Why this petition matters

Please help and sign petition to save Lolita...51 years ago she was taken from her family and has now been circling in a small pool. Even though she can't go back to the wild but i want to get her to a sanctuary.. please help me fight and sign For anyone who wants to know about this whale - The past weekend is marked 51 years since humans have kidnapped Lolita – a lonely killer whale trapped in the Miami Aquarium – from her ocean home off the coast of Washington, traumatically separating her from her family. That’s why on August 7, along with a crowd of PETA supporters protesting against Lolita’s continued suffering, the body painted by the killer whale fell into a tiny bathtub in downtown Miami. The spectacular sight reminded passers-by that Lolita has spent over five decades in the smallest killer whale tank in the world– an experience similar to chaining a person to a bath for 50 years. Despite overwhelming evidence that killer whales suffer immensely in cramped aquariums, the Miami Marine Aquarium in Florida and the Marine land Antibes in France still contain these social, intelligent and sensitive animals. Did you know that Lolita did not have any contact with another killer whale since 1980, when her cellmate Hugo died after hitting her head against a wall several times?
