On August 18, 2023, Tokitae, the orca held captive at Miami Seaquarium, tragically passed away before she could return home to the Salish Sea. Her death was unexpected and a huge blow to everyone rooting for her. For decades and against all the odds, Tokitae survived in cruel captivity while being forced to perform for tourists. Up until her dying day, Miami Seaquarium failed her.
Miami-Dade County has committed to shut down Miami Seaquarium on April 21, but the Dolphin Company (owners of the Miami Seaquarium) is pushing back and refusing its eviction.
Send an email to Eduardo Albor, CEO of the Dolphin Company, and urge him to shutter Miami Seaquarium and send its animals to sanctuaries and other venues where they will receive better care.
