In this May 13, 2017 photo, an activist holds a sign during a protest outside Sea Life Park in Waimanalo, Hawaii. A 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 false killer whale, deserves a peaceful retirement in an ocean-based refuge, but is instead being traumatized by confinement in concrete tanks at Sea Life Park. 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)
