Draw My Life: Listen to Lolita, the Orca, Tell Her Story

Lolita, the Orca, narrated her story about being ripped from her family in the ocean as a young calf, and held captive in the world’s tiniest tank for over 50 years.

If Lolita could tell you her tragic story from beginning to end, it would look a little something like this.

Her name is Tokitae, given to her by her people. Lolita was her prison/stage name. She will always be in my heart. I LOVE YOU TOKI.

rest in peace precious baby lolita. you can go home now.

Here in Canada we have a law that we can’t keep orcas or other sea mammals in captivity. After all the animals die off in MarineLand in Ontario, they will permanently close, because they are not allowed to capture any more orcas, dolphins and other creatures. I am grateful for a animal friendly country! ☺️

Edit: This sound a lot like SeaWorld. #SeaWorldOfHurt

Sad but so true. Why can't they see that using these amazing creatures in the name of money is so cruel and harmful, not to mention cruel? This is absolutely sickening but it's exactly what Seaworld does all the time😥

Don’t cry, Lolita. There is some good news. The aquarium has finally agreed to let you go and send you to a sanctuary where you’ll be free again.

It is a real heartbreak and it’s a sad story for Lolita as she deserved to be in the sea sanctuary instead of being alone in the pool tank.

This is harrowing. My heart goes out to Lolita and the other trapped mammals. What happened to Hugo was awful. The people who marked this video with a thumbs down need to wake up. Humans have so much to answer for.

They should be in the ocean. Free. Poor things.

[bkrulic]

50 years!!!! That is some bullshit! Shame on the Miami sea aquarium. Lolita has served her time for your greedy selves. It's time to free-lolita! How sad

[karencarbone]

Such a sad story! People know this and still allow this. Humans can be horrible.😔😪💗❤

[catkirby]

I want them to release Lolita right now! Poor Orca doesn't deserve this!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[bodhi]

BOYCOTTING these places is the most powerful weapon we have. Let's teach the respect for animals to our kids just starting to avoid taking them to watch these shows where wildlife is exploited for money. Awareness and compassion for life is the real power of mankind❤

[LordTabby]

Here again because Lolita is finally going home ❤️❤️

[anonymousorcalover]

Her name is Tokitae. Lolita is her stage name.
And Tokitae had a "few" calves according to an article on her without Hugo in 1981. None of them were live births

[maevelabossiere]

Poor Lolita! She should have stayed with her pod and never been captured! Some humans are heartless and terrible, but some want to help animals and not hurt them! SEAWORLD SUCKS!

Don't visit marine parks like Miami Seaquarium. Instead, visit recreational areas like Biscayne National Park. You can see animals in their natural habitat; with thousands of acres of ocean.

We can’t take orcas for shows or something please keep these orcas alone and let them live their life and please don’t let ANY animal suffer.. #Stopanimaltesting 💔

[lizzystar]

I’m so excited that she will finally go free! Ur on ur way home sweet girl!! I hope with everything that u are able to be reunited with your mother that is still alive and still swims in the waters that you will be heading home to ❤

[_williams.bowlcut.slays_]

I Can't watch this without crying... Very sad and very true sadly... 😢😭😢

[zuriland]

It’s a good thing I saw orcas out in the wild on a ocean tour before on a boat, I gotta say there amazing creatures out in the free ocean
