I PROMISE YOU, if they return her to her pacific home, her pod would recognize her, and she would recognize them. They would definitely take care of her if she were to be COMPLETELY released.
I promise you, if they return her to her pacific home, her pod would NOT recognize her. If they do recognize her, they will NOT accept her. The whale will remain totally dependent on humans and will hang out by the shore or by the closest harbor, where it will interact with humans only, as humans will provide it with its only social life. If the whale gets lucky, it will die of old age by the shores and harbor. If the whale is unlucky, it will get accidentally ran over by a boat (because it will live near the harbor/ shore) and die a long painful death. The situation is f***ed no matter what way we look at it. Even if, by some miracle, the orca is accepted by its original pod or by a new pod, there is no shot whatsoever that the whale is going to be able to keep up with the wild whales. Also, its probably going to struggle eating because its used to getting its food hand fed to it. its just so messed up, i wish people would stop going to see whales at these types of places so that the sea world like places stop doing this to poor whales.
If you were in charge, you would condemn this whale to an extremely sad, lonely, and painful death. We have seen whales get released before. We have even seen whales get released, find a local pod, and decide not to travel with the pod. To these whales, human beings are their pod. They are gonig to stay where they were released and wait where all humans are for its food and to socialize. its incredibly sad because it will get a whole let less human interaction in the wild than it would in its enclosure
@@Hello-ig1pxshe is the only whale that should be released. Letting kieko go was a stunt to show it cant be done. Her pod is wailing for her and it's been shown they call to each other. They survive by staying together for life. Why would anyone think kieko could make it on his own. He was not young to be taken in by another pod. Returning to her family is the only way.
I can’t believe she’s still there. Her freedom has been fought for since 1993!! She will do fine in the ocean. She will THRIVE!! Get her into the ocean near her pod, monitor her/them for a while, then let her go back home!!! She didn’t forget her pod’s language.. she didn’t forget any of it!! They didn’t forget HER! She’s ready to go!!! Tokitea is also named “Lolita” She was taken in 1970, this girl is decades old, but that doesn’t mean she can’t live decades longer in the ocean..where she belongs. She was taken at 6 years old, not 4. And her pod is L25. That pod has females in it that are approximately 100 years old!! She was stolen from Puget Sound, Washington, along with several other family members. They all died in that hellhole!! Lolita is the only survivor. These people know exactly where her pod is and that the pod will remember her and she will remember them.. She should’ve been released DECADES AGO!! Set her free❤❤❤❤❤ Edit: and what “expert” said she isn’t likely to survive release? They’re so full of it. Keiko died 5 years after release, but no one knew what pod he came from. There is no reason AT ALL to believe this girl wouldn’t do better in the ocean, with her pod, than she’s doing in a tank!! Let her go you greedy bastards. Second edit.

@@poleruwhat a dumb thing to say. Look up Lolita the orca and scroll past the recent news.. you’ll see it goes a bit deeper than TH-cam comments smh Try not to be so ignorant, if you can. Next time you have a question, just look it up ..instead of doing whatever it was that you attempted to do here..
@@poleruwhat an ignorant thing to say. there are plenty of activist groups that advocate for the end of captivity for entertainment. I'm confident the only reason that this animal may ever be freed is because of the pressure activists have put on their facility. hell, there's a guy being sued right now for whistleblowing and exposing the horrendous conditions at the Seaquarium. so ya, people are doing what they can and not just typing comments....
And now she's dead, 57 years in captivity, her only way out from that miserable place was through passing away. I haven't gone to a zoo or aquarium since I was a kid. Since a kid, I've known this is wrong.
Don’t buy tickets to Sea aquariums or Zoos all these intelligent majestic animals need to be return to their family’s in the Salish Sea or place in a sea sanctuary. Too late to Save Tokitae, but Corky still lives in San Diego’s sea world after 50 years in captivity and her family awaits her return to the Salish Sea. Keep up the good fight. Free Corky.
So tragic Lolita was taken as a calf half a century ago & never got to swim in freely in the ocean again humanity stole her life completely failed, such intelligent majestic creature 😥🐬💔
Tears from my eyes are rolling down. People are cruel. Shame I'm a so called "human". 57 years passed by... think about this release and leave her all alone...instead of being negative let us hope that she will be swimming in the real ocean and NOT in a small concrete swimming pool which she survived for 50 some years.The ONE and ONLY.
Her hearing her own cries in a little pool, she deserves freedom. Ir someone is gonna send a private seals will have to go in and rescue her...seriously
in Canary Island we have a huge problem 3 orcas died in the last 18 months! Used as clowns 3 shows per day no day off! please help us to stop this shame! Loro Parque Tenerife is a nightmare
Only concern is he said get her out of there so they can fix up the stadium area. Wouldn’t trust these guys that own huge multimillion parks based off of cheap conditions for animals
Whatever dude! The will to live and feel freedom once again out weighs your stupidity! She deserves to be allowed to live free with WHATEVER time she left! Ask a person who got convicted falsely and spent 30 yrs in a cage.. they would rather die free in a week then live another day in that cage!! She made the humans multi millions. Lets not keep being selfish eh
Thank you for reporting on this. The Miami Seaquarium should be shut down. It is sick that it is still open despite years of reports of abuse, neglect and death. Shame on humans and shame on the city of Miami.
WRONG WRONG ON ALL LEVELS, SHOULD NEVER BE IN CAPTIVETY RELEASE THIS BEAUTIFUL WHALE.. .DO THE RIGHT THING 57 YRS LOST AND ALL FOR MONEY AND ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES. TOOK 57 YRS TO DECIDE...? SHE WAS READY YRS AGO....WHAT THEY SAY iS RUBBISH. 😢
Even other living beings suffer from mental illness due to lack of freedom because of humans At my home, one love bird suffers from depression and has no feathers.. athinte tholli thanne kannum.. when consulted with the vet .. she told they themselves pluck the feathers due to irritation
Shoulda done this much sooner. I fear for her though. The stress an animal that old and enclosed in the same place for over 40 years. I’d be surprised if she lived a year after being transferred
That pool is way too small for an oven animal. This is a damn shame that ant animal should be treated this way. They made their money and have keep her in horrid conditions.
Since when men are owner of the sea animals putting them in captivity making their banks accounts bigger This makes me sick everything is about money and reputation
Sea pen set her free and maybe than she can go back into the ocean she has been in this abusive sea show industry for years poor orca and all the sealife in these horrible sea parks swimming in pools
When asked what has it cost you ! Half a million 🤔 next question how much has she made you tens of millions 🙏🏻 I can only hope they get her out but NEVER put her back . Set her free she’s paid the ultimate price over and over 😔🙏🏻
I agree. Its like no one needs a circus with animals anymore and same with these seaquariams. If they are injured and cant live in the wild ok. But we as humans need to let the wild be wild and quit thinking they are there to entertain us.
It's so sad bcas these animals willfully show their beauty in the wild! Even knowing they & their families have been hunted and captured by humans, to cage them for forced entertainment for profit. Sad that freedom shows were never enough for humans. I hope she's released in my lifetime. Sooner rather than later.
I think we have to start putting signs in walking to Miami Seaquarium and letting them know we have not forgotten about Lolita she needs to be freed she needs to have a better outcome then Kiska the lonely or cat died in human Camp Bow by herself in a small tank
Where is the Urgency where is the action where is the revealing of exactly what the steps are making sure that she does make it because Kiska died Kiska didn’t make it Kiska died up in Canada alone will that be her fee we need to ask them sooner than later
As a lifelong fifth generation South Floridian this makes me sick to my stomach makes me even sicker, knowing I’m taking my children to the Sequarium many times over the years I feel horrible and guilty now for having ever patronize the establishment. I sincerely hope our community will rally together to save this orca and the porpoise that is now also trapped in a condemned tank.
The problem with that is that she needs to be taught how to hunt first or she wouldn’t last long. But maybe since her family does remember her, they will make sure she is well taken care of. Her mother is believed to still be alive at 95 years old.
@@ih1917 of course but if she can thrive with her family that would be better. Her family has already mourned her once. Her dying soon after would hurt them again.
Knowing how smart, emotional & self aware orcas are makes this even more sad....just free her man.
💔🙏 it is SAD.
They supposedly are waiting for a permit to release her but I see she is still there
😩💧
They can't just put a captive whale back in the wild it would kill the whale
SO SAD that she died in that terrible little tank. A captive, stolen from her family and the Salish Sea of Washington. Humankind failed her!
Shame on Miami Seaquarium. They are dead wrong for what they did. May Lolita RIP 😭💔
I PROMISE YOU, if they return her to her pacific home, her pod would recognize her, and she would recognize them. They would definitely take care of her if she were to be COMPLETELY released.

She has passed. They neglected her and only took action once exposed. It was too late.

You should have released her earlier before torturing it more than 50yrs. Brainless abusers. Wait for God's punishment! A heartless humans!
They are not humans...
@@uniqueme1976 ..then they have no souls at all or they are evil's children lol!
He could die in the wild but at least Lolita will taste freedom that will be her greatest happiness she could ever experience in her existence..
She’s being transferred to an Ocean sanctuary in Washington before her release where she’ll learn to live in the wild again
I am so heartbroken 💔 because it won't happened anymore, soooo sad😭😭😭
Free her! She lost hugo! She lost her baby. She deserves to live her retirement in the open water.
She was ready and she was still left to die in that tank! That should infuriate everyone.
Now it’s too late 😭 but she’s finally FREE RIP
Rest in Peace Toki aka Lolita, she passed away yesterday 08/18/2023 :(
