17:53, ON MARCH 2, 2019
The first 100 thousand signatures with the requirement to release killer whales and white whales from "whale prison" in Primorye are transferred to Presidential Administration Vladimir Putina, reported in Greenpeace Russia.
"In only two months the petition Greenpeace of Russia was signed by more than 120 thousand people. Greenpeace offices in Austria, Germany, Poland and other countries also organized the collection of signatures for the release of killer whales and Beluga whales. In total on various petition platforms more than one million signatures are collected" - it is said in the statement on the website of the organization.
There it is noted that despite an order of the leader of the country "to determine the future fate of cetaceans" till March 1, "while the animals are in the enclosures of the bay Srednaya, it is impossible to speak about a victory".
"We have to be convinced that killer whales will undergo rehabilitation with assistance of independent experts and they will be let out there where they were illegally caught - in waters of the Sea of Okhotsk. The Greenpeace is ready to help with rehabilitation and release of marine mammals" - said the organization.
Earlier News.ru wrote that Leonardo DiCaprio appealed to admirers to support the petition published on the website Change.org about release of animals. In the document it is said that "killer whales should be let out to the habitat, natural to them", and "white whales need to be transferred to responsible persons who will feed them, will carry out their rehabilitation and will release to the native habitat when they are ready to it".
The Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio, actress Pamela Anderson and the son of the famous oceanographer Jacques-Yves Cousteau Jean-Michel earlier asked Vladimir Putin to help free the animals." [https://echo.msk.ru/news/2381293-echo.html?utm_source=yxnews&utm_medium=desktop]
