The Animal Protection Service has checked the conditions of Kiska’s stay 160 times since January 2020. Animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) described Kiska as “the world’s loneliest killer whale” whose life was marked by “tragedy after tragedy” after all five of her cubs died before the age of seven .
