@orcalegacy 🖋 HELP SHARE LOLITA'S STORY #Repost @orcalegacy #ahasave @ahasave —— I think this picture is a perfect example of the 'education' that goes around in marine entertainment parks... Today I listened to another podcast episode by @sentientplanetpodcast which is dedicated to Tokitae (Some may know her as Lolita). I highly recommend listening to it! You'll hear a member of the Lummi nation speak about her essay about Tokitae, her visit to Miami Seaquarium and the horrific conditions the poor orca is held in. She also tells her tribal story about human connection to the orcas. Tokitae is the last surviving stolen Southern Resident And she is not forgotten. The fight for her freedom continues every single day. Share her story, take action. Let's help Sk'aliCh'elh-tenaut see the ocean again. . . . . . #tokitae #freetokitae #freelolita #captivitykills #dontbuyaticket #orca #killerwhale #stolenfreedom #southernresidentorcas #salishsea (at Miami Seaquarium) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO5MLF2B82N/?igshid=hhtyt2gxxsnf

#MiamiSeaquarium, owned by Parques Reunidos, plans to reopen on November 6, 2020. Lolita has remained the only captive orca at this facility for decades. Help take action for Lolita and the Seaquarium's other captives- find calls to action and a list of the 30+ other theme parks owned by Parques Reunidos by going to the link in our bio. ▶ @dolphin_project The southern resident orca, whom the Washington state-based nation calls Sk’aliCh’elh-tenaut, was taken from waters off Penn Cove in Lummi territory when she was four years old. The whale arrived at the Miami Seaquarium on 24 September 1970, where she is known as Lolita. The orca is now 54 – out-surviving a dozen other southern residents that were captured at the same time as she was. According to Orca Network, five southern residents died during the capture five decades ago, while seven were sold to marine parks around the world, all of which died in captivity except Sk’aliCh’elh-tenaut. In November 2011 Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF), PETA, and three individuals filed a lawsuit against the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to end the exclusion of Lolita from the Endangered Species Act (ESA) of the Pacific Northwest's Southern Resident orcas. NMFS reviewed ALDF’s joint petition, along with the thousands of comments submitted by the public and found the petition merited. In February 2015, the NOAA announced it would issue a rule to include Lolita in the endangered species list. Previous to this, although the Orca population that she was taken from is listed as endangered, as a captive animal, Lolita was exempted from this classification. This change does not impact on her captivity at Miami Seaquarium.
