Tokitae, a wild-born Southern Resident that fell victim to the most violent orca capture operation in U.S. history, has remained in North America's smallest orca tank at Miami Seaquarium, since 1970. The only way such gross misuse could ever come to a stop, is by lifting the sugar-coated veil and exposing the false portrayal of happiness Miami Seaquarium constantly promotes, and telling Tokitae's true story. Nothing about her life, past or present, is happy. Nearly 100 orca were rounded up on Au

A timeline of Tokitae's capture and the efforts to bring her home

It’s heartbreaking that Tokitae had to live over 50 years in a tank that was too small and illegal. She and Hugo deserved a better life. Even after Toki’s death, dolphins still live at Miami Seaquarium. The demolition of the Whale Bowl is a reason to celebrate, but we must not forget the others. Ted Griffin shows no remorse—Toki meant nothing to him. Still, it’s bittersweet to see trainers providing her enrichment—she truly loved wetsuits. #tokitae #toki #orca #killerwhale #lolita #whalelover #m

Last Thursday we all heard about Tokitae and a new agreement to get her home. Before she can leave the tank at the MiamiSeaquarium, Federal Regulatory Agencies in the USA have to approve her return to the Salish Sea. This might take from 2 months, to 2 years. We believe Tokitae can return to the ocean like Keiko did. "Keiko proved that he could return to the ocean and fend for himself... So when you think about what Keiko did, he ended up in a much, much better place than he came from. We learne

FacebookKeiko: The Untold Story

Lolita, also known as Tokitae, is the last surviving orca of the infamous Penn Cove captures of 1970. A Southern Resident orca from L-pod, Lolita has been living in a substandard tank (one that violates Animal Welfare Act standards) at Miami Seaquarium for over 50 years. She has not seen a fellow orca since 1980, when her tankmate Hugo died, following self-inflicted wounds.

In March of this year, Miami Seaquarium announced a plan to retire Lolita (Tokitae), who has spent over 5 decades at the facility. Although some articles about this have been been published recently, there is not much new information. While we are cautiously hopeful that Lolita may finally have a chance to retire, we are also thinking of the other dolphins held captive at Miami Seaquarium- and at the other 31 dolphinariums owned by The Dolphin Company. This week, reports have also surfaced that

Don’t trust the captivity industry to tell the truth. On August 15, 2023, The Miami Seaquarium released a video of Tokitae and her trainer stated that “She is better than ever right now, and she’s way more active than she has been in the past.” Tokitae’s owners promised she would be going to a sanctuary “soon.” She was DEAD three days later. Sick whales can still perform, and often mask illness. Trainers are often silenced or pressured to protect the companies they work for–sometimes without eve

Southern resident orca Tokitae died from old age, multiple chronic illnesses

For decades, Tokitae was forced to live in the smallest (and shallowest) orca tank in North America and made to perform for onlookers. Stolen from the wild as a young orca, she spent over five decades suffering at the hands of Miami Seaquarium. For Tokitae, we must make Miami Seaquarium shudder its doors.
