Two orca whales, Wikie and Keijo, from a closed French theme park are set to be moved to Loro Parque in Spain, raising concerns from animal welfare groups about their potential exploitation for entertainment. The French government had previously rejected this move but has now reversed its decision. Experts warn that the conditions at Loro Parque are unsuitable for the orcas, and there are fears that moving them could perpetuate the very practices that the 2021 French law aimed to eliminate. The situation remains contentious, with various stakeholders expressing their views on the welfare of the animals.
