The California Captive Orca Welfare and Safety Act, which was introduced to the senate by Assemblyman Richard Bloom last year, has suffered a set-back. It is now unlikely to go to a full vote in 2015, and will instead be delayed until 2016. If introduced, the bill would ban performance-based entertainment for the 10 killer whales in California — all of them at SeaWorld — end captive orca breeding and the import and export of genetic materials, and prohibit the import and export of any orca in the state. If enacted, the bill would also mandate retirement of the 10 whales to enclosed sea pens in the ocean.
