Corky and Lolita have been in captivity for over half a century. Lolita is from the Puget Sound Southern Resident orca population, which was decimated by captures in the sixties and seventies. They are now listed as critically endangered. Her mother, Ocean Sun, is estimated to be between eighty and ninety years old. They will probably never be reunited. Corky is a Northern Resident and member of the A-23 pod. Her sister, brother, niece and grand-nephews can still be seen roaming the coastal waters of British Columbia. What different lives they must lead.
You said it yourself they probably would have all died because the resident Vancouver pod are dying because of lack of food, human encroachment on their territory and pollution. Stop the lying. Their story is tragic don't make up false info to attempt to cause ire.
Corky, is a female captive killer whale from the A5 Pod. Her mother, designated A23, nicknamed "Stripe", died in 2000.. How's that for your honesty. just google Corky's mother. Corky more than likely way outlived her own mother and she is healthy but you want to murder her by releasing a senior citizen into the wild. Immoral
I usually SKip ads... but I saw this... and it brought me here... imagine captivity for over 50 years.... Humans are on some other ish
JUST LET CORKY GO!!! I just don't understand how they can know what they are doing to the orcas but yet still continue the cruel ways! Congratulations Peta on the significant changes you have made to end sea world.
Money. It’s all about the bottom dollar for SeaWorld. CEOs don’t want to let go of their moneymakers. SeaWorld spent millions on those orca exhibits. According to Blackfish, SeaWorld trainers “jerked off” male orcas, i.e. Tilikum, and sold their sperm for millions (?). Let that sink in. SeaWorld disgusts me. 😡
I really hope seaworld will do the right thing for corky, all the other animals at seaworld and the animals family. it's always been my dream to start a marine life rehabilitation center, which is basically what corky will be going to (hopefully) for all the marine life of vancouver island
bring corky home !
What a beautiful animal. Animals are not meant to be ours. They are them. They own themselves. Disgusting humans.
when he spoke about Corky´s mum and i saw her pod i started crying ...we have to get the whales out of seaworld !!!
#SeaWorldOfHurt #FreeCorky2016
I agree with you but seaworld is being childish dipshits and money grubbing bitches that wanta keep this whale captive for all the bucks. Seaworld is garbage filled with rude ass owners and rude staff members. They all need to grow up and let this whale go back to her home waters this minute. It won’t surprise me if someone sneaks into the park one day and takes her out of that tank without their permission and take her to the wild without seaworld owners knowing jack shit of where she went and who took her. Whoever does will be a genius
the katina, kiska and narnia orcas also deserve freedom < the 11 orcas that were released in Russia without rehabilitation some were seen swimming alongside wild orcas
@@glenngarland3256 That would be impossible. Where would they get the materials to take her out of her tank, lubricate her, put her on a plane, and and then to put her in a seapen/rehab? And another thing, yould be trespassing and you'd immediately be caught. How about every single animal at a zoo? We have to do the same with them wouldn't we? Not to mention, pets as well! No one will never have the money or resources to pull this off you know that right?
It's way more complicated than it seems. I agree that the orcas are being treated very horribly but most are born into captivity. This means that they most likely won't survive in the wild. They don't know how to hunt, run away from predators, and they aren't immune to some bacterias that might be in the ocean. It's a nice thought but it's kinda like a fairy tale. If we were to put the captive orcas into the wild, they'd probably be the ones who were taken from the wild and not many are because they captive breed them. I wish it were this easy. No hate btw.
I remember Corky when I was a kid.. saw her at Marineland with Orky. I didn’t realize they got her so young….she is now 51 years old and she’s got another 40 years at least…what a shameful act, knowing what we know now about orcas, this is downright cruel to still have her and others in captivity. GET HER BACK HOME NOW!
It's absolutely heartbreaking :( No animal deserves to be stolen from their home and family. Make sure to encourage everyone you know to never buy a ticket to these cruel 'abusement' parks! You can take action for Corky here: support.peta.org/page/2440/action/
Why is she kept in captivity at all?
You do realize that animals that have been in captivity for so long cannot return to the wild as they will die due to the lack of skills getting food right? Remember free Willy? The orca died months after it was released because it couldn’t get food in the wild as it was so used to be in captivity and be given food that it was impossible to adapt, in some cases is better for the animals to stay in captivity buy i agree the orca should be given some rest of the shows and be in an aquarium for her or something like that to be in peace
@@emiliolopez4937 what they did was still very wrong and i really wish theyd taught the animals skills for them to be able to survive when they are released but marine life rehabilitation centres or retirement homes for animals like here do exist, i think it would be possible for her to rest there than to be released without any survival skills. it rlly breaks my heart to see them be used for money and entertainment when they have lives and families of their own. it also hurts me to see that they do not even know how to survive in the wild because theyd just been taught to perform their whole lives. its so sad that we might never see them free or in peace
@@emiliolopez4937 Why you lying?? "Free willy" his Name is Keiko lived 5 Years in Wild and even swam with other Pods! He feeded himself
SEAWORLD THE BEST THING YOU COULD DO AFTER RECIEVING SO MUCH FROM HER IS TO ALLOW HER TO RETIRE.
Yea but they dont got a heart 😕
She will die if she is released you don't realize that she was in captivity for to long to survive out in the wild
If they release an orca back into the wild, they will DIE. They can no longer survive in the wild, they have no pod, they are alone. You know Free Willy? Washed up on shore 2-3 weeks after being released.
There is nothing you can do for an Orca once its in captivity. They don't know how to hunt anymore.
@@Devilproking they don't know it and frankly I think they just like to use it as their excuse. People will be around her, if she is not eating, they will feed her. She survived over 50 years Las slave, being free is not gonna be worse no matter what.
Poor animal she needs her family
She does.
Thank you Pamela Anderson for speaking out on this! I watched Black Fish years ago, and I truly feel there has to be a way to save these Orcas, and get them ALL out of Sea World. I wish people would open their eyes to this cruelty. How would we feel if we were separated, or family members were taken, and and treated this way. So sad. 😢
I so hope that Corky is returned home where she belongs. Animals are not things for our use. Respecting animals means being vegan and not participating in their exploitation!
Free corky please!
this was from 2016 so corky is 56 now.
Paul Spong, a man I am continually in aww over. Ethics, principals, compassion, honesty, dedicated.
this world is so fucked up
BRING CORKY HOME!
look at her collapsed dorsal fin, she doesn't have the strength in it to be vertical due to lack of proper exercise in that tiny tank. orcas are beautiful wild animals. shame on sea world. empty the tanks now.
It's way more complicated than it seems. I agree that the orcas are being treated very horribly but most are born into captivity. This means that they most likely won't survive in the wild. They don't know how to hunt, run away from predators, and they aren't immune to some bacterias that might be in the ocean. It's a nice thought but it's kinda like a fairy tale.

Ugh corky is one of the few with a straight dorsal fin.
Does anybody have any updates on this?
sea world let her go home do the right thing
Animals are not entertainment! Urge SeaWorld to stop the use of all animals. support.peta.org/page/1943/action/1?locale=en-US&PETA::Facebook&Social&::ent::PETA::Facebook::here%20not%20here%20seaworld%20video::::top%20com
Bring her back to her family!!!!!
YES!!!?
Has been done before the keiko orca
She deserves a more peaceful life. She deserves to be comfortable. She deserves to be reunited with her family, the A5 pod.
It is 2024 and Corky is still in captivity 😭She is 59 yrs old, and still has to perform several times a day and for what dead fish. I wish people would do some research and would read her story from the day she was taken from her mother till now. Corky has been through so much pain, loss, and grief in captivity. Also being beat up by other orcas. Ulisses a bull male orca has attacked her many times and if they were in the same tank together Corky would literally shut down. Ulisses bit her tail flukes and it got so infected that Corky almost lost her life. If you look closely there is a piece of her tail flukes missing. Kasatcka would protect her from Ulisses but she passed away in 2017. There is a video about a year ago of Kalia the matriarch attacking Corky, it's awful. After all her pain she has endured Corky is known as the sweetest, forgiving, and gentle giant held in captivity. Last year there was a documentary made about her, I am currently searching for it. Corky deserves so much better than stuck in a tank. FREE CORKY
I hate how horrible companies are to animals, all they try to grab is money and the ocean doesn't deserve to be treated like this. I wish I could go to SeaWorld and play a long and loud message about Corky, surely they would do something, right? I'm not sure, but I'm definitely going for helping Corky, and we don't want Corky to take her last breath at a SeaWorld. It's good news that business is dropping down for them, and someone could offer them a sum of money to get Corky back, and I would definitely help pay that. I hope Corky gets back to her family.
It's sad that the whales are taken from there family. Just to be put in a tank very sad 😢
@Debunking Anti SeaWorld claims what why
Then why capture them in the first place????
@SeaWorld Truth and CMA dolphins footage your disgusting
All marine mammals and fish belong in the open ocean, not in a pool.
If she’s going to die let her die in a sea pen so at least she can be close to her family one last time....let her die free
I wish Corky doesnt have such a sad life 😢
Si las personas dejan de ir a lo oceanarios, se termina esa calamidad de tener animales presos en cautiverio, una verdadera tragedia.
Rest assured I will NEVER go to one.
I live in the US And there are shock collars on the market..... I put it on myself and on the back it said to give a LITTLE shock, but I tested it on me and oh my god it hurt so bad I'm no cry baby so please expose shock collars ;( other dogs will not suffer because of SHOCK COLLARS!!!
totally agreed
Plasma Pawz101 Some one who understands!
Some humans have abused these incredible mammals for decades. It needs to end. Keeping an apex predator in captivity is cruel. Hopefully the people that do this are simply lacking intelligence and what they do is not knowingly mean spirited.
She is not free? 😢
The Vancouver Aquarium is a place I have been to several times. PETA, what's your opinion on them?
Any update?
Man is so cruel, just disgusting, SEAWORLD do something right for a change
Just more passion, teamwork, hope and support of people then Corky can return back to her home :))
poor corky. The fact that she did nothing to deserve this.
Corky is already old enough for this. Hopefully it will be granted that she will be set free to be in the wild with her family for the remaining years of her life. She deserves better than being in the tank for human entertainment.
Just like Tokitae did. Terrible enough she had to die before getting back to her mom Ocean Sun, let's have Corky reunited with her siblings considering their own mom Stripe died 23 years ago.
Come on people, we’re humans, the smart animals! We need to lead all the other animals, and treat them like our brothers and sisters cause we’re just like them! Seaworld is heartless, especially for letting an orca (I’m not mentioning the name) suffer, and die without any care!
It is our responsibility to advocate for these animals 💯🙏
Free them ??!!!!!!
This is so heartbreaking. They don't deserve this all to entertain people.
poor animal:-(
Please include also Lolita.
#FreeCorky man
This was five years ago, how about now?
just dont buy a ticket for your kids that can save the all dolphin n orca in the world. we must stop this bisnis togather we can do it..
Is there anywhere we can donate?
Corky must come home to her Family.
For those who don’t believe this is heartbreaking, imagine if this was you, imagine how sad you would be if your children DIED. Imagine if you were taken out of your home and stuck in captivity. This is, truly, heartbreaking and NO ONE cares.
didn't Corky get injured by Kandu Orkids mom?
Kandu rammed corky so hard that it broke kandu’s jaw and severed at artery, kandu bled to death and orkid just circled around her dead body
corky was attacked by orkids mother kandu yes but kandu severed her major artery and bleed to death and sunk to the bottom of the tank, while corky sustained minor injuries but otherwise was fine and orkid was then cared and nurtured by corky :)
seaworld dosent understand this THERES NO SUCH THING AS A TAME WILD ANIMAL FISH OR ORCA back then i loved seaworld thinkig they were kind and nice to the fishes now i know seaworld is bad and one more time if you try to tame a wild animal THERES NO SUCH THING AS A TAMED WILD ANIMAL
Greenfoxlps 18 I felt exactly the same I went to a show recently and I didn't enjoy it I almost feel ashamed of myself for not seeing the hurt.
No orca has ever killed a human in the wild. For some reason they don't attack us in the wild.
we need to do somethin #savetheplanet
She deserves better.
So let's do something about it!!!
When i heard corky story when i grow up im going to. Free her
I am in 2021 now in 2019 my mum adopted me Fife for a year from WDC Fife is Corky’s brother Corky deserves to see her family Corky has never met fife because she has been in captivity she deserves a chance to see her family
I saw that Prime Time Live video of Corky hearing her family's voice and saw her whole body shake! I almost started crying.

People need to continue mounting pressure on SeaWorld
SeaWorld knows it's days are numbered.
Please don't spam hate on this comment but I personally believe that whales that have been taken from captivity, should go back to the wild cuz that's their home. But whales that are born in captivity haven't seen their natural home and they see Seaworld or other marine parks as their home cuz that's were they were born. Don't take animals out of the ocean
The goal of releasing orcas who are born in captivity is to bring them to seaside sanctuaries that can provide gradual access to the wild, while still providing a safe environment for them to acclimate.
I agree with you they can’t go back especially the ones born there I personally believe all them should just stay there because the ocean is polluted
Omg I have bin to Vancouver aquarium
50 years a slave, to seaworld
question from 2021.......... what happen?
Basically seaworld is abusing corky
Still nothing yet
I want her free :(
Guys, it's too late. A famous orca was released into the wild and he died days after since he did not know how to survive.
It's way more complicated than it seems. I agree that the orcas are being treated very horribly but most are born into captivity. This means that they most likely won't survive in the wild. They don't know how to hunt, run away from predators, and they aren't immune to some bacterias that might be in the ocean. It's a nice thought but it's kinda like a fairy tale. If we were to put the captive orcas into the wild, they'd probably be the ones who were taken from the wild, and not many are because they captive breed them. I wish it were this easy. No hate btw.
What I'm trying to say is that he was captive bred not wild bred. Meaning Corky still could have had a chance.
this is not the same thing as being released into the wild. it simulates conditions of the wild in a controlled environment where she can still be monitored by humans. retirement is the right word for it
I think you may be referring to Keiko, the Orca from Free Willy. They retrained him to live in the wild and he actually survived for five years before succumbing to pneumonia, which he is suspected to have contracted from humans.
💔
There's STILL time to get her home....
Ever since Tokitae's death, there has been a renewed public outcry for Corky's retirement.
@@CoreyMillionaire2029 Yes people need to continue mounting pressure on SeaWorld
This is depression.
#teamseas#savetheorcas#savethewhales
im kinda torn my morale compass tells me its bad but idk something about it is a little off there fed they probably get decent care seeing how much money they bring in and they live longer but i don't know if animals have the abilities to remember or even care about going back also don't scream at me i said i don't know i just want to be educated by someone non biased can they remember or even care about that place or the other orcas
Free Corky!
I wish i could help but i cant i live in iraq paypal is not a thing there
FREE CORKY
Did he ever make it out of there? stupid controlling humans.
We're GONNA save her, no matter what.
She has been in captivity over 50 years!!! She would not acclimate to the wild!!
She would not be released back into her natural habitat. We are urging them to retire her to a seaside sanctuary, where she could feel waves, hear wild pods, and finally have some semblance of a natural life. Help us make this happen: support.peta.org/page/1107/action/1?locale=en-US
How will this possibly help her since she probably doesn't know how to live in the wild anymore? (still don't support captive orcas and seaworld, but sometimes I struggle to see PETA's rationale)
why cant man LEAVE ANMILES ALONE THEY DONT KNEED OUR TOXIC CARE
HUMANS DONT LIKE TO THINK ANIMALS ARE A HELL OF A LOT SMARTER AND LIVE MORE MORAL LIVES THAN THOSE WHO IS SO CALLED MADE IN GODS IMAGE WRONG ANIMALS ARE MADE IN GOD'S IMAGE WHILE MAN IS MADE IN THE LIKENESS AND WORKS OF SATAN
I want her to be freed but she won’t know how to live hunt and get her own food she would die at least she is feed here it’s not good how she’s treated but she has lived there so long she wouldn’t know what to do if she was but in the sea I hope her living conditions get better.
wait i think i visted vancover aquarium before when i was in grade 3!
Why blame SeaWorld for her capture it wasn’t even them stop saying SeaWorld did it when they actually rescued her from there!
The demand companies like sea world and marine land created caused her and many others captures … so basic in your thinking
