| Lolita begging for food |
My friend, Norma, sent me this article from the Miami Herald.
Seaquarium for Sale?
In it it says that the activists' lawsuit against Seaquarium had been dismissed. The next day they printed a correction: The lawsuit against Seaquarium has NOT been dismissed by a judge and is ongoing.
Just so you don't miss the line where Arthur Hertz, the owner of the Miami
Seaquarium, thumbs his nose at the decades-long struggle to free Lolita, a wild-caught Orca, the Herald quotes him as saying, "the activists’ objections
'are still going
on,' but their demands that visitors boycott the Seaquarium has had no
effect.
'The public doesn’t care.'"
I took these pictures that day. As you can see, there's not much of an audience even though it included two school buses full of middle school kids. What did this experience teach them? Animal abuse, as long as people enjoy watching and are willing to pay for the privilege, is okay? Imagine what they would have learned if our inhumanity hadn't been on full display.

Her total focus is food, and she does what she has to do for a reward.
