Why Are Killer Whales Dying in Subic?
Closure of Subic marine park urged
ENVIRONMENTALISTS in the country say they are rushing to save the two remaining false killer whales kept in a marine park in Subic Bay, along with dolphins and sea lions, after another juvenile whale used for the park's shows died last week.
The Earth Island Institute-Philippines and the Philippine Animal Welfare Society have sought the closure of the popular Ocean Adventure park partly operated by the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority, a government entity.
The death of Hook, a 13-year-old female false killer whale, on July 8 has revived the campaign against the use of marine mammals for amusement shows, they said.
Hook is the third whale to die in captivity at the Ocean Adventure Park since it opened in 2001.
