Free Morgan Foundation

The Free Morgan Foundation is a non-profit charity that advocates the release of Morgan, a female orca held at Loro Parque in Tenerife, Canary Islands.

[1][2][3] The foundation is made up of a number of independent international experts representing numerous orca research and education organisations, including Orcalab, Orca Network, Orca Research Trust, Centre for Whale Research, and Project SeaWolf Coastal Protection.

[4] The main aim of the foundation is to allow for the release of Morgan.

Morgan was moved to Loro Parque, in Tenerife, Canary Islands, in November 2011 after a Dutch court ruled she could be relocated.

The Foundation states that Morgan is "bullied and attacked by the other orca on a regular basis" and that Loro Parque is breaching "Morgan’s CITES transport permit, which is exclusively for research purposes".
