73% Informative
Marineland Antibes , located near Cannes in the French Riviera , says it will shut on 5 January following new animal welfare laws.
Marineland currently keeps two killer whales - Wikie , 23 , and her 11-year-old son Keijo .
Several destinations for the whales have been proposed but there is disagreement on where they should go and what should happen to them.
Most experts agree that releasing the two whales into the wild would not be suitable.
More than 4,000 animals will be moved out of Marineland , which was founded in 1970 .
It is the latest step in a campaign targeting marine zoos that has gained momentum over the last 15 years .
Pamela Anderson called for the closure of the marine zoo in 2017 and held a protest outside its entrance.
