In a heartbreaking incident that has come to light, a 35-year-old orca named Kshamenk has been kept in an insanely small tank at Argentina's Mundo Marino aquarium for more than three decades. Now activists are calling for Kshamenk's release, highlighting the cruel conditions he has been kept in. Orcas, a type of killer whales, live in pods and are highly social animals that need to constantly interact with others. According to reports, Kshamenk’s only tank mate died in 2000. This means that the orca has been living in isolation for 24 years. It has been claimed that the orca spends time staring at the tank’s gate for 24 hours a day. According to reports, conservation organisation UrgentSeas has been advocating for Kshamenk to be moved to a more suitable location where he can join other members of his species. Mother Orca Ends Her Tour of Grief!
