The Last of the Whales Have Been Freed From Russia’s Notorious “Whale Jail”— But Where Are They Going?

Celebrities Joined the Campaign

Pamela Anderson and Leonardo DiCaprio created petitions that campaigned for the release of the whales from the enclosures. They used their strong social media followings and influence in society to educate people on the issue at hand. Pamela Anderson is an active member of the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) while Leonardo DiCaprio has traveled to Russia to speak on behalf of other wildlife matters, giving them the credibility to represent the issue.
