Eager to unload two orcas, French government learns more about Nova Scotia proposal

  • French government officials met with a U.S.-based group proposing to relocate France's last two captive orcas to a coastal refuge in Nova Scotia but made no final decision.
  • French officials are also considering moving the orcas to Spain's Loro Parque zoo located in the Canary Islands.
  • France's minister for ecological transition said a final decision on the orcas' future will be made by the end of March, with the government seeking guarantees on animal welfare and legal matters.
  • The Whale Sanctuary Project proposed a 40-hectare seaside pen near Wine Harbour, Nova Scotia, but has not started construction and still requires permits from the Canadian government.
