Killing Keiko: A Cautionary Tale of One Whale

Mark A. Simmons,
Executive Vice President, Ocean Embassy, Inc. and Managing Partner, OERCA (Present), Director of the Keiko Animal Behavior Team on the Keiko Release Project (Past)

Millions of Free Willy movie enthusiasts have been led to believe that Keiko’s return to the wild was a triumph. After the syndication of the film Blackfish, Keiko’s story once again became a rallying cry for anti-zoo proponents calling for the release of other killer whales in zoological care. But according to author Mark Simmons, director of the Keiko Animal Behavior Team on the Keiko Release Project, the whale’s riveting story is one of unnecessary tragedy. This lecture, Killing Keiko: A Cautionary Tale of One Whale, unveils the shocking evolution and collapse of the whale’s rehabilitation, covering his final trek across the North Atlantic to his heart-wrenching death in Norway. Simmons discusses the most influential factors, covering theories behind the rehabilitation plan, behavioral excesses and deficits, the organizations role in the outcome and the concept of captivity and the modern zoo. In life, Keiko was undoubtedly the most famous whale in history. In death, he became the most famous case of animal abuse the world cannot yet fathom. Simmons illuminates the true story of Keiko’s journey and shows why it is more important now than ever before.
