The Dutch judge announced on Thursday that Morgan the killer whale will be staying at Loro Parque as the decision made to move Morgan to Loro Parque was not unlawful, and also acknowledged that all the proper legal steps had been taken to move her to Tenerife. Morgan, who is constantly scratched, bitten and raked by her fellow tank mates at Loro Parque, is therefore deemed to spend the rest of her life in captivity, rather than being given the chance to be rehabilitated back into the wild. It is unsure whether her fight will continue in Spanish courts or not.
