I saw Kiska in person and it was the most depressing thing I had ever seen. I will never go back to Marineland.
They probably think she is old, there is no way they do it because they love her.
Come on home Lolita, the PNW is waiting for you! <3
Leave those animals in their habitat
Human are pure evil captured her keep
Her and others in captivity
I wish those did that to her be in a cage let see how u will fell
I. D. I. O. T S
Finally!!! Best news in the world. Now after this…… Sea world please empty your tanks!!!
Freedom or discard? How will she adapt after 50 years? that doesn't look cool, good luck Lolita. ๐ข
As a colts fan, this makes me happy to see
It will be rejected and will die sad and alone just like keiko. Just tell white people to leave nature alone and stop abducting animals for white peoples pleasure and profits.
All I see is white people tryna convince me itโs all good. Red flag much?
Why do they look sick when they are talking about her?
so now she's sick and doesn't make profit for the humans anymore she gets dumbed ๐ซ ๐คฎ
STOP supporting Seaworld !!!!!! ๐ก๐ก๐ก
THESE AMUSEMENT PARK SHOULD BE OUTLAWED!!!!
Using animals like this must stop. So sad looking at the tank she was in for 50 yrs and the tricks she had to complete daily in order to eat/survive in that tank.
Free all the animals from farm,too.
This sign of animal advocates are taking over
Aren't you CRAZY? After 50 years in captivity, do you think she can survive in the wild? You just dumped her because she was too old for the show. What nasty people you are!
Memories of Keiko from my childhoodโฆ and Free Willy
Sentenced her to death. Great. She doesn't even do well when they are late feeding her… She gets so stressed so easily. This is an awful idea.
Why do these people think that they have the right to keep one of God's Creations ๐ค as a pet .they are the most Wicked people on earth ๐.
Finally ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
Jim looks drunk. I hope he isn't bulls*itting all of us. Tokitae needs to get out of that tank; it's fkn horrific. And no matter what happens, the actions of her captors are today and will always be unforgivable.
I hope things turn out all right. What comes to mind is that scene from Shawshank Redemption where Brooks didnt fit in the outside world because he spent his whole life in prison and had become institutionalized.
