Captive orcas have attacked and even killed their own trainers, as well as park guests. On the other hand, wild orcas have never harmed a human. Lolita is the last surviving orca captured from the Southern Resident Pods. At least 50 other orcas, from the same community, have died in captivity or from the captures.

It does not matter whether you think she is used to the tank or well cared for either anyway. By going to MSQ you are merely stating that it was okay that she was captured and placed there. Not to mention she is alone. Holding an orca alone is probably the worst kind of abuse for them, because they have extremely strong family bonds and social structures. Being together is the most important thing in an orca's world.
by going to MSQ and paying them, you're only saying it's okay that she is alone, and it is not REGARDLESS of how long it has been. YOU KNOW how strongly orcas feel for their families, yet you support this? What? So you don't think she can be freed, that's fine. Don't support the movement. But you don't have to go into the MSQ and support the deprivatin of an animal that belongs in the ocean (because that's where she has adapted to live). Lolita is still wild, of course. she isn't domesticated.
People are so ignorant and naive... SHE IS FINE... if she werent she would be ill or dead and she has been neither... are u an animal psychic??? ( no such thing ) then u dont know her thoughts or what she feels. She would refuse to perform had she any problems,,, i would like a larger tank - that is something to protest about.... but saying shes miserable is just ridiculous.
@Reezonoticz ABSOLUTELY. How much does it piss you off any annoy you when on every video depicting MSQ or Lolita theres always a crap load of FREE HERRR!1!1!!!!! comments. I cant stand it! People apply their thoughts and feelings to the animal and shove it down both hers and our throats. Just because she has a small tank doesnt mean shes abused
Yes it does. Keeping her in a tank of such size deprives her of a natural ability that is among one of the most important in any cetaceans life. That is traveling long distances through a changing environment and also diving. This is cruel and it is abuse, to deprive a creature of something it has evolved to do every day of it's life. It is like depriving you of walking upright, like humans should.
Lolita, like all killer whales, has a body adapted to feeling water pressure of deep depths. It is also built for long distance swimming, changing temperature, and navigation. She cannot engage in virtually anything she would do in the wild. As with other captive animals, Lolita may find it very frustrating that she can't use her abilities to their full capacity. Animals get joy out of doing what they do naturally. It is unlikely that performing fully satisfies her this way.
@flargmuffin92 Actually that's exactly how she is abused dumby. You think you aren't applying your feelings or thoughts onto Lolita? No? Then why is Lolita happy in that tank? Why is it okay for her to be there? Because you FEEL that Lolita can be happy in the tank, you FEEL the trainers love is enough? Imagine living in a tiny room with NOTHING, not even a kleenex box and all the walls and floors were made of mirrors. Above you, screaming children and loud music. That's abuse.
@Reezonoticz Ur ignorant u fucking idiot she HAS TO perform FOR FOOD!! damn ur naive and ignorant. EVERY WHALE OR DOLPHIN IN CAPTIVITY IS MISERABLE! they bang their heads against the walls, and float aimlessly in circles oppossed to the thousands of miles they would swim everyday in the wild, they never even come up to the surface unless there is food. Did you know there have been only reported attacks of dolphins and whales in captivity NEVER in the wild
@Reezonoticz Lol wow, whos the loser here? Probably the unintelligent kid who piped in on a subject they know nothing about and has now resorted to name calling. To add to Gianna, not only do whales bang their heads against the walls it's happened at the MSQ twice, Hugo, Toki's cousin shared that tank with her and one time he smashed his head into an observation window until it broke, vets had to sew his nose back on. The next time he banged his head till he died.
flargmuffin92 Are you stupid, ya kekio washed up on shore but at least he got a chance at least they tryied. I no its not easy and expensive, But lolita deserves it she has earnd the money and the right to be free her family is waiting for her. And if you cant do that for her then show a lil compation and do what every one including lolita and give her the tank and space she needs!!!!!
Ya go like Keiko, go ahead and release her, and have her wash up on shore! She isnt abused, shes treated like any other orca, shes so accustomed to that tank and know it as her home for so long, a sudden move could kill her, learn a bit before condemning parks and captivity.
Get that whale a bigger tank
