The tragic death of Toki/Lolita at Miami Seaquarium a few days ago continues to reverberate around the world. While filming her for "Long Gone Wild" I will never forget the look in her eyes - so much going on there, sadness mixed with great intelligence. https://t.co/iUBeZTemIN

SAD, SAD NEWS this day: Tokitae - aka Lolita - passed away at the Miami Seaquarium. We filmed inside that rickety old stadium for "Long Gone Wild." She deserved so much better. May she rest in peace. https://t.co/4FbBNnOOyS

https://t.co/1hsu7iBYDr Compelling statement on cetacean captivity from the Jane Goodall Institute. Recent reports from Miami Seaquarium tell of dolphins being starved to improve performance...all the while Lolita remains in her tiny concrete tank after more than 50 years.

NAKAI - a magnificent 21-year-old orca - has died at SeaWorld San Diego less than a year after the death of another SW/SD orca: 6-year-old AMAYA. Both were born and bred in captivity; both lived their short lives in concrete tanks subjected to chronic stress.

Bill introduced to Congress: The Strengthening Welfare in Marine Settings (SWIMS) Act would amend the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 to prohibit the taking, importation or exportation of orcas and other whales for the purpose of public display. Here's to swift passage!

Fascinating feature story in "The Atlantic" about the efforts of Steven Wise and his team at Nonhuman Rights Project to free Happy the elephant. If successful in the courts this spring can orcas be far behind? https://t.co/Ue5jccuUsJ

THREE MORE DEATHS AT MIAMI SEAQUARIUM. How many more animals need to die here before this "third world" park is shut down...and Lolita, a magnificent orca, is finally released to a seaside sanctuary? She has been held captive for 50+ years and counting. Enough!
