“Marine mammal care team and experts did everything possible to support Kiska’s comfort and will mourn her loss,” local media quoted the theme park as saying. Canadian non-profit group Animal Justice, which advocates for animal rights, called for a probe into MarineLand’s treatment of the killer whale.group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals described Kiska as the “world’s loneliest orca” whose life was marked by “tragedy after tragedy” after all five of her calves died before they were seven years old.
