World's Loneliest Orca Screams for Freedom

Miami Seaquarium forces Lolita to perform tricks and cry out loudly for the audience during its circus-style show. The sound of her anguished scream is heartbreaking to many, and a new study confirms that we are recognizing what Lolita is really communicating. Her cry expresses the heart-rending emotions of pain, suffering and loss.

Sign our alert to set her free!

Rest In Peace, Tokitae. You lived in a small tank and suffered for years, swimming in endless circles and having to perform tricks everyday for money for them, for food… you lost your family, your friend, your calves, your freedom. No more swimming in circles anymore, beautiful Tokitae… you are free in Heaven with every orca that has ever died in captivity. Swim freely now

[dianeluck]

This SICKENING DISPLAY OF CRUELTY is a shame to Florida and a tragedy for poor Lolita. Set did nothing to deserve this abuse and should be swimming in the ocean freely. END HER SUFFERING NOW!

When you learn to think like an animal, to relate to the capacity of whatever animal it is, to sense their feelings, so many of these videos appear to be horror movies. Can you imagine, for example, being trapped in a cage that is the size of a bedroom. You then are asked to perform tricks and yell so that other species can come and watch you. You are crying from loneliness and sensory deprivation. Screaming from frustration and grief. And they are laughing, cheering and buying tickets to watch this happen to you. Killer whales have WAY larger limbic systems than our own. The depth to which they feel bonding and emotion is something we can't imagine. When you start to LISTEN to and UNDERSTAND what animals are communicating, you can see a huge problem in this world. And it is up to each and every one of us to solve. DO NOT BUY TICKETS TO THESE PLACES. SPEAK OUT TO PROTECT THESE CREATURES. PROGRESS TOWARD VEGANISM AND DO NOT EAT FISH BECAUSE WE ALSO RUINED THEIR HOMES! Watch Dominion, Seaspiracy, Blackfish, and get educated. Start to listen. It is not just our

Let her go! Let her go back to Seattle to her family!

[sandyfox]

The Seaquarium should be At least, could she not have a larger place to live??? She makes her weight in money for them!!! Despicable, and so tragic that poor Lolita must live like that. SeaWorld could be exemplary and teach so much -- instead they keep sea animals captive and think only of profit.

[urobleps]

While I agree with the message that she's miserable, this point is much too anthropomorphic... It's obviously a trained trick, and the scream probably means nothing

Sounds like it's dying. #letlolitago!
