Accompanying the condolences were hundreds of calls to end killer whale captivity.
Lolita the orca’s death has sent a massive community, reaching far wider than Miami where she called home, reeling as they try to come to terms with the loss of a more than 50-year-old animal.
The Seaquarium said Lolita developed a renal condition in recent days. She had already suffered health problems in her tank last fall before recovering. Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava posted, “Alongside the many Miamians who grew up visiting her, the generations of activists around the world that were inspired by her story, and the caretakers who remained dedicated to her until the end — today, we say our final goodbye to our beloved Toki.”
Former Indianapolis Colts player Patrick McAfee posted, “RIP Lolita. I wish you could’ve experienced life in the open waters.”
