Product Information
The true story of Keiko, the world's most famous killer whale and his release to Icelandic waters has gone untold until now. Millions of Free Willy movie enthusiasts have been led to believe that Keiko's return to the wild was a triumph, just like the Hollywood version. But according to author Mark Simmons, director of the Keiko Animal Behavior Team on the Keiko Release Project, the whale's riveting story is one of unnecessary tragedy. Killing Keiko unveils the shocking evolution and collapse of the whale's rehabilitation, covering his final trek across the North Atlantic to his heart-wrenching death in Norway. In life, Keiko was undoubtedly the most famous whale in history. In death, he became the most famous case of animal abuse the world could not yet fathom.

Reviews
I've not heard of such a story since "Born Free" when Elsa the lioness was returned to the wild after being raised by Joy Adamson. Imagine trying to release a whale back to the ocean-what a monumental task! In "Killing Keiko" you'll learn about the struggle and all the challenges facing everyone involved as they attempted to teach Keiko to live, and thrive, in the wild." Jack Hanna, Director Emeritus, Columbus Zoo Host, "Jack Hanna's Into the Wild" and "Wild Countdown", Among the misinformation and cacophony regarding the public display and release of whales and dolphins, animal behavior and marine mammal expert, Mark Simmons, provides acompassionate and deeply challenging account of the failed experiment to release a killer whale named Keiko. In Killing Keiko , Mr. Simmons sets the record straight and details why the unfortunate star of Free Willy was not ultimately a release candidate and why human agendas led to his death. This engaging, well-written and timely book is a sobering reminder that our human compassion for animals is not always well-conceived and that we need to better understand what our actions actually mean for such animals as opposed to what they mean for ourselves. A must-read for every animal lover out there. Gregory D. Bossart, V.M.D., Ph.D., Diplomate, European College of Zoological Medicine (Wildlife Population Health), Senior Vice President of Animal Health, Research and Conservation, Georgia Aquarium, I've not heard of such a story since "Born Free" when Elsa the lioness was returned to the wild after being raised by Joy Adamson.
