Caged: Morgan with her trainer (Mirror)

British newspaper The Sunday People and the Born Freed foundation have launched a campaign to try to free an orca found off the Dutch coast four years ago and now kept in a Spanish amusement park.

The orca, dubbed Morgan, was found in the Wadden Sea in a severely weakened state in 2010 and taken to the Dolfinarium to recover. The centre opposed efforts to release her into the wild and she was taken to the Loro Parque on Tenerife instead.

On May 14, the appeal court in The Hague will rule on whether the export licence was lawful. It is the latest in a long line of legal challenges to the Dutch government's decision to move the orca to Spain. The appeal court ruling has been delayed several times.

Export

The export licence for Morgan was granted on the grounds the orca would be used for educational purposes and lower courts have said the licence was correctly applied.

Morgan's supporters argue she is constantly attacked by other orcas at the Loro Parque centre and that she has been taught to perform tricks, which breaks the terms of the licence.

The Sunday People has now launched a fund-raising campaign, together with the Born Free foundation, to try to have Morgan moved.

'The 15ft-long animal, who used to swim up to 100 miles a day in the wild, spends long spells just floating ­lethargically in her pool,' the paper said. 'She also chews on the concrete sides due to apparent boredom and stress, leading to her front teeth becoming dangerously worn to the gums.'

Kryon Q&A

Question: Dear Kryon: I was wondering about the way I feel about whales and dolphins. I've had a feeling that I have to go to them sometime, but I don't know how or what I'm to do when I get there. Please help.

Question: Dear Kryon: I'm a Turkish/Islam woman of 57. I live in Ankara and work for the European Commission's project in Turkey. I've read almost all of the Kryon books twice, and I'm planning to read them once more. My question is about the whales. Why do they commit mass suicide? What is the reason for this very sad event? Is it a kind of protest against Human Beings?

Answer: Dear ones, we've channelled many times about the whales of this planet. In review, they're the living portions of an actual grid-system! They contain the "history of Earth" within their beings, and they're sacred for that reason. They coordinate and cooperate with the crystalline grid of your planet, which is currently being rewritten (see Kryon channelling on the Website: "What's Next?" December 8, 2002). Doesn't it strike you odd that these mammals are the only ones protected against hunting by more than 90 percent of the countries of Earth... even the places without oceans? Do you think that this is an accident or a coincidence? No. It's cellular information for all humanity to protect the whales and keep them safe. Dolphins are their cousins and support group, and they play a role in the whales' development. This is why you're so attracted to them.

Whales do not commit mass suicide. They have no consciousness to allow for this, and it has never happened. Instead, you see whales often beaching themselves and then being saved by Humans, only to re-beach themselves and die. This takes place mostly on the coastlines of your continents, and often on those areas of topography that "stick out," such as a peninsula or isthmus. Your Cape Cod is a good example in America, and is also a place where this has recently happened (up to 47 whales on a beach).

The reason is that whales, dolphins, amphibians, birds, and even insects all navigate to their breeding ground or migration areas each year via the magnetic grid of the planet! Each group follows the ley lines of magnetic influence, almost as if they had a built-in compass. In fact, they actually do!

The magnetic grid of this planet has changed so much, so quickly, as we told you it would in 1989, that there hasn't been time for the pods of whales to adjust with time to these changes. Instead, many simply follow the old magnetic lines of migration, only to find themselves on a beach instead of the open ocean, as the old magnetic direction used to take them. They're confused, and they simply line up and try again, just as they have for years. These things are temporary, and as tragic as you might see them, it's all part of "pruning" the system, and the calves will go around in the future, establishing new instinctive information for the new whales regarding the grid changes. This information has even now been validated this year (2003) by your scientists.
