France enacts a ban on the breeding of killer whales and dolphins in captivity, responding to animal rights campaigners' calls to end shows involving marine animals. The government also prohibits the captivity of all whales, dolphins, and porpoises, with the exception of orcas and bottlenose dolphins. The ban aims to improve animal welfare and foster a greater understanding of these species. It represents a significant step in France's approach to marine mammal captivity.
