'Prison' imprisoned eels and whales off Russia

Cramped cages cram more than 100 whales and whales in Russian waters recorded when unmanned aircraft fly over the area.

A total of 11 grouper and 90 white whales were locked in cramped cages in Pacific waters near the city of Nakhodka in southeastern Russia, IFL Science reported on November 12. The activists for animals call the cage "whale prison" and suspect animals are illegally caged.

According to Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC), the charity for wildlife conservation in the UK, this is the largest number of marine animals kept in captivity. They can be captured and kept in cages for sale to ocean theme parks in China for a small price. China has more than 60 marine parks and at least 12 other parks are under construction, according to the Telegraph.

Prosecutors are considering the case to find out whether whales are used for scientific or educational purposes as confirmed by the four companies involved. Lawyers are also examining the conditions for capturing mammalian marine animals. Greenpeace in Russia describes this environment as "torture".

The size of the barn and the number of gobies and white whales also indicate that the tank may contain young animals, which is completely contrary to the regulations even for scientific and educational purposes. Experts are concerned that captivity not only damages detained animals but also the future of the whole species.

"If we continue to catch them at this rate, we risk losing the entire population of the eel. The number of eels that are allowed to catch is 13 per year, but no one has counted the number killed in the The catch, " said Oganes Targulyan, Greenpeace coordinator.
