Activists voice frustrations at Miami Seaquarium after death of killer whale Lolita

Miami Seaquarium opened its doors Sunday, as animal rights activists and supporters gathered outside to voice frustrations following the death of the attraction’s beloved killer whale, Lolita. 

“Lolita was contained in a bath tub pool for her entire life, “ screamed a protestor. 

As people drove past the gates of the Seaquarium, another activist said, “you have a chance to turn around now. Don’t pay for enslavement.”

They voiced their concerns for how Lolita was treated. The beloved orca died on Friday. 

“It’s 2023, we have a choice to not support animal cruelty. This is disgraceful,” said Stephanie Lane. 

“It’s sad how she passed away. We were all expecting her release. All of us who really cared about her,” another protester added. 

There were plans to relocate Lolita to her native waters, but activists said it never came. 

“It’s truly sad, indeed. What is really sad is everyone who could have stepped in since 1974 when the Endangered Species Act was signed,” a protester told NBC6. “That is when someone should have stepped up and said we need to get this animal back into the wild when she was still young and healthy. Now, it’s a little too late.” 

Saturday night, Friends of Toki Executive Director Charles Vinick told NBC 6 that he was with the orca on her final days. 

“She had the will to live,” said Vinick. 

Miami Seaquarium believes a renal condition may have caused her death.

UK: Animal rights campaigners demand milk is called ‘bovine mammary secretions’ in row with standards officials.

Animal rights campaigners demand milk is called ‘bovine mammary secretions’ in row with standards officials

It follows DEFRA guidance advising non-dairy brands to clarify terms on labels 

Trading Standards Officials should brand milk ‘bovine mammary secretions’ if they want to be honest about labelling in their overzealous crackdown on non-dairy products, the world’s largest animal rights organisation has said. 

Guidance commissioned by the Department for Environmental, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) recommended that non-dairy brands avoid using the terms ‘yoghurt-style’ or ‘cheddar-type’, as well as describing almond and oat milk as ‘mylk’ to avoid confusing customers. 

WAV Comment – I think we are intelligent enough to be able to not get too confused and clearly distinguish that Almond and Oat milk does not come from abused cows !!!

But now the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) have recommended the Whitehall department go one further in striving for accuracy and brand dairy milk as ‘bovine mammary secretions’.

VIRGINIA KEY, FLA. (WSVN) – A devastated community came together to hold a moving memorial for Lolita, the beloved killer whale who called Miami Seaquarium home for over half a century.

After more than half a century of living in captivity, the orca, also known as Toki, died on Friday, Miami Seaquarium officials said.

Animal rights advocates who spoke with 7News did not hold back when reacting to the marine mammal’s passing.

“She was stolen as a baby from her family when she was meant to be living in the wild,” said one advocate.

Police told a local outlet that 90% of the minks had been recovered in five days.

Thousands of minks ran wild in western Wisconsin after animal rights activists held a late-night heist to bust them out of a fur farm.
