Art Letter Campaign for Tokitae/Lolita/Sk’aliCh’elh-tenaut
Art can heal, and ART can be a powerful method of getting your point across.
March 6, 2022 UPDATE from Peggy Oki, Origami Whales Project
On Mar. 3, 2022 MS Leisure, a subsidiary of The Dolphin Company, has completed acquisition of Miami Seaquarium, and under restriction in new license with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Tokitae/Lolita and a companion white-sided dolphin Lii will no longer be exhibited.
Your voice matters! Now, let’s take the next crucial step with an even more powerful form of communication to convince decision-makers.
Personalized letters sent by mail are the most influential, and so I am calling on all friends of Tokitae / Lolita / Sk’ali to let your artistic (and “non-artist”) side flow with a polite message to Eduardo Albor, CEO of The Dolphin Company (soon to be owner of Miami Seaquarium).
Please join us in urging Mr. Albor to send in immediate independent veterinary care and to allow for Tokitae’s release to a sea sanctuary in her home waters.*
Children & adults of all ages are invited to express your love & wishes for Tokitae/Lolita/Ska’li . We will collect your message of love for Tokitae/Lolita/Ska’li to Eduardo Albor, CEO of The Dolphin Company.
Must be be received by 03/17/22!
Please find downloadable instructions including talking points in our Google Doc to share with friends & family far and wide. Let’s make a polite heartfelt impression on Mr. Albor to allow Tokitae/Lolita/Ska’li to return to a sea sanctuary in her home waters.
