A French court has handed down its verdict on two orcas still living in captivity in the Marineland of Antibes: Wikie and Keijo will not be transferred to another park before the end of an investigation into their living conditions. This follows the government’s refusal for the orcas to be sold to a park in Japan. Marineland has since announced its permanent closure as of January 5th over financial difficulties which means that the future of the two orcas as well as the 4,000 other marine animals in the park remains uncertain.
