Fuck them.
Seize marineland and all their assets. Use the funds to transport them back to the wild. If not enough $ then run a fund to help and govt cover whatever is needed to finish the job.
They can never be released in the wild.
Maybe a ocean area blocked off and they get retrained and released.
Edit seems they can

They tried this with the whale from Free Willy, and the whale failed to adapt to the wild before dying.
That was a Hollywood movie.

They tried, in real life, with the animal that was cast as the character in the movie.
Love how your source doesn't actually say the orca released only lived a little while before dying

It shows hope for the future. It would be bleaker if we did not keep trying. The alternative is life in a cement jail.
Does it?
It shows dying early deaths. Is that better than a life in a (better) captive place?
Definitely, trial and error for a solution is better than giving up. The long term as a solution would provide forever after that point.
Some deaths would provide for no deaths in the future.
Just my plebe thoughts is all.
And as fair as that view is, I wouldn't do "trial and error involving the likelihood of death" on humans, or for me, most (if not all) living creatures.
So that's gonna be a controversial sell, and using "save the dolphins" that leave out crucial info isnt going to be it..
I agree it’s untenable.
There would be many peops that agree to take that risk on.
Even though, it would be a no go right from the start due to funding and as you mentioned harm to others.
The thought I had is far beyond my pay grade so to speak but would not a few deaths on either side be worth it to save many many more in the future?
No, it's not ethical.
It's unacceptable to do that to humans in a 'modern Western's' clinical ethics setting.
I agrue it's still unethical to do to animals..
