| [00:06.77]Nylon material was placed under the Orc's body for the trip. [00:12.56]Holes had been cut for his nose, tail and fins. [00:17.45]A big mechanical arm lifted him into a special container filled with cold seawater. [00:24.97]This travel box measured eight-and.one-half-meters. [00:29.49]A truck carried Keiko and his box to a nearby airport. [00:34.43]From there, an American Air Force plane flew him to Iceland. [00:39.86]Until earlier this month, Keiko lived in the floating cage in Klettsvik Bay. [00:46.58]Animal experts watched him closely as he learned skills he would need to live free in the ocean. [00:54.36]Keiko still needs to develop more Orc skills. [01:01.68]For example, the bay is full of fish. [01:05.18]Keiko hunts and kills fish, as he should. [01:09.51]But he still is providing himself with only about half the food he needs to support his five-ton body. [01:17.82]Humans give him the rest of his food. [01:20.69]And sometimes he acts as though he were still performing tricks for the public in an amusement park: [01:27.64]He brings fish that he has killed to his human keepers. [01:32.13]Some experts say Keiko never can live complete free in the ocean. [01:39.63]They say he is too old to learn all he needs to know. [01:45.06]One official of a sea-park organization says that putting Keiko in the open ocean would be "a death sentence." [01:53.82]But the president of the Ocean Futures Society says [01:58.31]the whale has been able to learn and do everything his keepers have asked. [02:03.90]Jean-Michel Cousteau says Keiko could be released into the open ocean later this year. [02:11.68]Mister Cousteau also says this will happen only if Keiko continues to improve his skills [02:19.39]and other conditions seem right. [02:22.55]Ocean Futures will continue to watch over Keiko--- even if he is never able to leave the bay. [02:31.64]He is living in Ocean water with other ocean creatures. [02:36.29]So even if the barriers remain around the bay, [02:40.37]Keiko is experiencing the most normal Orc life he has known in twenty years. [02:46.32]Activists in several parts of the United States are working to free other Orcs. [02:46.39]For example, some activists demonstrated about ten months ago at a sea park in the southern city of Miami, Florida. [02:55.90]They were demanding that an Orc named Lolita stop performing in the park. [03:01.91]They urged that she be returned to life in the sea, just, as Keiko has been. [03:07.84]The Sea Park has refused to let Lolita return to the ocean. [03:13.09]Some animal experts support the presence of Orcs in parks, if they are well treated. [03:21.58]They say the animals' needs are provided for and their health guarded. [03:20.58]They say the whales do not suffer the dangers of living in the ocean. [03:25.91]And the Orcs are happy in their relations with human beings. [03:30.25]But animal rights activists point to the fact that Orcs can swim as many as one hundred kilometers a day. |
