Didn’t get advance notice of this but happened onto it on our way to the Alki Art Fair: Marchers demonstrating in support of freedom for Lolita (Tokitae), the last Puget Sound-captured orca in captivity. They rallied at Luna (Anchor) Park and then marched along Alki Avenue. This was one of 16 awareness-raising events around the world today. Tokitae remains at the Miami Seaquarium, where she’s been for almost a half-century.
Too bad this wasn’t advertised, I would have attended. It’s time Lolita was allowed to retire and spend her remaining days free, and with her family.
Thank you. I will notify the organizer to add this site to her list. You can still take action for Tokitae/Lolita by asking Friends & Family to sign boycott pledge letters to Palace Entertainment/Parques Reunidos. This greedy multi-national corporation owns Miami Seaquarium among FIVE CAPTIVE CETACEAN facilities, among their 60 theme parks worldwide! Please consider the sample letter and all information at my webpage: http://www.origamiwhalesproject.org/take-action-for-lolita
We have the world wide event every year. Look up Until Lolita is Home on Facebook to get details we would love more supporters in the future! Glad you happened to be there and helped bring awareness. The show is over, she needs to come home.
