Lolita protest: A success!
Posted May 16, 2010 at 4:46 pm by Ian Byington
Protesters collected Saturday down near the marina to raise a hollar and awareness that it's time for Lolita to be freed.
In case you didn’t get it – there’s an orca named Lolita who was captured in 1970 from Penn Cove (off Whidbey Island) and has been held in the Miami Seaquarium ever since.
The time is now....
It’s time for her to come home to the resident pod here in the San Juans, where she belongs.
Here’s the writeup of the more than forty cities (including us!) who held actions around the world this weekend. And here’s the NBC/Miami accounting of the worldwide call for her release.
And here’s the science behind the campaign, from Howie & Susan at Orca Network. It’ll give you ideas about what you can do.
