Orcas Are Released into the Sea of Okhotsk from the Perovsky Cape

The third group of orcas from the so-called whale jail in Russia's Far East was set free into the Sea of Okhotsk on August the 6th. The operation took five days from August the 1st until August the 6th. Greenpeace Russia was at the scene watching the release operation as an independent party. We can for sure confirm that all three orcas were released in the sea. Also we didn't find any significant problems with the operation despite not getting the full access to animals during the operation.
