Miami Seaquarium gets eviction notice several months after death of Lolita the orca

The Miami Seaquarium, which was home to the beloved orca Lolita, is being evicted from its waterfront location in Miami.
Miami-Dade County officials served a lease termination notice Thursday to the park's owner, The Dolphin Company.
The old-Florida style tourist attraction opened in 1955. Lolita lived there for more than 50 years until her death last August at age 57. Miami-Dade County cited a “long and troubling history of violations” in a lease termination notice.
The company has until April 21 to vacate the property. It wasn't immediately known what will happen to the marine life living at the park.

That place has been horrible for animals for way too damn long. I hope reputable sanctuaries will reach out and be able to take in the animals that can't be safely returned to the wild.

Let the Whales be free, in all Aquariums!!!
This large mammals are not meant to be trapped in a very small space. These animals swim 40 miles in one day, I know that they are steady driven to insanely.
The largest males are 50 to 80 years old.
We need to fight for their release and let them go back to the wild.

Obviously.. they never planned to relocate her. They’d rather keep the money.
