    Fuck them.

    Seize marineland and all their assets. Use the funds to transport them back to the wild. If not enough $ then run a fund to help and govt cover whatever is needed to finish the job.

      They can never be released in the wild.

        Maybe a ocean area blocked off and they get retrained and released.

        Edit seems they can

          They tried this with the whale from Free Willy, and the whale failed to adapt to the wild before dying.

              Love how your source doesn’t actually say the orca released only lived a little while before dying

                It shows hope for the future. It would be bleaker if we did not keep trying. The alternative is life in a cement jail.

                  Does it?

                  It shows dying early deaths. Is that better than a life in a (better) captive place?

              They tried, in real life, with the animal that was cast as the character in the movie.
