Shut down the Miami Seaquarium in the name of Lolita!!!


Shut down the Miami Seaquarium in the name of Lolita!!!
The Issue
Miami Seaquarium has been abusing marine life for years, from starving the animals until they do dumb tricks, to sexually assaulting whales and dolphins to sell their offspring for more money they don't need.
Many have died from constant abuse, from dolphins getting injured in accidents, to even humans getting attacked by marine life that decided to take a stand against being abused.
But they're down to their final straw now.
Their long captive prisoner they held for 53 years in a tank the equivalent to a bathtub for us, Lolita the world's loneliest orca, passed away on August, 18th, 2023 due to her deteriorating health from being held in such an unnatural enclosure.
Lolita was captured from her true ocean home around the 1970s when humans used ships, bombs, and giant nets to round up her pod, some of her pod members drowned right then and there. Including her, 7 orcas were taken away from that pod to be placed in aquariums to make money for greedy humans.
Her mother was spotted last year before she died, which means she outlived her own daughter. No mother should have to go through that..
She would be forced to perform tricks for massive audiences with her tank mate Hugo, who had committed suicide by ramming his head into the concrete walls of their tank.
Since then, Lolita had never had another orca tank mate, she was housed with stressed dolphins that would attack her.
After backlash from so many animal activists, she almost had a chance to be free, she was set to be released to a seaside sanctuary within the next year. But we were too late...
Many whales and dolphins have died because of this human greed, Lolita only adds to the body count.
How many more of these majestic sea creatures have to die before these aquatic hellholes are shut down?????
If you're as saddened about the passing of this beloved orca as I am, then do the right thing. Sign this petition.
