Jean-Michel Cousteau helped return Keiko the killer whale to the wild following 22 years of captivity. It was an expensive effort paid for with private funding. After more than four years of effort, Keiko was free but never completely free from human support. Based upon his experience, Jean-Michel says that killer whales that have spent many years in captivity cannot be completely rehabilitated and returned to the wild. These whales should be taken care of for the rest of their lives and we should focus our efforts on stopping any future captures.
