Lolita's Care

Since the 1960s, activists have pleaded for Lolita to stop performing tricks in Miami Seaquarium. They also would like her to be relocated to an open-water pen. After the 1993 film Free Willy sparked public outrage over the reintegration of orca Keiko into the wild, conservationists hoped that Lolita would suffer a similar fate. Unfortunately, she didn't get a chance to return to the ocean.

Lolita's captors, known as the Dolphin Company, have ignored the advice of a veterinarian and continue to put her at risk. They harm her health by making her perform for tourists, and over-exerting her by putting her through head-first dives that expose her to chlorine, which causes her to lose weight and weakening her immune system. Additionally, they place her in an incredibly small tank that is less than one-and-a half times the size of her natural habitat.

In 2022, a new owner of Miami Seaquarium, who calls Lolita as a cousin of theirs, vowed to work on an arrangement with a group of Lolita supporters known as Friends of Toki, and the Lummi Tribe, to move her to eventually open water. The plan included a sanctuary pen on the west coast of Washington where she could live for the remainder of her life, receive human care, and be monitored by scientists. The sanctuary pen would be hundreds of times larger than her Miami home, and would be surrounded by the ocean not an empty concrete tank.

If the plan had been successful, Lolita (also called Tokitae or Toki) could still be alive. In the wild killer whales are extremely social animals who bond with family members until they die.
