Jean-Michel Cousteau: SeaWorld should set captive orcas free into the wild

The oceanographic explorer and son of Jacques Cousteau has indirectly challenged embattled marine park's claims that no orca has survived release

Oceanographic explorer Jean-Michel Cousteau has called on SeaWorld to release its captive orcas.

Cousteau's intervention comes just one month after the embattled theme park company announced it would stop its program of orca breeding in captivity, but would not completely release the animals.
