Poor Aurora, may she finally, finally rest in peace. Also, RIP to her daughter Qila and her calf, Tiqa.
Too many tragedies. Born in captivity, studied and probed. Put out to amuse................. IMHO, it's about time it ended. These magnificent creatures do not deserve this fate. Yes, they die in the wild, but at least they die in freedom.
The story goes on to say, "We learned so much about their species." How they communicate and all that............ one day, we will be the ones captured and put on display for some other species' amusement and curiosity.

Quote:
“Qila’s death is extremely sad, but the fact she spent 21 years in a concrete pool instead of being free in the open ocean is tragic,” said Vancouver Humane Society spokesperson Peter Fricker in a release.
Fricker said whales and dolphins suffer in captivity, as they are highly intelligent and social animals, which have evolved to thrive in a specific environment that cannot be replicated in captivity.
