Okay, fine..and how about the rest of all animals?? How about the bird in a cage?? The further it comes from, the more proud it makes us?? -- HUMANS DO NOT OWN ANIMALS, PERIOD!! ---
They are thriving I work with them Also little white likes the controlled inside (used over the winter) rather than the "chaotic outside" however little gray loves the outside
This is such a moment that we waited for so long. I'm so grateful for those people who worked so hard educating the public and lobbying against animal abuse in entertainment in my home country.
This is the next best documentary after Sir David Attenborough. Fantastic to see such a happy ending to be free from captivity. Kudos to everyone involved 👏 👏
First things first: don't capture them! No Beluga's, Seal's nor Orca's.. No Hummingbirds, no Treefrogs and Pythons.. No Ocelots, Desert foxes and Monkeys.. -- HUMANS DO NOT OWN ANIMALS, PERIOD.!!-- ( we just are one..)
If scientists could some how put together a visual instructional video of "How to Hunt" to play for them underwater that they would be able to follow and comprehend and then implement games they could partake in to mimic hunting...
The bay can hold up to 10 whales and they will be in free captivity unless they become self sufficient in Wich case we would release them into the wild
100% of captive cetaceans can be transferred to a more natural environment that will give them more of a semblance of the lives they're meant to live, but have been denied of for so long.
Wonderful! When will other owners of these parks with captive whales and dolphins realise that people would be far more willing to pay and see their animals if they could create bays like this where they are displayed more ethically. Let’s hope this isn’t the last of these bays, which is ostensibly the equivalent of a wild life park for aquatic mammals.
It's just hard to find these kind of bay The requirements are 1 it's around where belugas live 2 have safety from the elements of nature 3 have a town close to the bay so the staff can have a home 4 be in a country Wich is accepting animal rehabilitation 5 have good water flow in the bay 6 get the whales from captivity 7 get the whales to the bay However if there were many more sites with these requirements we could rescue Manny whales
They are currently in a tiny indoor pool that's about 3 to 4 times their body length. This project, just like all the other "sanctuary" projects, has failed.
@@torpid That's not true. There were never captive breeding programs that re-introduced belugas back into the wild. They were only ever bred to be traded among other marine parks, many times not quite legally.
@@torpidNot true. Belugas (and other sea mammals including dolphins and orcas, especially orcas though) often live much shorter in captivity. Wild belugas can live up to 60 (some recent studies even say 70, although their average lifespan is 35-50), while captive ones often die before 30, or much less. Belugas aren’t a critically endangered species, so no, we don’t need to go up to the extent on capturing them, ESPECIALLY when we know they don’t do well in captivity, no different than other whales. We’ve already learned more from the wild ones than we did from the captive ones, and the way to do conservation to protect such a species is to learn about them, prove how intelligent they are and how complex their social life is, something we can’t do when they’re captive, since it would be like watching a prison courtyard and basing human behavior on it. But we’ve already learned that, considering how much research there is on it, but it seems like belugas, orcas, and dolphins will never be fully protected, because it’s not okay to hunt them as they’re intelligent and play an important role in the ecosystem (yes, all of those three species do), but supposedly okay to capture them, take them from their home and family to put them in a concrete tank for profit. Seeing an animal do unnatural tricks in an unnatural environment isn’t educational, nor something that would convince anyone to actually want to save and protect them. It makes them be seen like mere toys for our amusement, not very smart beings born to be in the vast ocean :/
What gives humans the right to enslave other life forms! As a saiyan I know what slavery is. My people worked and endured mistreatment at the hands of frieza! As the prince if all Saiyans I applaud the brave people that freed the belugas!
Im confused. sea life/merlin have other species in captivity . Merlin have sea lions performing for the public and im not too sure what the difference is. Why cant they be released also. no difference to me. I know it might be hard for some animals to go back to the wild but these beluga whales say otherwise.
Not enough, a lot of animals are purposely not returned to the wild because they wouldn’t survive. It would be like housing a baby in a room for years with everything being given to it on a plate then expecting it to survive in the woods on its own whens its grown.
Cetaceans dont have 'instincts'. Everything they learn is passed down from their mothers and pod members...what to eat, how to hunt, the behaviors and language specific to their pods. Its a type of culture. The idea that animals are mechanical thinkers is so outdated. We know so much about their cultures and lives that its clear they are very much like humans.
Keiko did not die because he was released he was in bad health prior to release. He died of normal circumstances and lived the average age of male orcas. The pro captivity industry painted his release as a failure because it made people think twice about releasing them. I spoke with the manager of his release and read all the reports WSP was successful and Keiko had a great life in the wild.
but what i am interested in is what made the owners of the marine park turn around? what made them switch. cuz i really want them orcas to be set free as well
These performing aquariums like Sea Life are such cruel soulless places with zero care for these majestic animals.I.pathologically hate zoos..rescue centres I don't because they're therapeutic places caring for sick, injured & the abandoned..but to make any creature perform like this is just vile...shame on all who visit these places.
Pracht dier ongelooflijk intelligent ongelooflijk iniatief van mensen met geld super ik heb echt bewondering dat jullie jullie geld willen besteden voor dieren
![Friendly beluga whale wanted to say hello & get petted [ep7]](/img/1.gif)
Now this is the news we like to see, magnificent and beautiful animals being set free or more free than they were originally were.
Well, that escalated quickly.
Lord Redfern 🤣🤣
Okay, fine..and how about the rest of all animals?? How about the bird in a cage?? The further it comes from, the more proud it makes us??
-- HUMANS DO NOT OWN ANIMALS, PERIOD!! ---
Belugas are such precious, beautiful and very fascinating creatures they deserve to be free like this
May all of them be rescued and set free.
That Lagoon is gorgeous. I hope Little White and Little Grey are thriving!.
They are thriving
I work with them
Also little white likes the controlled inside (used over the winter) rather than the "chaotic outside" however little gray loves the outside
I want to hug them they’re so cute
Such a beautiful Sentient intelligent creature
This is such a moment that we waited for so long. I'm so grateful for those people who worked so hard educating the public and lobbying against animal abuse in entertainment in my home country.
Fantastic beautiful animals who deserve their freedom
They 100% do! Tokitae the orca is next on the list...
@@sarahhaaniaxoxoShe died a month ago....
Absolutely beautiful to see.
it makes me cry every time i see this
I met them in Iceland’s aquarium, I fell in love with them and got a tattoo of a beluga because of how special they were. I’m so happy for them❤️
Tattoos😒. So attractive at 60.
Just such amazing souls ....Please let this just be the beginning of carefully setting other Whales free.... It really is the least we can do.
What a brilliant team these beautiful creatures have working for them! Well done guys!
I Love Beluga whales!
Makes me so happy in this tough times
1:18 Good on the new owners! Morality over profit.
Feels my heart with happiness ❤️
I just love belugas
It’s look so beautiful 😍😍
the way I would give it all up for these cuties
“As she prepares them for the wild” proceeds to command the beluga to do a barrel roll.
This is great news! ❤️ hope all of them are doing really well and all the others in captivity will be released soon too! 🙏🩷🥹🐳🐳🐳💙
Bless them
0:22 "why, hello."
This is the next best documentary after Sir David Attenborough. Fantastic to see such a happy ending to be free from captivity. Kudos to everyone involved 👏 👏
What a perfect place for them
In some hippies imagination?
Free all of them
First things first: don't capture them!
No Beluga's, Seal's nor Orca's..
No Hummingbirds, no Treefrogs and Pythons..
No Ocelots, Desert foxes and Monkeys..
-- HUMANS DO NOT OWN ANIMALS, PERIOD.!!--
( we just are one..)
Beautiful project! ❤️
Good, who ever the person is the new owner. good.
Nice to see that Burley and Rigby have taken up swimming whilst they are on gardening leave.
So cute 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Oh good it was about time! ❤️
This is so awesome!
Verry god job guys. God bless ur familly
Hope they have better life!
If scientists could some how put together a visual instructional video of "How to Hunt" to play for them underwater that they would be able to follow and comprehend and then implement games they could partake in to mimic hunting...
Lovely❣
BEAUTIFUL.👍👍👍
FREEDOM!!!
I wish we couls talk to them and ask whats up.
Free Belugas !
If this is possible then it’s possible for all captive whales and dolphins.
The bay can hold up to 10 whales and they will be in free captivity unless they become self sufficient in Wich case we would release them into the wild

@@Boop__Doop "free captivity" is an oxymoron. lol
@@FEARNoMore How fitting, as most anti-caps are morons.
This is wonderful.
May 22 how are they breaks your heart to see them in captivity
I like the new owner.
hope they will survive!
lovely xxx
Wonderful! When will other owners of these parks with captive whales and dolphins realise that people would be far more willing to pay and see their animals if they could create bays like this where they are displayed more ethically. Let’s hope this isn’t the last of these bays, which is ostensibly the equivalent of a wild life park for aquatic mammals.
It's just hard to find these kind of bay
The requirements are
1 it's around where belugas live
2 have safety from the elements of nature
3 have a town close to the bay so the staff can have a home
4 be in a country Wich is accepting animal rehabilitation
5 have good water flow in the bay
6 get the whales from captivity
7 get the whales to the bay
However if there were many more sites with these requirements we could rescue Manny whales
I've seen this white baby in the sky i caught it on my phone she's beautiful
This is awesome... 😭😊🙏
Would recommend everyone watch the full documentary on their release on ITV player. Get the tissues ready though.
Hvaldimir ought to join this dynamic duo...
RIP Hvaldimir.
They are where they belong now beautiful story my hope is all sealife goes back in the ocean where they belong
They are currently in a tiny indoor pool that's about 3 to 4 times their body length. This project, just like all the other "sanctuary" projects, has failed.
I love me some happy whale videos.
They shouldn't have been caught in the first place. Thanks for letting them go
It's totally
Great day too see 👀 👍
Keep us updated
HOW MANY?? 300 belugas still in captivity???
Something went terribly wrong with us humans, I suppose..
It would be 0 in the wild if it was not for captivity

Save the Vaquita there may inky be 19 individuals left......Vaquita meaning (little cow )

❤❤❤❤❤
I thought that beluga whale was some rare deep sea monster that some idiot was trying to clickbait at first. Then I read the title :D
Good to see Gemma Collins and Alison Hammond out swimming, getting some much needed exercise.
Confined in China that says it all really
So sad their endangered now😢
They're not. They are classified as 'least concern' according to the IUCN list.
I've seen the John Bishop videos, he helped rescue and free them.
Be free little grey n little white !! :D
#freeBelugas
How can anyone bear to see captive whale and dolphin shows?? I just don’t get it
i go to school im in year 4 and i adoptid littel gray and pay as a class £5 a month to feed him and look after him so ye thats what happend
Please put all Belugas in their

Kind of free.
I am sure their natural instinct would kit in, like every living thing?!

Above this in my feed is a video of Matt Hancock, the thumbnails look shockingly similar!

Free at last
As if the UK and other countries don’t have aquariums where they also hold animals un captivity.
Not sure there was a comparison drawn. . . . Silly comment
💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
Are they still alive?
Thought for sure the MSCHF number would be here..
Just wierd how they can get paid for a job that is basically just for 300 big fish
I hope their fate is not the same as Keiko' s, such sad ending to his story.
this time they are still looking after them, they are just in a bigger area which is very close to there natural habitat!
I don't find it particularly sad. He was around 27 at the time, which is close to the average life expectancy for male orcas living in the wild.
Keiko did not die because he was released he was in bad health prior to release. He died of normal circumstances and lived the average age of male orcas.

@@Einargizz no it’s not
@@Einargizz that’s young for a wild orca male orcas can live up until they are 50/60 not 27
but what i am interested in is what made the owners of the marine park turn around? what made them switch. cuz i really want them orcas to be set free as well
New owners, who didn’t believe that whales should be held in captivity, bought the park.
why are the water so dark????
It's the ocean. The ''color'' changes depending on how cloudy it is outside, how murky the water is, etc. It's an ever-changing environment.

Finally no buotthurt pro caps in the comments saying THERE BEING PUT IN A GROSS POLLUTED PEN
Pro-caps are so selfish. All they care about is their entertainment.
Are they restricted to the lagoon? If yes, how?
Yes, the bay is netted off
So they went from a small aquarium to a big aquarium
She worried she hasn’t done enough to prepare them for the wild while she gives them treats for performing tricks lol
Pracht dier ongelooflijk intelligent ongelooflijk iniatief van mensen met geld super ik heb echt bewondering dat jullie jullie geld willen besteden voor dieren
Sorry..I.meant to say Sea World then & NOT Sea Life !!
Why some native people still eat this beautiful creatures

They need to do this to release killer whales back in to the wild
