Former James Bond star Sir Roger Moore has spoken out following an incident on Monday which saw a captive orca named Morgan lying motionless on a concrete slab at an aquarium in Tenerife, seen by some as a suicide attempt.

Moore addressed the imprisonment of these animals in a statement to PETA, saying 'How much longer must highly intelligent and self-aware individuals like Morgan suffer before we understand that other species are not on this Earth for our amusement?'.
