I honestly don't know how she has lived this long under these conditions. All I could think is she is fighting to be reunited with her family. Sweet, strong girl 💙
As someone whose grown up in the Seattle area since the 70s as a child, I had no idea about these horrid orca captures. Who allowed that? Beyond disgusting. I feel so sorry for the orcas and their babies. Even more sorry for the people doing the capturing. No heart in them. That's what happens when you make money your prime objective in life. You lose life. You become a cold, lifeless automaton. I hope they find some redemption someday. I pray for this orca and see her home with the Lummi, where she belongs. I look forward to going out there personally to see her when she arrives. I can hear her now.
@@CleverClover2023 It’s unfathomable a company like Seaworld is allowed to do business. Pure evil. They ought to be shut down, liquidated and any leftover money go to orca conservation for what they’ve done.
@@LeDoctoer A little bit, but the empathy goes up as the consciousness and awareness goes up of the other being. Whales and dolphins not only have similar brain types to humans, but the latest scientific research has shown the emotional and social areas of the brain are larger and more highly developed than humans. It is the nature of these beings to connect, communicate and live and roam thousands of miles per year with their families. To put one in a tiny tank for profit shows an extreme lack of understanding of them and a cruel and unfeeling nature to the one imprisoning them. I can see and feel from your words you don’t pick up on communication from non-human beings. You have not spent much time around them, and for the time you have spent, you don’t listen to them. They communicate. Orcas have an amazing language and distinct dialogues among their pods. I hear them, and so do many others whose hearts are open and haven’t disconnected from the life around them. I don’t know where you got disconnected from life and had your heart cut off, but I pray someday it opens again, not for my sake but for yours. You’ve cut off the best part of yourself, for what? Money? Approval? I hope someday you rediscover your true and higher nature. God Bless ❤️
please please ladies help us all to get her home im praying so hard for all of them--if she dies on her journey, im ok with that. No more pain or abuse. Its gods call, no matter the outcome. I will pray so much. this is killing me--making me cry--but thanks for sharing
I went to Marineworld in Florida as a kid. I didnt know better, neither did my immigrant parents. I am so ashamed and disgusted... Boycotting through social media and ultimate financial ruin is the only way to shut these places down!
@@serinadelmar6012 Because I notice that a lot of these young anti-caps also have foreign last names. Moving to another country is not a right, it is a privilege. I know that because I received that honor two years ago. It does not entitle you to try to start changing things that existed before you moved there.
@@tessdurberville711 so, because people have a name that you perceive has “foreign” you also presume they are illegal immigrants? That makes absolutely no sense. I’m just moving to the country is a privilege, of course it is having also done so myself, but that has absolutely nothing to do with this video.
A call out to everyone who helped free willy. LETS DO IT AGAIN! Tell everyone you know. Send them this link today! USDA Has failed her for 52 yrs. They need to hand over their responsibilitys and NOAA needs to take over the regulations of these WILD AMIMALS who are being treated like domestic ones.
The Muse Any animal that has a name, has been hand fed, and does tricks, is domesticated. When you tame an animal, you are responsible for it for life. If I told you that your dog/cat/bird,etc. looked unhappy, you would tell me to mind my own business. All of you "dogooders" need to mind your own business.
The Muse YOU killed Keiko. You must have enjoyed it to want to do it again. Free Willy was just a movie, a Hollywood fantasy. In reality, the whale doesn't get a happy ending.
I'm disgusted in the way that America will not step in and free Lolita. All the talk and promises you make are not worth anything it is about you took action and thought of Lolita and the conditions she is living...I have no more words, just disgusting!
SeaWorld tried reuniting a mother and daughter orca after only four years. The mother showed no interest in the daughter and the daughter challenged her mother for matriarch and lost. Happy endings only happen in Hollywood.
So sad and to think her mum is still out there, can you imagine the reunion wow would be so special. How do these people sleep at night they disgust me having the authority to be able to do something about this for all those years yet choose to do nothing, this new company who have taken over have now got an opportunity to do the right thing, better late than never.
Unfortunately only an alcoholic ball team owner. Keiko had a billionaire funding his sea pen until he cheated on his wife and wound up in divorce court. He withdrew his funding and they kicked Keiko out of his sea pen. You know the rest.
Lord please give Sk’aliCh’elh-tenaut strength to make it home safe, she needs to be here with her family to heal, to get stronger and to be with her mother who is waiting for her return the family will be whole again the Lummi nation will be whole, you will be whole again.. Sk’aliCh’elh-tenaut, You are finally coming home you've been away too long, no more struggles and loneliness, we will see you again we are here for you .. the voices of the Lummi have been heard a huge endless Hy'shqe and Ahéhee (Thank you in Lummi and Navajo) to those that helped this beautiful mighty manifest creature of the sea our qw'e lh'ol' me chen (relative who live under the water) our sister of the sea to return home to her family. 🙏🙏🙏
The Miami Aquarium just announced a plan and the signing of legal agreements to have her returned to the Salish Sea within the next two years. Unfortunately, she's in very poor health and they are attempting to get her stabilized before attempting the transition
@@idletech482 thank you so much for the update. I hope she will recover quickly so that she can be reunited with her own pod. It's awful that the Orca is so near yet so far from being free.
Anywhere when people suspect animal cruelty..the animals will be put in protective custody! How come they can’t do it with this magnificent animal. Sue the bastard !!! Look at the tank, how dirty, small, withholding food ! She’s gonna die there..I know it. I hope the people who refused to let her go will die soon after her.
I love LOLITA AND HAVE IMMENSE RESPECT AND ADMIRATION FOR THESE PEOPLE. I KNOW THE STORY OF TOKITAE NOW THAT SHE HAS GONNE FROM US I M DEVASTATED. STILL HARD TO BELIEVE THAT TOKI SPIRIT
I MEAN SHE SHOULD BE ABLE TO WAIT TILL THEN HER DEATH WAS A SHOCK I VE CRIED ALL NIGHT NOW SHE IS FINALLY FREE WITH .HUGO IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE THAN EARTH. RIP MY ANGEL TOKI YOUR MEMORY WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN ❤❤😢
SORRY CORRECTING MY MISTAKE I MEAN I REALLY HAD HOPE SHE WOULD BE ABLE TO WAIT UNTIL THEY RELEASE HER INTO A SEA PEN BUT SADLY SHE GOT TOO TIRED OF SO MANY YEARS IN CAPTIVITY IN SUCH SMALL. PRISON TANK THAT SHE PASSED😢
Shame, shame, shame on this horrific, barbaric, torturous “Seaquarium”. How dare you! Release this precious Orca IMMEDIATELY & return her SAFELY to her native free, natural waters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am glad to see the Lummi Nation will not just release her into the open ocean but will give her the care she needs- after so long in an inadequate facility, it’s doubtful she could survive in the full-blown wild. I support most zoos and aquariums because they educate the public about animals and do a lot of conservation science, but the Miami Seaquarium is just horrible- not only are they abusive and neglectful to their animals, but they stole a sacred relative from these innocent people. Best of luck to them, I hope and pray that Sk'aliCh'elh-tenaut is released from her prison tank and brought back to where she rightfully belongs with her people by her side
Where were the Lummi when she was caught? Why weren't these "sacred" animals protected? Why did it take them decades to demand her release? She's been in the same park for 52 years.
Ich glaube eher das der Verein sie einschläfern wird als das sie wider freigelassen wird. Da wo das Aquarium steht ist doch auch ein Mehr. Warum versucht man den es nicht dort. Und nimmt ein schwimbares Netz wie bei Kayko. Dan kann die Reise von dort beginnen. ,,Deutsch,,
What are you going to do...just let her go come on. That's cruel too. She still will be alone. Who will care for her till she dies. Seriously. Are you .....
Her return home has been planned and arranged for many years. Here in the San Juan Islands Wa, trained, professional vets, marines biologists, and hundreds of volunteers are ready for her transition to her home waters where her family L Pod, swims close to her new sea pen. Her mother, Ocean Sun (L25) is still alive. We're ready on our end! Let the Girl come home!
This sanctuary would be run much the same way that wildlife sanctuaries are run. She would be cared for by familiar trainers, experts and trained staff. Fed a familiar diet and then moved to fresh caught fish.
How can you make a comment like that. Are you an expert? She was born out free in the Ocean. Her moms alive! Humans are cruel and unconscionable. This needs to be done now!
I honestly don't know how she has lived this long under these conditions. All I could think is she is fighting to be reunited with her family. Sweet, strong girl 💙

SeaWorld was the company who paid whale hunters to capture those babies and hide the ones who died during the kidnapping.
@@CleverClover2023 It’s unfathomable a company like Seaworld is allowed to do business. Pure evil. They ought to be shut down, liquidated and any leftover money go to orca conservation for what they’ve done.

Apparently G_d is fine with where she is.
Please push for a national investigation on her death and for the punishment of those involved.
I hope she comes home!

She is a mammal but I agree!

She could be coming home soon!
