- Twelve of the #belugas and all ten of the #orcas held in the "whale jail" in Russia's Srednyaya Bay have been released. Find out how these whales are doing now that they're swimming in the open ocean for the first time in almost a year from Charles Vinick, director of the Whale Sanctuary Project, who stepped forward to help secure their release along with his friend Jean Michel Cousteau. ⠀#oceanx

You guys are absolutely incredible freeing these imprisoned whales, full respect.
Thank you for everything you do for the imprisoned belugas and orcas. We need more people like you in this world
god bless you guys and what you stand for
This clip made me smile throughout! Absolutely love seeing wild animals being set free back home in the rich oceans and allowed to be what they want to be
Thank you from my heart for freeing these beautiful creatures back to their homes in nature, they will always be grateful for their freedom. May God bless them all. 💙🐳🐬🐋💙
We have no right to take these beautiful creatures for our own entertainment and possession. Thank you so much for working so hard to free them. May they live a long and happy life with their pods.❤
Free the whales! 🐳🐳🐳
I’m joyfully teared up,as these wildlife are free after imprisonment.Thanks for the good work.
Thanks to you for helping! Free the "Whale Jail!" That's horrible!
Was anyone charged for capturing and holding the animals prisoners?
Amanda good
@@CleverClover2023 fines aren't enough.
@@Dravianpn02 I totally agree with the fines are not enough
Yep. *Russia* got probably sued (considering that's a russian area considering belugas exist there).
Very upsetting to observe this amazing creatures in such unhealthy situation. Thanks to all humans helping to relocate this whales.
🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for your kindness. It really warm my heart to see them free.
Thank you. I love you orca and beluga whales and the angels that have rescued you all from the protests to the truck drivers. God bless you all.
That's an enormous amount of work! God bless you!
What do you need for me to do? Now that You have made me aware of their plight. Do you need me to voice my voice? Do you need me to contacting someone in the US Government? Please let me know what you need for me to do. I will forward this video of their story to people I know but I could use some direction for an action plan because people will ask me; what can we do? Keep up the good fight, because as we all should know, if our oceans go, so will we!!!

How come we can’t hear about these things in the news?
because nobody cares🐚😔
It was where I live
@@TheOhmysweetnurse Nah. /
Not enough media attention plus other. /
The media is only interested in ratings and making $$$
A very good man helping these poor whales
absolute heroes! if i ever saw a true hero it is this man and everyone involved in this effort. THANK YOU!!!
So glad the whales have been and are being released. Bless all of the people that made this possible
I love the “remember to keep comments and respectful….” reminder. I guess they know that some of us are so disgusted by the R’s and how horrible they are. I’m so sad but also happy y’all are trying so hard to help.
Finally! Now lets do it all around the world 😥
glad to see Cousteau still active
A simple "thank you" seems incredibly insufficient for the overwhelming gratitude I have for your work in cetacean advocacy. This story has shaken me to my emotional core & I support your efforts to free these captured cetaceans & to prevent the future capture of any other cetaceans. Is there is a way for people like myself to get involved, to make a difference or contribute to the cause of rescue/release & prevention of future captures?May God bless you & your work 🙏☺️ Namasté dear ones🕊️
Huge thank you for reporting on this and taking action to release these glorious creatures!
Good effort! I'd forgotten about this, hope you sort something out for the remaining whales 🤞🤞
Sick and greedy people
This brings tears, how can humans be so cruel? What have happened to the 75 Belugas? FREEDOM for all!
They were all released.
Thank God for people like you
God bless you all for this amazing work your doing to free these beautiful animals. They belong in the wild and thanks to you amazing people that's where they are returned. God Bless you all 👍 💖
Thank U So Very Much for Ur hard work, commitment & sacrifice that U put in to free these animals. They belong in the wild, r are their best, most beautiful, most joyful & most majestic, in the wild, not in captivity.
Was I in the middle of something? Yes. Yes I was. Did I stop what I was doing in order to watch this? Yes. Yes I did. Do I pick this video over what I was doing? Yes. Yes I do. ❤️❤️❤️
Good job. I can not put into words how darn proud I am of this guy's ability to orchistait this successfully. It used to make me infuriated when I would hear these marine biologist or so-called experts say that these animals can never survive in the wild and that they need to be in captivity and need humans. I used to say will let them be free and I would rather roll the dice and let them go. Best to release them two at a time together if possible
Where they able to save the other 75 beluga whales? They are so sweet and pure. God bless them 🤗
🙏 faith in humanity comes from people like these fighting for what's right 🙏
I comment this effort! I’ve always had a fascination with whales and dolphins. I would absolutely love to go see and interact with them, but I can’t bring my self to do it knowing the hell they go through for people to use them for profit. It’s so sad to see the depression, self harm, and the bad things that come with them being in captivity!
Yes THANK GOD THIS time ⌚ has come. Been SEVERELY affected by these jails. U guys ARE AMAZING 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 🙏🏼
You all did *_FANTASTICALLY_* *_AMAZING_* work, I hate to see Fish and Cetaceans crammed in concrete and metal. *_EPIC_* *_WORK_* !!!!!
I suspect they were going / are going to be sold to China. China has built some awful “aquariums” to hold orcas, and those were wild orcas from Russia.
AWESOME 👍🏻 🙏🏻 Thank you all for what you do. God Bless you
God bless you for freeing these beautiful animals
True heroism. 🏅
God bless those who help animals.

Thank you so much for saving these animals.
Why do we feel we have the right to steal this amazing animal and hold it captive and sell it?! I am ashamed of being human.
Thank you Thank you so much for sharing this.. I absolutely love these majestic creatures ... FREE ALL THE ORCAS AND CLOSE UP ALL THE SEAWORLDS AND ZOOS ETC. IT'S AMAZING TO SEE THIS HAPPENING. THANK YOU SO MUCH
Inspirational. Since I was a kid in the 70s conservation and animal welfare really has come on. It’s hard to imagine hunting these animals.
Thank you!!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much!
Thank God!
Thanks to the people. Look at what we as a World can accomplish, when we stand up together. I have seen Ocras in my childhood. It is not worth their Lives. I'm proud.
Omg finally! Thank you
Amazing! Well done! Thank you! 👏👏🐬🐳😍
Amazing!!!
Bless your kind heart. Thank goodness they are FREE
Great vid
Great work
Thank you😭❤️
Logistics genius
Great and noble work
Very nice work sir
Nice 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 these animals belong in their natural home which is the big beautiful ocean 💙 and nowhere else so good job 👏 guy's and hopefully you all will get the rest of them back home to the ocean as well 💯💯💯💯💯💯💙💙💙💙💙💙
Thank you for helping the whales and Orca. I hope karma, or God, or the whale spirits teach the capturers a lesson and judge them accordingly. people suck. thankfully there are the few good people who know the difference between wrong and right and choose to do the right thing no matter the cost. you get what you give in this world and hurting animals is one of the most horrible things humans do.
Good people of this world, if you can help this organization in any way, please support them. send them money, because you know transporting whales and orca cant be cheap.
And for Gods sake people: Be Nice. Strive to be good people. Give Love Give Love Give Love!
God Bless all you people who are trying to help these animals
I saw Keiko at the Oregon aquarium before he was released..
Thank you for giving the belugas' and orcas' their freedom back! If it weren't for you amazing people, they would be slaves to entertainment. HUGE RESPECT FOR YOU AND YOUR TEAM, CHARLES!!! Tokitae of Miami $lavePri$on is next! #FreeLolita
UPDATE: *All the marine majesties trapped in the whale jail have been released! Yet China has initiated the breeding of captive marine mammals and still allows captures, smh.*
I am haunted by the beluga at the aquarium in Atlanta. Tiny, barren, solitary confinement tank where guests can enjoy its frantic swimming.
April 25, 2023, what status of release is there of the other ones?
Well done but what about the orca whales that are currently held in captivity in the United States, in Europe, S America and Japan? Should they be tanked up?
The only reason these whales were able to be released is because the captures were illegal. Its very very and sometimes impossible hard to get legally captured cetaceans to be rescued. Right now there is simply no where to send them to if organizations were to somehow free them. .
But Lolita has a habitat ready and they are killing her
Full Respect 🙏
Please God dont let these innocence creatures suffer.
Yesss, bann on SeaWorld. Close the SeaWorld prisons and other so called. "leisure Parks"
Respect to you man
Thank you for the work you are doing. Do we know where the various whales were captured? They live in families called Pods that are long lasting. These whales need to find their way home to their pod.
The releases have already happened. The whales were captured in sea of okhotsk, but released in the sea of japan. All the whales made their way back to where they were taken and the ones that were tagged rejoined their wild pods.
@@CleverClover2023 Yea!
Beautiful
Are you able to help Lolita the Orca , from the Miami Aquarium? Her tank is extremely small and it’s filthy. Something need to be done and I’m trying hard to get help. 🥺❤️
There isnt much that the Whale Sanctuary Project can do for her. Its a matter of winning legal battles and getting a sanctuary site up and ready for her.
They never belonged there to begin with. Thank you for getting them out. Humans are horrible. How could they even look at that and think it's OK?! Disgusting! They belong free and in the wild!
I mean I wouldn't really campaign on the free willy thing considering it basically showed that capture whales can't be successfully released.
Youre wrong. Wild caught whales and dolphins have a better chance at being rehabilitated and released successfully. It has been done in the past with orcas and other whales and dolphins. This is the first time such a large release of captive whales has been done. These whales were released and reunited with their pods after a few days.
Were the orcas still able to hunt without training? I would like to know how long captive orcas can be released like that... Gives me hope for other animals in orca prisons!
beautiful
Did they all get out?
Apologies if this is an idiotic question but why couldn't the orcas & belugas be released where they were rather than putting them through the stress of transporting them halfway around the world?
Because thats not where they were originally captured at. The whales were transported 2000 miles back to the location they were taken from.
I cant believe people can be so cruel these beautiful creatures need freedom there is no doubt we are horrible human race.
why were they captured?
Bruh thats hell, the hell are they doing hope everything turned out allright 2:55 Aww
they don't live like us, they are wild and need a big place to be free and happy
Poor whales 😭😭😭 save them please 🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭
thanks to all those people yall are the goat
was the release of all these captive whales completed and without deaths to any...pls reply
It is said that one beluga was found dead, but the others are doing just fine.
looked like a big pet shop to me. so are they wild or was someone breeding them
They are all wild.
How did they get them there in the first place? Surely it would be simpler to send them out the same way??
How do you think they transported the whales? The animals were hauled up in nets, loaded into containers on ships, then dumped into the tiny pens. They were released much the same way.
Respect!!!!❤❤
Now SeaWorld next!
I don’t understand why they just didn’t set the belugas free where they were rather than depend on that insane transport process.
Because the bay where the whales were being held is NOT where they were captured. If they had simply released there the animals wouldnt know where to go and would have likely stayed in the sea pens. Taking them back to the capture location gives the whales the best chance to figure out where they are and reunite with their pods.
U r all my hero's ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Respect. Love you 😘 all 💞.
International law must protect this beautiful and sweet specimens..... Jail only for humans that are incapable to respect the law and animals rights
each and everyone involved in this activity should be put in solitary confinement, these whales are not criminals. it's astounding how humans have the audacity of calling themselves as superior and hurt
other creatures, worst is they don't leave their own kind
I hope they are able to survive on their own now that humans have made them dependant.
The animals were only held captive for a year so they didn’t lose their culture.
they are much more intelligent than we know. guardiansoflove
The question is, how did they geht the animals in the cages? Basically, that would be the route to return them.
How do you think? They were captured and loaded into containers, trucks and ships.
sad tha keiko will not have the chance to be here r.i.p keiko
We are such a cruel specie
