  • HOW CRUEL IS THAT!!!?????

  • poor Lolita! none of these ppl know wat its like 4 Lolita!

  • Um, do you keep your dog in a small kennel and never let it out?? The tank is too small period. And if the orca had a chance to stay with a trainer or go with other orcas, it would go with other orcas. Killer whales are not "man's best friend", nor are they supposed to be domesticated. They are WAY to big of a creature. They wouldn't keep an elephant in that small of an enclosure. Its disgusting. I was going to go there to visit until I read about the horrors. Now it just sickens me.

  • Poor thing.

  • After nearly 12 years in captivity, he broke through the glass panes of the tank's viewing windows. The tank lost almost all water and Hugo's nose was chopped off. The park's veterinarian sewed it back on... but it was too late. Hugo had suffered extreme brain damage. Just weeks later, in March of 1980, he and Lolita were squeaking, when she leaped onto the platform and suddenly starting attacking trainers. Meanwhile, Hugo bashed his head against the concrete wall and killed himself.

  • People...leave Lolita alone!

  • How do you know that if she was given a choice she would go back to the sea? She might love it with her trainer. She might not even want to re-learn how to fish! She might like that fact that she dosent have to hunt. I never said that she dosnt deserve a bigger tank. She should, but she shouldnt be released into the sea.

  • Yes she would be sad without her trainer,they have bonds but not like she would have with a Boy-Orca in the sea. If she was given a choice...a sea pen with Orcas to talk to, a chance at having a mate and a baby.....or swimming in a concrete pool with humans that don't speak Orca and the night hours alone?? There are many celebrities working this year to get a seapen for Lolita and to help her re-learn to catch fish. Mr Hertz could still make money off her if people came to see her in the sea ...

  • Will somebody please tell me how Hugo died?

  • How do you know he dosent love lolita? That's like me saying that you don't love your pet! We don't have all the dogs in captivity. There are wild dogs out there that need to know how to hunt. She is told old to learn how to hunt again. Once she gets it, she will be to old. Maybe Lolita dosent love Mr. Hertz, but i am sure she would do anything to save her trainer. They have special bonds, and she will be so sad without her. So just LEAVE HER ALONE!!!
