(Orca whales at Loro Parque)


We also went to see the animal park 'Loro Parque', it went well in the start where we saw what the park did for the animals, especially the parrots. But after seeing the dolphins and the killer whales (Orcas), jammed in small tanks, this was absolutely Orca abuse at 'Loro Parque', the Orcas deserve to be free in the mighty oceans. Don't go there and support the animal cruelty, we are very sorry that we went there.

Loro Parque (Spanish for 'parrot park') is a zoo and marine theme park located on the island of Tenerife in Spain’s Canary Islands. Loro Parque displays captive birds, dolphins, and sea lions and, in partnership with SeaWorld, keeps orcas jammed in cramped tanks. Orcas are intelligent animals who work cooperatively, have sophisticated social structures, communicate using distinct dialects, and swim up to 100 miles every day. Being denied the opportunity to engage in such natural behavior leaves orcas frustrated and bored. With little else to do, they neurotically mouth and bite the sides of the tanks. Wild orcas are inquisitive, energetic, and almost always on the move. Orcas at Loro Parque often float motionless at the surface, bob listlessly, or beg nearby trainers for food. Orcas are sometimes kept isolated in holding tanks, and trainers pay little attention to them. From the very beginning of Orca Ocean, SeaWorld officials taught Loro Parque orca trainers, including during sessions at SeaWorld's San Antonio and Orlando parks. SeaWorld’s corporate mindset and how its trainers view and treat the orcas have driven the trainers’ attitudes at Loro Parque.
