people involve in this project π
As a Horse owner. You dont train them to load in the big area, then change all the parameters including removing their water. Train pairs or multiples to load in pairs (two slings in unison, like theyre trained to perform) where possible. In the area you will load them from. Dont stand in front of the area you are asking them to go to. Dont stare and use tense body postures. And KEEP their Trainers they trust with them at all times. Herd Flock or Pod. πππ
I wish these beautiful animals NOTHING BUT HAPPINESS AND SUCCESS! ππππππππ
Mr. Hicks, you are a remarkable man. Thank you for the truest kindness to these beautiful creatures. You are a very special person- for the world. We all need more men like you... Blessings of the greatest and truest happiness to you and your family. Lisa, from Alberta Canada.β€
The beluga whale is the most adorable whales ever!! I would love to know how many have been rescued since.
