Imagine if you were violently kidnapped and ripped from your family, thrown into a small concrete room, and be forced to dance and sing so the jailers make money off of you. Imagine…..being imprisoned….for over 50 YEARS……Not one of us Humans would survive that. Tokitae is to be released from that disgusting prison and set free to swim in the Ocean waters of a sea sanctuary where she will quickly recuperate and recover and heal and be with her family and be with her own mother, who is waiting for her. All other arguments against her release are lies and manipulations from the evil selfish and manipulative people of the Miami Sea Aquarium who don’t want to lose the money they make off of her. Ban the Miami Sea Aquarium and demand that Tokitae be released and be free. Tokitae DESERVES HER FREEDOM. TOKITAE WILL BE FREE. NEVER GIVE UP. TOKITAE HAS NOT GIVEN UP AND NEITHER WILL WE.

We should be preserving and protecting their home environments for them all to thrive in the wild where they.belong

We definitely failed Tillikum and it breaks my heart that not only did he live in captivity, but died there too. When Keiko passed away, he, at least, had the opportunity to swim free in the ocean for a few years, and for me, that is a definite measure of success.
Lets all fight together to get Tokitae back in her home waters before its to late for her too. Let her be the next success story.

Since I live in WA this is especially heart wrenching for me. I just hope that she hangs on and doesn’t give up. She deserves to live life free as do all animals.

He did NOT create these creatures to live in tiny little tanks. We failed Tillikum, lets not fail Lolita. #Emptythetanks
