Only orca I've ever seen in real life. When I was just 7 back in October 1999, my family went down from Wisconsin to Miami and we went to the Seaquarium with a cousin. Saw Lolita perform twice that day, and I've never forgotten seeing her. Still have old photos of her and that day. I was too young to realize how tiny her tank was or the protests wishing her released. I was just caught up in having a dream come true of seeing an orca. Haven't seen another live orca ever since.
My only orca experience was going to see Keiko several times when he was being rehabilitated at the Oregon Coast Aquarium! Even though I was 11 when he came to Newport, I can still remember his amazing transformation. I'm glad I was exposed at a young age to the truth of aquatic parks!!
@@darthstarkiller1912 several times actually. My next goal is to go see the J pod up in the Peugeot Sound of Washington. I want to see Lolita's family. 🥺😕
i saw a video posted three years ago where there was a plan made by a marinebiologist and I'd hoped that meant they could and have implemented it.. but seeing her still in florida is horrible and.. hopeless. Edit: I saw another one from last month saying that she's not performing anymore but no one knows if she's going to get moved
She is not geriatric! Her mother is in her 90s and still swimming wild. Lolita is suffering from decades of inadequate space. Orcas swim about a hundred miles a day. They dive down deep for long periods of time, they can protect themselves from the sun, she can do non of these things. Let her go!
PLEASE DO NOT VISIT OR GIVE ANY MONEY TO THE MIAMI SeaAQUARIUM. FREE LOLITA!!!!!!!! You have kidnapped a living being from her family. You have no right to "own" Lolita. FREE LOLITA!!!! Mr. Hertz you are a terrible human being. FREE LOLITA!!!!!
Can Miami Seaquarium find a donor to pay for her to retire to a sea sanctuary? I don't know if there's a sea sanctuary available - if not can some kind individuals make this happen? Apparently she's been in this small tank for 50 years.
I watched the official released video from Miami Seaquarium and was immediately irate. The trainers are talking under umbrellas to block the hot sun rays, but Lolita doesn't get any shade? Just let her go to a sanctuary so she doesn't end up in the landfill like Hugo did after he committed suicide. 🥺😭💔
Wtf!! I thought that they didn't have Orcas in captivity anymore? And in my hometown? This is pathetic. I have a 6 yr old and my girl always ask me "why u never come to the zoo or seaquarium with us"? This is why!
I'm so ashamed of being Humen where we think this is OK she is so humble I think se has done so well due to fresh sea water because she is next to ocean
The idea that we take a wild animal out of their natural habitat and make them perform tricks and stunts for our entertainment is absolutely and utterly disgusting. That animal is not subject to our entertainment, and poor and ill proper housing. That animal needs to be taking care of and then released. If even possible due to the long entended captivity, if shes able to be released.
Just do away with the whole show already. I've been when it was actually a good show. Now, it's just a shell of the old show and plus it sucks for the whales. Turn it into a theme park with no whales already.
Miami Seaquarium should've free Lolita when she was healthy & in good condition long time ago. I wish they would free her once her health is being restored.
She's now officially going home. They're training her to swim into a sling harness for when she's eventually taken back to Washington's Puget Sound. Plans are underway to get her sea pen ready for her to live in near where the L pod swims through regularly, including her mom Ocean Sun.

@@ink_pink_octopus YOU GOT TO SEE KEIKO?! I am so jealous of you right now.

Rescue. Rehabilitate. Release.
Anything else is a Crime

They have been fighting for 10 years to free this whale. Set her free
She wouldn’t survive in the wild.
Alguém aqui Brasil?
Sim. O que eles estão falando ? Você entende ?

How is this still a thing??
We’re still holding whales in prisons?
They abuse the poor animals.
Seaquarium has the smallest tank I’ve ever seen they needa release her
@@Leviathan-mj8gi I wasn’t meaning like in he ocean like atleast put her in like a good aquarium like CMA or sum
Get Tokitae home ASAP.
Free not slave for us
Cruel to keep this genius of animals 🔒 up
Other Dolphins 🐬 don’t seem to mind captivity
Orcas we all know definitely don’t like
O que eles estão falando ?
I saw the livestream on FB and I was FLOORED at how the trainers get shade in form of umbrellas but not the animals... what the hell

This is beyond disgusting. Extreme aninal abuse.
Shame on the aquarium
she is sick from years of isolation and living in a prison.. let her at least be in a sanctuary in her waning years.
She died today kidney failure😭😭
Poor Lolita!
