If only people were considered this important…
There would be no wars…
Doos…
Awww, very sweet. Any news on the 80K missing kids sex-trafficked westward by the Kiev government?
TNW (PBUH) is THE most important WHALE…
Little care or concern is shown towards Him!
If marine scientists are involved in this, why did they bring them to yet another aquarium and not to a whale sanctuary?
My god how much more suffering can we inflict on animals
Release them into the oceans where they can swim freely. This is not rescue if you limit them in small tanks, its captivity.
even beluga whales get out of this trash heap
Cuoldn´t have they been released in their natural habitat?
What a bunch of doodoo!
Can we please save the ukrainian people first?
As an animal lover I feel conflicted when I see the money and resources spent on these beautiful animals and I wonder why that kind of effort isn't spent on evacuating children from "certain places". I'm so happy for these beautiful creatures but these thoughts creep in
