I will NEVER buy a ticket to the Miami Seaquarium.

I will NEVER buy a ticket to the Miami Seaquarium.

The Issue

The Miami Seaquarium is the oldest and most dilapidated marine mammal park in existence.  More marine mammal deaths have happened there in the last 20 years than anywhere else.  A lot of the deaths are suicides by their marine mammals because of depression.  Lolita, an orca living there in an illegal sized tank will be next on the list if we can't get this place shut down or convice them to let her go.  If for some reason the owner of the Seaquarium, Aurthur Hertz decides to let her retire or the place is shut down Lolita will be able to retire to where she was caught off the coast of Washington State and live in a sea pen where she will be taught to hunt and dive again.  Best of all she will be reunited with her pod, including her mother.  If she decides to not want to learn to hunt on her own, she will be able to live out her remaining years (which could be up to 50 or more) in the sea pen where she will be fed and taken care of while still being able to interact with her family.  PLEASE NEVER SUPPORT THE MIAMI SEAQUARIUM OR ANY OF IT'S SPONSORS AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO DO THE SAME.

Shelby ProiePetition StarterI'm a crazy student at Nova South Eastern University studying environmental science, marine science, and psychology. I'm very passionate about freeing Lolita, the Orca that has been on display at the Miami SeaPrison for close to 40 years. I have started a weekly beach cleanup in my town of Surfside and am determined to make this world a better place.
