Positive reinforcement can speed up the process and help correct any behavioral issues. Lolita's care For years activists have been lobbying for the release of Lolita from performing tricks at Miami Seaquarium and relocation to an open sea pen. Following the 1993 film Free Willy stirred public outrage over orca Keiko's reintegration into the wild, activists and marine biologists hoped that Lolita could suffer a similar fate. Unfortunately, she never got the chance to return to sea. The captors of Lolita – the Dolphin Company – have ignored the advice of a veterinary doctor and continue to put her in danger. They are a danger to her health by requiring her to perform for tourists. They over-exert her with high-speed circles and head-first diving, expose her to chlorine and cause her to lose weight. They also place her in a tank one-and-a-half times smaller her natural habitat. In 2022, the new owner of Miami Seaquarium, who calls Lolita an aunt of theirs, vowed to work on a plan with a group of Lolita supporters known as Friends of Toki, and the Lummi Tribe, to move her to open water eventually. The plan included a sanctuary pen in Washington's westcoast, where she could spend the remaining days and receive human care and be monitored by scientists. The sanctuary pen was to be hundreds of times bigger than her Miami house and was surrounded by ocean, but not concrete tanks. If the plan had been implemented, Lolita (also known as Tokitae or Toki) could be alive today. In the wild, killers whales are social animals and bond with their family members until death. Lolita has been a captive at Seaquarium for over 40 years. Many activists across the country have demanded Lolita's departure from Seaquarium and her eventual release into the wild. They include Ric O'Barry, who was a former Flipper trainer, Empty The Tanks, and Orca Network. Lolita's Training Our Macaws for sale are intelligent and playful, bringing excitement to your home.
