people - Do not visit dolphin or whale shows, Sarah Connor

The musician Sarah Connor advocates for the rights of Orcas and has reportedly received much support for it. The 44-year-old, in collaboration with the organization Peta, had demanded from tourism company Tui to remove marine parks with captive Orcas from their holiday offerings. A spokesperson for the tourism company declined to comment.

"It's outdated," Connor told the dpa. "We know much more about these animals now than we did 10 or 20 years ago. Orcas are highly intelligent animals that live in complex family structures. Led by a matriarch, an experienced mother or grandmother, they pass on their knowledge, and the sons often stay with their mothers for life."

Connor, who hails from Delmenhorst and lives in Berlin, has already encountered whales many times in the wild. "They swim up to 200 kilometers a day. In captivity, they vegetate in an aquarium in front of themselves, display pathological behaviors, grieve, become depressed or aggressive, and often pose a danger to trainers."

The singer's appeal states: "Do not visit whale or dolphin shows. Regardless of the counter-arguments of the parks, it is animal cruelty."

  1. Sarah Connor, a renowned musician from Delmenhorst now residing in Berlin, Germany, has gained support for her cause of protecting Orcas, a decision echoed by TUI after their collaboration with Peta.
  2. During her visits to Berlin, Connor often reflects on her encounters with Orcas in their natural habitat, contrasting their 200-kilometer daily swims with their confinement in marine parks in Germany.
  3. TUI's refusal to comment on the demand to remove marine parks with captive Orcas from their holiday offerings has not deterred Connor, who is collaborating with fellow advocates to raise awareness about the mistreatment of Killer Whales in captivity.
  4. People from around Germany have celebrated Sarah Connor's efforts in championing the rights of Orcas, an inspiration for advocates everywhere in Germany, who strive to protect intellectual animals like the Killer Whale from captivity and mistreatment.
