Lolita: Slave to Entertainment

[Guest guest]

Friends, have you heard of the doc film " Lolita-Slave

to Entertainment " ?

 

It's about an orca named Lolita with an amazing spirit

that has lived in captivity for the last 30+ years at

the Miami Seaquarium. She was stolen from the waters

off Puget Sound in 1970 and has been prisoner for over

30 years in an illegal and substandard tank that is

basically the size of a bathtub to an orca. The Miami

Seaquarium won't release her back into the ocean to be

with her family even though marine biologists have

been tracking her family ever since the capture and

they have offered a very detailed and well-crafted

plan for her release. Although there have been many

successful releases of orcas and dolphins, the owners

of the Miami Seaquarium won't let her go or even

release her to a sea pen because she has made them

over 160 million dollars with monotonous shows that

she has had to perform in daily to get food. The

owners have even been offered a million dollars for

this beautiful, intelligent animal to go home but they

still say no. They are literally working her to death

and when she is not working to make them generous

profits, she sits in her tank and slowly floats

looking very lonely and sad. The other 6 family

members from her pod that were captured over 3 decades

ago have died in captivity years ago. This is typical

of whales and dolphins in captivity. In the wild,

whales/dolphins can have life spans similar to humans

but in captivity, they are lucky if they make it to

their teens. It is a miracle she has survived this

long but one day they will find Lolita dead in her

tank. I pray that she will be reunited with her family

before this terrible fate becomes a reality.

 

The documentary " Lolita: Slave to Entertainment " tells

her story and spreads awareness about her

heart-breaking struggle to survive in captivity in a

miserable, small chlorinated tub. This film helps

educate people about the truth about sea park

corporations, the marine animals that are captured and

ripped from their families, and the sadness,

isolation, lack of exercise and interaction with

others of their species. I just watched the film last

night and was very saddened to learn about the

imprisonment of Lolita for over 3 decades. It was

heart wrenching to see her calling for her family from

her tank and missing her true home in the ocean.

Friends, would you be willing to help Lolita by making

a donation or buying the movie and showing it in your

community at a school, local theatre, or to family and

friends? If you can’t contribute anything monetary,

please visit the website and learn about her to help

spread awareness. Above all, the single most important

thing you can do is to boycott Miami Seaquarium and

other marine parks that keep dolphins and whales

captive and work them to death for money. The websites

are www.slavetoentertainment.com and

www.miamiseaprison.com

 

As animal-lovers and compassionate human beings, I

hope that you will consider promoting this important

message to the public. Dolphins and whales belong in

the wild with their family and not trapped and caged

for people's entertainment to make a profit. Lolita

thanks you in advance for your compassion and efforts

to help her go home to return to her family who is

waiting for her!
