On June 7, the court in Primorye fined the company "White Kit" by 28.2 million rubles, finding it guilty of violating the rules of fishing in connection with the capture of the killer whales and beluga, which are contained in the so -called "whale prison". The court will consider a similar case against Afalin on June 24.
- The "whale prison" became known in October 2018. According to Russian Greenpeace, the Kitolovs wanted to sell the wanders and belugs to the Chinese oceanariums. In Russia, dolphins cannot be obtained for commercial purposes, but animals were caught by cultural and educational quota. The cost of one killer whale in dolphinaries and oceanariums in China is from 1 to 15 million dollars.
- Now in the "whale prison" in the Bay of the Middle Primorsky Territory there are 10 braids and 87 belugas. Mostly cubs. At the end of April, a consultation of Rosrybolovy allowed to let them out. President of Russia Vladimir Putin instructed to free marine mammals.
- The Minister of Natural Resources and Ecology of Russia Dmitry Kobylkin said that the wandations and Belukh would be released from the "whale prison" in the Bay of the Middle Primorsky Territory in July-August of this year.
- French researcher Jean-Michel Coustea believes that animals need to be released near the place of their capture. The release of marine mammals in the Bay of the Middle carries a number of risks for both whales and residents of Primorye, he claims.
