Zookeepers claim they are stimulating a ‘horny’ orca to prevent him from breeding with his mother

It is claimed that a horny Orca should be warned by zoos to prevent the breeding with her mother.

Marineland Antibes closed in January – later in the later hours of this year, a French law that prohibits whales in the sea zoo – the French government and animal rights activists have not yet agreed on a reality plan for two -killer whales.

Meanwhile, 24 -year -old Orca Wikie and 11 -year -old son Keijo were kept in the pools at the facility and trainers continue to provide maintenance.

The activist group Tidebreakers recently revealed the peak images of two trainers standing next to Keijo while lying upside down on the edge of the pool.

In the video, one instructor holds a pallet, the other warns hello when curling in water.

In a adjacent pool, Wikie faces her son.

Orcas is social animals and is considered harmful to keep them permanently separate.

In a statement to the BBC News, Marineland executives defended their actions as Keijo reached puberty.

They said: “In order to avoid solving relatives with his mother, at the same time, Marineland decided to encourage Keijo sexually to prevent them from fighting and injury. [to relieve him of his] tensions.

“Although it is magnificent, it is natural and completely painless for these animals.”

The French Ministry of Ecology, who had to approve the relying plan for Orcas, said Marineland informed them about the situation and that Keijo was warned once a month.

They also claimed that a veterinarian was consulted.

However, Valerie Greene, a member of Tidebreakers, who spent ten years in SeaWorld Orlando, said to the BBC: “As an old killer whale coach, I have never seen this behavior for anything other than trying the semen collection to be used in artificial insemination.”

Marineland rejected the alleged motive.
