- Lolita, an orca whale held captive for more than a half-century, died Friday at the Miami Seaquarium as caregivers prepared to move her from the theme park in the near future. The Seaquarium posted a statement from the nonprofit group Friends of Toki on social media that Lolita - also known as Tokitae, or Toki - started exhibiting serious signs of discomfort over the past two days. Seaquarium and Friends of Toki medical team members began treating her immediately and aggressively, but the 57-year-old orca died from an apparent renal condition, the statement said.

Humans who held this majestic orca in captivity need to live in their own bathtub for 50 years to get an idea of what they did to her.🤬🤬
57 years this beautiful Orca was confined in a circus tank. Unreal.
And sickening.
These places need closing down
100%!!!
Cruelty beyond belief
I agree.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to this beautiful fish during this difficult time.
You're having a laugh! Humor.
@documax123 there's nothing FUNNY HERE! What are you thinking??
@saint013 an Orca is not a "fish." What were YOU thinking? Please answer.
@@documax123 what happan.
@billyboy4797 I don't know what happan.
Thank the angels of mercy for bringing Tokitae home to what now will be the total freedom that was stolen from her. RIP precious. I’m so sorry we failed you and we’re not able to reunite you with your surviving family members.
Orcas belong in the ocean. Period.
Discomfort since 53 jears. Want to be free!r.i.p.
💔
Captivity kills ☹️
The US really needs to catch up with the rest of the developed world when it comes to their animal cruelty legislation. I still find it appalling that places like Seaquarium, which is little more than a glorified circus housing some of the most intelligent, social creatures on the planet in utterly needless isolated captivity, is still allowed to exist in the 21st century as anything other than a cautionary warning.
I hope this wasnt an insurance job!! Poor lolita ive supported your release and am heartbroken for you!! RIP ANGEL YOUR NOBODYS SLAVE NOW!! #FREETHECAPTIVEORCAS #RIPLOLITA #BOYCOTTMIAMISEAQUARIUM #BOYCOTTSEAWORLD #SANCTUARIESNOTFISHTANKS

Won't live in pods nor eat bugs. Sounds like a Petrushka Sishkaba Emporium
PSYCHOSIS VARIANTS:
A common method in Brainwashing is Inducing psychosis. Information, Drugs and Environment strongly contribute to this process being successful or not.
Once under psychosis, the victim will not search for help, because he doesn’t realize he is suffering.
The only way to cure “Psyops Psychosis” is absence of Electronic devices, while undergoing heavy psychotherapeutic therapy.
Expect a special on sushi at the Seaquariam
That orca had a better life than I will ever have. 50 years is the average life span for Killer whales in the wild.
Her mother is 90 years old still living the ocean FREE in Puget Sounds in Washington State.
How many whales were spare by keeping her in captivity?
none.
