In this June 8, 2017 image made from video, Kina, a false killer whale, swims in a tank at Sea Life Park in Waimanalo, Hawaii. The former U.S. Navy research whale that has contributed to groundbreaking science for the past 30 years is again making waves after being sold to a marine amusement park in Hawaii. Animal-rights activists say Kina, a 13-foot-long (4-meter) member of the dolphin family, deserves a peaceful retirement in an ocean-based refuge, but is instead being traumatized by confinement in concrete tanks. But Kina's former Navy trainer and a longtime marine mammal researcher say no such sea sanctuaries exist, and the park is the best place for the 40-year-old toothy cetacean. (AP Photo/Caleb Jones)
